YES, Christmas is exciting again!

I realize this post is being written waaaay after the fact (I’ve been a bad blogger this year!), the Roades family had a wonderful Christmas. We stayed home this year, opened presents from under the tree, and just enjoyed a peaceful celebration of Jesus’ birth.

Of course, this included at least one materialistic highlight when I opened a new Wii from Rebecca! Never having been much of a gamer (I really tried to figure out the 400 buttons on a modern game controller, without success…), I have been extremely interested in Nintendo’s brainchild for months. Granted, I only played it once (and that only a few weeks before Christmas), I knew I’d love playing it.

And I do! In fact, we have already logged many, many hours playing Wii Sports (the game that comes with the system). Bowling and tennis are particularly addictive, but baseball and golf are fun, too. We’re still getting the hang of boxing, but it seems to have potential. Next up: Pirates of the Caribbean and Lego Star Wars! I figure any game for which you can use a sword would be a good opportunity to see how well the Wii works. I’d like to try out Zelda, too, for the same reason.

If you’ve never had the opportunity to play a Wii, here’s your invitation: Come on over! Oh, and if you have a Wii, here’s our number so you can add ours as a friend:
