It was Allie's birthday last Saturday, and she and Chris came to visit for the weekend. He had surprised her with a Nintendo Wii. They brought it with them so we could all play. I must admit, I've never been what you would call a "gaming" person before. But after playing tennis on the Wii, I just might have to save up for one myself...
You can see that Allie likes her present. Dad pointed out that this was the first time she has NOT gotten clothes or a gift card for her birthday. It was all themed around the Wii -- extra controllers and chargers and games.
Sunday night we had a "Welcome-back-Stephen-Happy-birthday-Allie" party. Allie's showing some of her friends how to use the controllers for Mario Party.
Stephen's shirt is appropriate since he and Dusty traveled all the way from Los Angeles to GA in four days.
Chris points to where you can buy your tickets for the gun show. Such a funny, funny guy.
And the video footage. You must know: we created the redneck home theater by draping a king size sheet over the entrance to our sunroom and projecting the Wii on the sheet. The first video clip is Allie and Chris playing tennis. The second is Mom and Allie dueling with their cooking skills as they try to make scrambled eggs in Cooking Mama Cookoff. The final clip is Chris and Chris boxing.
