Mer”wii” Christmas

It’s 11:00 p.m. All the presents have been opened. We’re suffering from multiple paper cuts and injuries due to the plastic ties that hold toys in boxes. We’ve decided that we’ll need to move to a bigger house; and the Wii was a HUGE hit.

Big I and Lil C were angels today. Big I loved her Leapster L-Max and Lil C loved her Little People and clothing. Big I thought the festivities were over from Santa and Mommy and Daddy and then we read her the letter Santa left for her. Santa told her that on his way out of the house, he noticed that Mommy and Daddy left a special surprise for her under the downstairs Christmas tree.

She ran down the stairs, ripped open the box and gasped. She was so excited to see the Wii and learn that it wasn’t a CD player for her uncle.

Since the first time she played the boxing game, she mastered it. First she knocked out her Daddy, then my sister’s boyfriend, then me, then her Daddy again. She’s unstoppable, and the Wii is so much fun.

Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate it. Happy Holidays to those of you who don’t.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go check out real estate listings and/or storage facilities.

For those of you who’ve been inquiring. . . My Dad came home from the hospital on Saturday. . . finally.
