Around 2 hours each night

First night we finished at about 1:45 a.m. and the second night at 4 a.m.

In hours length, lets work it out:
First night was about 4 - 5 hours
Second night was about 8 hours, or something.

Kinda weird saying "would you like chicken for dinner?" at 3 a.m.

First night we finished at around 3:45 a.m., second night at around 2:30 a.m. Yeah, that chicken in the wee hours was hilarious!!!

1st night at 1.15am and 2nd night at 2am. We could have finished earlier the 2nd night but most of the kids fell asleep by the time we got to the meal and we enjoyed the peace and quiet!

Our seder ended sometime around 3:30, so about 5 and a half hours. I went to bed after the 3rd cup...at 2:15. I figured it was better that way...since I'd already slept through more than half the seder at that point. My 2 year old nephew stayed up to the end, intermittently singing "mah mishtara" (no, that's not a typo).

I am also not sure what time it ended but my kids stayed up until the end. I think they went to bed around 2 am. The best part was they slept pretty late in the morning. Eventually we will get back onto a normal schedule.

Not so long, we were all tired so we didn't make it long- the baby was more awake than I was in the end Twisted Evil

I would say 2 hours or so.

The first night we started around 9 ish and finished at 2 am. We were totally shattered and kept falling asleep. But the kids stayed up the whole time. But the second night was amazing everyone had slept during the day. We started at around 9:30 and finished just after 2:30. The kids really enjoyed themselves we sang and discussed the story, etc... Everyone really got into it. The two eldest boys went to sleep after Benching. My little one just kept going he wanted to open the door for Eliyahu Hanovi. Afterwards he was very upset that no one had come and he wanted to re open the door for him to come in. It's very hard trying to explain to a three year old that you can not see Eliyahu Hanovi. But in the end he did except it even if he was not happy about it.

Downs, he asked for a bike Smile

. (Or rather, I did. hehe.) If it were up to him I dont think he'd ask for a sibling anytime soon - why have his attention taken away from him? He he he.

first night we said 'leshona habah' at 1 am, then started singing. but ds had friends show up to learn so wwe stopped singing, they took over, and I finished cleaning up and went to bed.
second night we ended around 12:45- with all the singing, but ds and dd stayed up to learn.
