In the morning:

Open the door, turn on the lights, and chant the names of the Deities in a festive mood:
jaya sri-sri-guru-gauranga, krishna balarama ki-jaya

for putting them to bed chant the following verse:
sayyam agacchatam krsna yasodananda-vardhana
sayyam agacchatam rama patitam mam dayam kuru
O Krsna, O source of Mother Yasodas happiness, now please come to Your bed. O Lord Balarama, please come to Your bed and bestow Your mercy upon me, who am lowly and fallen.

You can also chant Krsna-Balarama-dhyana:

dadarsa krsnam ramam ca vraje go-dohanam gatau
pita-nilambara-dharau sarad-amburuheksanau

kisorau syamala-svetau sri-niketau brhad-bhujau
su-mukhau sundara-varau bala-dvirada-vikramau

dhvaja-vajrankusambhojais cihnitair anghribhir vrajam
sobhayantau mahatmanau sanukrosa-smiteksanau

udara-rucira-kridau sragvinau vana-malinau
punya-gandhanuliptangau snatau viraja-vasasau

pradhana-purusav adyau jagad-dhetu jagat-pati
avatirnau jagaty-arthe svamsena bala-kesavau

diso vitimira rajan kurvanau prabhaya svaya
yatha marakatah sailo raupyas ca kanakacitau

Akrura then saw Krsna and Balarama in the village of Vraja, going to milk the cows. Krsna wore yellow garments, Balarama blue, and Their eyes resembled autumnal lotuses. One of those two mighty-armed youths, the shelters of the goddess of fortune, had a dark-blue complexion, and the others was white. With Their fine-featured faces They were the most beautiful of all persons. As they walked with the gait of young elephants, glancing about with compassionate smiles, those two exalted personalities beautified the cow pasture with the impressions of Their feet, which bore the marks of the flag, lightning bolt, elephant goad and lotus. The two Lords, whose pastimes are most magnanimous and attractive, were ornamented with jeweled necklaces and flower garlands, anointed with auspicious, fragrant substances, freshly bathed, and dressed in spotless raiment. They were the primeval Supreme Personalities, the masters and original causes of the universes, who had for the welfare of the earth now descended in Their distinct forms of Kesava and Balarama. O King Pariksit, They resembled two gold-bedecked mountains, one of emerald and the other of silver, as with Their effulgence They dispelled the skys darkness in all directions. (its from Bhagavatam)
