Bedtime Routine

I love the bedtime routine that we do with the girls before putting them to bed. While some nights vary a little, we always get some time with the girls and those moments are priceless.

After baths, Mya takes a bottle. Ally gives her sissy big hugs and kisses and then Nick or I take her in, pray with her and lay her down. She sleeps with her pacifier and Pooh Bear! I love standing in her room, holding her, looking at her sweet little face and sleepy eyes!

Then we take Ally into her room. We have started making up stories. Nick and I have different characters that we use in our stories and they don't always make sense but Ally LOVES them! Ally always wants us to say her preschool prayer with her. "Thank you for the world so sweet. Thank you for the food we eat. Thank you for the birds that sing. Thank you God for everything!" Such a sweet prayer!

A day can be as crazy as ever...I can be absolutely exhausted and these few moments erase them all! I feel so blessed that God has given me such a great family and sweet little girls! I hope that the girls enjoy this nightly routine as much as I do!

That was my preschool prayer, too!
