Our day started at about 4:30...

Yesterday, the boys exchanged one of their Christmas gifts that broke for some Bakugan game pieces. Henry said that he was too excited to sleep last night, and couldn't wait until the next day so that he and Seth could play with them. They were also too excited about the five new fish that we added to the aquarium yesterday. The boys asked if Caroline could sleep in their room last night, and there was a lot of fish and Bakugan talk before they actually fell asleep.

Well, true to his word, Henry couldn't wait for the next day. He woke up at 4:30 worrying about the fish. I went to check on them (they were fine), and I heard Seth and Caroling up and talking. Henry came back to the room, and the kids actually asked me if they could stay up and play Bakugan. Amazing that they even tried that one!

Needless to say, they were a bit tired today. They actually all fell asleep at the same time for a nap in the afternoon (MIRACLE OF MIRACLES!), which was lovely. They were all refreshed for ice skating on the pond with their daddy and Uncle Bill.
