A New Tradition

A friend of mine recently posted on Facebook about a cool tradition in her family. It is a family sleepover night. They eat junk food, play games, decorate cookies, get new jammies, and sleep by the Christmas tree. We loved the idea and decided to have a Loraine Family Sleepover on the Friday before Christmas! The kids all got new jammies, we had pizza for dinner, decorated cupcakes, and played Wii games. After Oksana went to bed (in her own bed since sleeping by the tree wouldn't work with her bed time), we watched The Polar Express. The boys slept by the tree but Larry and I slept in our own bed so we could actually get some sleep! The next morning Evan told me that the tree was too bright and they had to turn it off to get to sleep. I told him that maybe next year he could just sleep in his room and he wanted to know why he would do that when it was so fun to sleep by the tree! Well OK, I guess lights or no lights it was a fun adventure!
