Wii! Wii! Wii!!!

Christmas was a total blast! The fam and I packed up our stuff and headed up to my Mom & Dad's place in Nashville.

I thought I was going to go crazy waiting for Christmas to arrive, just because Hunter and Matthew were simply out of control with excitement waiting for the jolly big guy to arrive!

The kids made out like bandits. They got lots of little things, but these were the really big memorable ones:

Hunter got a Game Boy Advance, several games to go with it, a RoboReptile, and a Star Wars lightsaber training game.

Matthew got a Smart Cycle video game system (It looks like a big tricycle that you can sit on and pedal - and this is how you control the video game... Quite cool if you ask me!) and an Easy Link system that uses character keys to surf the internet. I love not having to enter websites now!

Austin got himself a stuffed singing puppy that he's absolutely attached to. Carries it everywhere and hugs on it all the time. So cute! He also got a Clifford ride on toy, and a hammer that sounds like things are breaking when you hit something with it!

We as a family got the coolest thing ever!!!! The Wii. I'm addicted to it, I tell ya! As of this point, we're up to 5 games for it. You should see Matthew playing Wii Bowling. He totally kicks mine and Josh's butt on it. And Hunter is the Wii Tennis Champion! Josh loves playing the SSX series of games (Snowboarding) so we got him the newest one of it for him. I got the game I've been dying to play since it first came out but was dubbed "dumb" by Josh - Guitar Hero! It can't be too dumb... He's constantly playing it! (We've worked out a system for it. I play a song, he plays a song...) It's the only way I'll ever be able to live out my inner rock god fantasies, ya know? :)

My other Christmas presents were awesome too. I got a back massager cushion for my chair (and it has a car adapter!!!) a digital picture frame that I can show off digi-scrap layouts on, a Bunn Coffeepot (it has the reservoir that makes coffee in like 3 minutes.) new boots, a mandoline for the kitchen (There's a really funny story behind that, I'll have to tell ya'll about that!!!) and fancy coffee (things like Kona, FogLifter, French Vanilla...) and chocolate dipped coffee stirring spoons... Mmmmmmm!

So yeah, we had a good Christmas! I'm in no hurry for it to happen again for another year, though!!!

My biggest project now is to to start making 4X6 layouts for my new photo frame. I don't know if I could shrink down my completed ones to fit it and still have them look good... I don't care, it gives me an excuse to scrap and be creative, which I have really been missing since Christmas! Now if I could just break the Guitar Hero addiction... (Once I beat the game on Easy, I'm sure I'll be good... Medium looks downright impossible for me!)

Tee hee!!!!
