Still making up for lost time...

Some more fun Christmas memories. Anna wanted Guitar Hero III for our PS2 this year for Christmas. Well around here it was hard to get your hands on it. We went to 4 different stores in 2 different cities one Saturday but we were finally successful.

I told Anna to not get too upset if she didn't get it because it is hard to find right now. She might have to wait for her birthday in February. So just to keep the suspense going I wrapped a cassette tape box with a note inside for an IOU one Guitar Hero III.

She was still thrilled when she opened it even though she thought she would be waiting to get the actual gift. Then I mentioned that we could look for it in the stores tomorrow or you could just go up to my closet and get it now. She flew off the couch and her brother was going to try to beat her but she left him in the dust.

You can see from the last picture she was one happy girl.
Good Memories!


Smiles!

Yeah,I didn't want to scare anyone away from my blog! Those pictures and movies are going on a CD for the girls and then being permanently deleted!

Nick just bought it too- he needed it for the wii- that was hard to find too!
It's addicting- but I'm not crazy about some of the songs- especially when I have little girls wanting to listen!

That is so creative and funny. It also sounds like something devious that my mom would do!
