We finally finished opening our Christmas presents last night. It was the only time we were all together since returning from Christmas and it not being too late at night.
My wife and I gave the family a Wii -- an interactive video game. Very popular, hard to find this Christmas. It is the first video game we've purchased for the kids. Of course they've been complaining that they are the ONLY kids in town without a video game.
In any case, they've been very please and excited and have ejoyed a good many tennis matches, bowling games, and even boxing with this new game.
Last night the boys got their final presents from us. For my ten year old, there was a large set of "Mars Mission" LEGOS ® and for my eight year old there was a creepy crawly maker (you know, you pour goop into a metal mold and cook it until it's rubbery).
Despite the desire for the Wii, I think the boys were MUCH more excited about getting these last gifts. They spent the rest of the night making goopy spiders and bugs and building with Legos.
I'm glad to see them playing with these, hands-on activities!
