We Want a Wii

On New Years Eve we went up to Grandma and Grandpa's and had a big family party. All the kids had fun. Paula and James brought up his projector and we watched Harry Potter 5 on the big screen in the heated garage. It was fun because they brought out all of the couches and they had the surround sound hooked up.




The big hit though was the Wii. We loved it. It's really cool because instead of just using a joystick or moving your thumb on a pad, you have a remote control that senses your moves. It's really quite engaging. Even Lisette really got into it. Here is Ian playing the boxing game with Ashton. He was really going for it!




Now all the children are scheming on how we can get a Wii. We said they'd have to save their money. But I have to admit that I was hooked too. The tennis game was really cool. Of course if we got one, we'd have to get Guitar Hero, Dance Dance Revolution, and Lego Star Wars. Not that we have the money, and not that we could even find one to buy. Well, maybe next year.

John wants a Wii as well. I'm thinking he needs to save his money too!
Thanks again for letting us come over Sunday night...we had a GREAT time!

Cousin Trisha here(using Jessica's account since she's already logged on). We got Lego Star Wars for Christmas for PS2 and Dave and the kids love it. I also got a great e-bay deal on two DDR dance mats (one cordless), a DDR game, an eye toy camera and two eye toy games and the girls play with either the eye toy or DDR mats practically everyday except Sunday (of course!) A Wii is just out of our budget so we make do with the PS2. (I have to brag-I got all that stuff for about $60-the camera, mats and all the games including the Lego Star Wars)

Emily, it was fun to have you guys over, too. We especially appreciated the cookies!

Trisha,
Wow, sounds like you're all set! I've actually never even played DDR but it looks like fun (and a great way to trick kids into getting some exercise.)
