- The Wii was a far far bigger hit than I thought it would be - and I expected it would be big. The only issue so far has been that they both want to play (big shock) which means we'll need to be getting another controller stat.
- It was a very electronic Xmas: The kids got the Wii and more DS games, we got a replacement DVD player, and Mrs. G. got a new digital camera, a Magellan GPS, and an iPod shuffle.
- My body does NOT like it when I overindulge. Holy cow. I've spent the entire morning, uh, evacuating the previous day's overindulgence...
- Letting the kids stay in their pajamas and play with their new toys all morning (and all afternoon so far) is about a hundred billion times better than screaming at them to clean the house. Even if it is less productive...
- Watching BabyGirl G play "Disney Princess" on the Wii is quite possibly the cutest thing I've seen in weeks...
- We spent about 6 hours with my folks and my sister yesterday. I love them dearly, but that's about 5 hours too many.
- My mom is an amazing cook, and I really need to spend more time learning from her. It's going to fall on me to pass the torch to my kids, and I don't want to pass on a legacy of Shake 'n' Bake chicken and frozen meatballs...
That is all.

I got my wife and kids the Wii, and conspired with our friends to get her another wiimote and nunchuck, and a couple games.
She wants the Wii fit now... god help us.
And how many sets of batteries???
Chris,
Yeah, Mrs. G. has hinted to that effect as well... The whole Christmas chocolate effect and all that... (I didn't help, either - I got her a large bag of her favorite Lindt chocolates...)
As for the kids, well, we made a significant tactical error in not buying a second controller and nunchuk, but that oversight will be remedied early next week when Mrs. G. takes them to the giant box store of electronic happiness...
Old NFO,
All I can say re: batteries is that I'm glad we shop at warehouse stores... The Boy needed a whole bunch for his new shootin' gallery (pics forthcoming, heh), and the remotes for the Wii, plus about 7 or 8 different radio controlled vehicles of some sort, and...
Yeah. We're a veritable Superfund site with all the batteries around the G. household...
Take a look on Amazon for the controler, we got one with the Wii "Wii Play" as part of the bundle. You should check BJ's for deals too!
Good Luck
