We Are Taking This Show On The Road

With My Rock Star Brother...
As our lead vocalist. We are now accepting requests for gigs. New Years Eve? We'll be there to Rock your party! Hurry, our phone is ringing off the hook with requests. Yes, we are that good. Where was this game all of our lives. Rock Band was made for my brother, the Rock Star! He doesn't miss a beat!
Katherine on drums....

Andrew on guitar... He really is more excited than this photo captured.

Katherine can drum the best of the drummers under the table. She and Brent are an amazing combination.

Santa brought Megan a real guitar with a Gift Certificate for Guitar lessons starting Monday.

This is her warm up.Rock Band for Wii....if I could, I would buy the entire system for my Rock Star Brother, Brent. This game was made for him. (The rest of the world just gets to enjoy the fun!)

Wii...another word to teach Spell Check!

Wii

What More Do You Need?

It has been comfirmed, there is absolutely no doubt....Jeff and Alison are completely ready to get married and set up a household. They recently purchased a Nintendo Wii. With a Wii and their new Lap Top Computer, seriously, they have everything they need...what more could they possibly need or want as they get married and set up a house?

Can you even imagine being in the same room as Jeffrey introduces Andrew to Wii? Oh my!

Wii Are Having Fun

Wii Is Evidence That Santa Is Real

See below for Complete Proof

Ron told me tonight he has "Wii Elbow"

They have been playing baseball, tennis, pool, ping pong, and bowling right in the Family Room.

Fifteen years ago when my boys received their first Gameboys, they screamed and screamed and screamed..... just like their little sisters did yesterday when they opened The Nintendo Wii. Those loud screams coming from South Florida were from my house... they are over the shock now and totally immersed in Wii Play. The Wii was being developed when I worked for Nintendo. Never could I have imagined how absolutly awesome this system would be. This is me speaking.... the anti-video game mom! Even working for Nintendo as a company rep did not swing me to the "buy video games for my kids" side.

The fact that our family received a Wii is complete evidence that Santa is real. As Katherine and Megan explained, "Our parents would NEVER buy video games for us, only Santa would give us a video game"

Megan took it a little further today when she told Katherine that Santa was absolutely real, because "Our parents would never, never, never buy make-up for you like Santa gave you" It looks like we got another year of Christmas Magic with our 8 and 10 year old.

Jeffrey and Alison come home tomorrow from Gainesville for a late Christmas Celebration.

It was so hard to have all 3 boys gone this Christmas. I am so excited to see Jeffrey and Alison! 51/2 months until their wedding (but who is counting???)

Merry Christmas

Christmas Morning

This morning, Megan and Katherine were two very excited little girls as they headed downstairs to see that Santa had, indeed found our house.

Last night, we left oats on the front door step for the reindeer to eat while Santa was inside leaving gifts. Last week, Megan asked Santa to please have the reindeer leave hoof prints....mmmm. This morning, Grandpa and Katherine went to the front porch to see that the oats were gone and then noticed that the early morning rain washed away any possible hoof prints that would have been left. Thankfully, Katherine noticed a white splat on the front porch near the empty oats bowl, Grandpa helped her realize that must be a reindeer dropping. (Thank goodness for the white splat of whatever)

Last night, after we went out to look at lights, we came home to a package on our doorstep. It was a gift Santa wanted us to have early (a new camcorder!!!) The attached note explained that the girls should not wake up too early and interrupt him ......like they did last year. They interpreted the note to mean that because they interrupted Santa last year, he was not able to leave all of the presents. This year, it was not difficult at all to convince them to sleep a little later. No way were they going to mess with Santa and his schedule!

Today was a quiet day. We played games, ate and ate and ate, took naps and waited for Andrew to call (which ended up being tonight after 7) It was great to talk with Andrew!

We survived our first Christmas without any of our boys at home. I will cry if I think about it too much! Thank goodness Grandpa and Grandma came down to stay with us!!! We played a new game... Apples To Apples! Totally fun for all ages!

If you were wondering what the screaming coming from South Florida was this morning.... it was my two very excited little girls opening our new Nintendo Wii!!!!!

Wow! Oh, I mean Wiiiiiiiiii!

Merry Christmas to All!!!!!
