| Danny goes for a big splash |
It's nice that it doesn't get dark until 9:30PM during the holidays, especially when you like to play volleyball in your backyard with your family. We have been playing a lot lately, and enjoyed an extended, epic set of games on Christmas evening.
Our kids have always felt frustrated that Mike and I don't wake up earlier on Christmas Day!

| 22 alarms on 7 devices |
This year the boys set 22 alarms ring at random intervals between 7AM and 8AM in the master bedroom on Christmas morning. Alarms hidden under our bed and around the room. Phones and iPods set with multiple alarms, and even alarms that would power up the phone once it had been shut down. Since Mike and I had been awake until 2AM the night before, we stumbled around in a muddled state trying to deal with one alarm after another, falling asleep in each little interval.
By 7:30AM, there was no going back to sleep.
Besides the obvious reasons, one reason that this prank was funny to me is that we require the boys to leave all their devices and phones on our bedroom dresser at night.
Books of the Week:
 |
| Annual read-aloud for the entire family. |
 |
| Read-aloud for the girls. I love the chapter about the babies, "John and Barbara's Story." |
