I love it when we spend $600 on a Wii System for Christmas and the very first day the kids get to play it they say, “This is the worst game system ever!”
And I also love it when the kids are playing our brand new very expensive Wii and they throw the Wii-mote on the floor in anger.
But what I love most of all is when they say, “Oh yeah, if you’re so smart, you beat it!” And then, I do. I know it shouldn’t but it feels soooooo good!

haha I’m sure they’ll learn to love it. Good for you, though, Shana.

Good for you Shana! It sounds like you have had a wonderful holiday season and what a nice present for your family of game players. I bet before long they will be in heaven. I love the hammie picture… really, really cute and I have so enjoyed seeing your kids making all the treats and such over the last month. We loved your Christmas card. You and Mark have such a darling family and we really enjoy watching them grow. Denise
