Congrats! It's great when everyone in a party can summit together.
Can't do midnight though, I'd nod off on the hike.
No one ever believes me when I tell them going up the Switchbacks is not the hardest part. For me it's always the trek back to Trail Crest and the last few miles back to the Portal.
2012? You still have about a month or two before the postholing hell starts.
