We have the same problem. Brennan was up at 7 and we woke the other two up closer to 8. Poor Brennan, we made him wait for the others. He did get much more video time.
Ok, since your other reader commented, I thought I should too. NEVER, EVER, in the history of Christmas in our household have we had to wake the children on Christmas morning. I am now repenting of the sin of envy that I am feeling right now.....
Being an only child of two wonderful parents, I learned to entertain myself, appreciate friendship and, with no siblings to blame "accidents" on, accept responsibility for my actions. Being a Navy Brat, I learned that being happy where you are planted is your choice, that everyone and every place has something awesome to offer, that you can stay very close to Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins even though you may be miles apart, and that I like Hawaii a lot better than Chicago! Being happily married to the most incredible man, a mom to the greatest boys and being owned by furry critters makes me one lucky lady. And most of all, being a child of God makes me, well....Just Plain Blessed!
