On Sunday, we headed back to Charlotte so Tyler and Ethan could go to the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Chirstmas party at Great Wolf Lodge, a resort with an indoor water park. Ethan had a ball and was excited to open a remote control car as a gift from BB/BS. We tried a new place for dinner and settled in to enjoy the end of our weekend and play with our new toy.
The older we get, the more our toys change. Or does our taste in toys really stay the same? At the holiday party for Tyler's office, everyone opens gifts from Santa, 3 people at a time. I always make sure Tyler and I have front row seats, because year after year it continues to be my favorite part of the night. Each employee gets to make a list and send it to Santa. Everyone pretty much knows what they are opening, but I still love watching!
Tyler has always been a very selfless gift asker. He asks for grocery store gift cards and vacuum cleaners for our house. This year he asked for things that he and Ethan can to do together. Super Mario Brothers was on his list and every night since he opened it, we have played it. I love that compared to some of the other games he plays, this one is simple enough that I can play with him. I love that it reminds me of playing nintendo with my sister when we were growing up and again with my college roommate in our dorm room. I love that whether we are playing with one player or two, we both love getting through the boards together. It is something our 8 year old selves would have loved...and I think that's what I love about it the most. :)
Adam is completely obsessed with this game, it is so hilarious! I hope Tyler enjoys it!
