On Christmas morning, my family's tradition has always been to open a Santa gift and check the stockings. My kids - the three older kids, especially - understand that 'Santa' is for fun, but St. Nicholas and Jesus Christ are for REAL. We do have fun with this family tradition.
This year, Eric and I decided to invest in a larger gift that all the kids would share. Excitement was anticipated and we were not disappointed. Screams, yells, smiles and jumping up and down ensued after packing and bubble wrap was pulled from the box. It got all the adults reminiscing on our favorite gifts from Christmas' past.
We've never had a 'gaming system' in our house before, aside from the Gameboy and DS, so this will be a learning experience for both kids and parents. However, you'll notice that Zeke is holding the Wii Fit. I am hoping that I will enjoy that particular game/exercise program (extra baby weight BEWARE!). I also hope to use the Wii for physical fitness or incentive within our homeschool schedule.
If anyone has recommendations or warnings on Wii games, I would be appreciative.
Tom mentioned getting a Wii next year for Christmas...let me know how you all like it. I'd like it for the same reasons as you.
ReplyDeleteWe just got Nicholas the DS game, he loves it and was SO surprised!!! The look on his face was priceless, he'd never even think to ask for something so expensive, which made it so worth it!
