Old Timey Christmas
It has felt a little like Christmas at our house this weekend. Brad has been greatly anticipating the arrival of the Nintendo Wii! I am sure that you will be able to read about his journey (saga) shortly on his blog that is if he can breakaway from the Wii! I have greatly been anticipating the Wii only because it can play all the old school games like the original Mario Brothers etc. therefore to me it has felt like Christmas. When I was little I remember begging (my mom and grandparents would say this is an understatement) for the new game console that was coming out. Everyone was talking about the Nintendo and it was going to be so much better than the Atari; that sealed the deal and I just needed to have one don’t ya know! I was so excited to open it Christmas morning (I am sure that I knew that I was getting it since I am a bit of a peeker)! For the rest of the break I would sit with my cousins and even my grandparents to play for hours on end. Brad and I have been like little kids wanting to both play the Wii and neither wanting to take turns. It has been fun to remember being a kid and just having silly fun! Although we cannot play for hours on end after all we have to wait for bedtime for Charis and plus we are old and cannot stay up to late quite like we use to. After Charis is down though we do break out the fun! Poor thing! One day I am sure that she will be able to join in…if we share!
I didn’t know you could play the old time games on it. I remember how much the kids loved to pay Mario! I hope you two have fun! Love, Me

That is like us w/ the Legend of Zelda!! It IS like being little kids again.
I’m glad Brad was able to snag one and that you’re both enjoying it so much. I can’t wait to see it and what games you have!
See you SOOOOON (all four of you)! 
LOVE,
Auntie Becca

You will definitely be seeing all four of us!!! Micaiah is starting to protrude and I have already moved to maternity clothes! I am finding that number two likes to pop out even earlier than number one did!
We are looking forward to seeing you guys and you will definitely have to come over and play with us…after we put Charis down!!!

Kay, if you are ever near by feel free to stop in and we can play. We will probably never grow up here!
