Wii Fun!

~*~

For Christmas we got 1 gift, 

or should I say the FAMILY got 1 gift.

That's it.  

Nothing else.  

Well... perhaps the stockings were filled.

The only thing under the tree was a Wii game system!

You see, years ago we decided that since baby Jesus got 3 gifts from the Wise Men, that we too would exchange the same... just 3 gifts.  It's worked out to be a wonderful thing because the kids REALLY think about their requests of what they would like to receive. This year though, they asked for a Wii.  Knowing that it would be big bucks, they said that Wii would be enough.  A week before Christmas I found a set of attachments for $12... sweet!

Can I just tell you how much FUN Wii has been?

F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!

Relatives knew we were getting it so we were bestowed with gift cards to buy games.  Great idea people!

I recently bought two games of my choosing.  Unfortunately they don't have Jane Austen or Afternoon Tea (hee hee) related games so I got...

Michael Jackson, The Experience

My favorite dance is of course "Thriller" cause I burn about 1,000 calories each time!  The idea is to copy the choreography of Michael or the back-up dancers exactly as you see them. The better you do, the more points you get.  If you do the timing exactly right, you even get Gold Glove perfection points.  By accident I found that out because I'm really not that good.  Seriously... you would probably bust your gut laughing.

My sister Melody on the other hand is... 

the Dancing Queen!

The other game is Wheel of Fortune

which has surprisingly turned out to be the kids favorite because it involves spelling!  It's just like the TV game where you "win" trips to Aruba and other fabulous prizes while Vanna turns the letters. We have even taken the game to my Mother-In-Law's to play as it's easy to set up and move from TV to TV! 

It's been a perfect activity to do in the winter when it's raining or just down right chilly outside!

Do you Wii?  What's your favorite game?
