Our oldest daughter Lizzy got a Nintendo Wii for Christmas. I had seen all the commercials and read all the hype, but let me tell you it’s truly a great family video gaming system! We’ve had a blast playing Wii Sports (Included with the console) Wii Play, and yesterday we rented EA Sports Playground all of which are loads of fun. You can also create “Mii” characters to look like family members, friends, or just bout anyone else. Last night I went out on the Mii Channel (you have to connect it to a high speed internet connection for this) and downloaded Miis other people had created. We imported Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Happy Feet, Chicken Little, Dora, Mr. T, and Albert Einstein. I also created a few to look like some pastors I know (funny stuff!) Here are 5 reasons to buy a Wii for your family.

• Brings the Family together!
• You move around during game play (exercise), not sit and stare like a zombie.
• Most game titles are kid friendly
• The most economical of all the new gaming consoles (PS3 & Xbox360) on the market. The console, one controller, and the Wii Sports Game sells for $249 plus tax. {You’ll want to get 1-3 more remotes which are $39.99 each.
• Easy and therefore FUN game play, even for my 5 year.

UPDATE: We’ve had a few kids get hit with flying hands, arms and elbows.  We call it getting “Wiied”.  So if you get one, or have one look out for those around you!
