Wii are in Love

Happy Valentine's Day. We celebrated at the Newton household in a most festive fashion - with pizza and playing the Wii!

Yes, after months of hoping, wishing and almost-pleading, a Wii and Wii Fit were the family gift for my two Valentines. They were both very surprised AND very excited about it when they realized what it was. I am most impressed with the fact that neither of the two made any reference to a new TV, and both were genuinely surprised with the gift.

We cracked out the gift in the morning, but everyone had chores and work to do during the day, so the unveiling came in the evening. Schnoogs had everything out of the box and hooked up in record time; then she began to create our "Mii's" so that we could each have our own profile in the game. David cheered the creation on and I kept on eye (and made a few veto votes) on things from the kitchen while I made a family favorite for dinner; homemade pizza. Yum.

It might seem counter intuitive to register our fitness goals while munching on tasty pizza, but all agreed that it was a fun evening and we liked the interactive nature of things.

Looks like we definitely won't be needing a new TV anytime soon!
