New Year's Eve

This is just a quick post. I'm trying to stay semi-caught up. On New Year's Eve we let Catherine & Megan stay up until Midnight for the first time. Some years we've put them to bed and then woken them up around 11:30 p.m. We had yummy snacks and played games. Poor Megan tried so hard to stay awake, but fell fast asleep about 11:50 p.m. Just 10 minutes to go. We tried to wake her up, but to no avail. She was out. Catherine of course, stayed wide awake until midnight and was even up after I went to bed. She throughly enjoyed being able to stay up late, playing games and enjoying the sparkling cider. She has informed, quite a few times, that on certain nights she never went to sleep. She just laid in her bed until morning. On New Year's Eve, she told me she stayed awake for 6 nights and if she stayed awake that night also, it would be 7. I hate to burst her bubble that she really has slept. She is my child who has always fought going to sleep. Can't miss out on anything.
