    Perfect wide-awake eyes…. but…..What? No throwing up? I always threw up.

      Aaaahhh! Hahahahahaha! It’s been a long while since I have laughed at vomit. Poor little you. Oddly, none of us ever got *that* nervous.

    Loved this so much! Funny, I still get the same way on Christmas Eve, all that anticipation….that’s why it’s my most favorite day of the entire year. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

      Merry Christmas! I love sitting by the light of the Christmas tree after the kid has gone to bed, sipping some Christmas wine and knowing she’s NEVER going to fall asleep :D

    I’m only a little scared of those facial expressions…

    I never did this. I’m waaaay too much of a champion sleeper. I ruined my own childhood, didn’t I?!

      I know lots of people who slept on Christmas Eve… I’m even married to someone who was capable of sleepin in on Christmas morning! I don’t understand it, but I accept that it is possible. :)

        I apparently did this once at least (as a child). Oops.

    Underneath the top left bunk, is that a poster of one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles…?

    I was the one who kept my (older) sister awake all night. I don’t think I slept a wink, ever. She kept telling me to go to sleep. It wasn’t possible! But I’m glad she let me sleep with her every year. Lots of memories. Love this.

    You certainly have a way of taking me back to my childhood and sharing a room with my little sister. I love this one.

    My older brother was always mad at me Christmas morning for sleeping in now sleeping in is ALL I want for Christmas… and my birthday… and Mother’s Day :-)

    Merry Christmas and thank you for the time you spend on your blog… it is a delight!!!
