Ashton opened her gifts a little bit ago and she was completely excited. We got her a pink Nintendo DS… and the Wii. She got a few games to go with each and a couple other little things. We had to save to get her what she wanted but she really does deserve it because she’s such a good kid when she’s at our house. She was ecstatic because she asked for the Wii for Christmas but she says her step dad got it instead which, in her own words, “really sucked” so she was extremely happy to get her own Wii. I guess that would kind of suck for a little kid to want something so bad and have someone else get it. At least she’ll get to play it at both houses… I hope. I think certain video games are fine for kids to play in moderation. It’s been interesting to see Ashton play Rock Band on the Xbox 360 and get really good at it. We don’t let her play Guitar Hero III though. The characters on there don’t dress appropriate for an (almost) 8 year old.
Speaking of video games, I also got Preston Assassin’s Creed which is an amazing game. The graphics are insane and the game play is incredible. But, definitely one to play after the kids are in bed.
Anyway, I’m going to go watch Ashton play her Wii. I’ve never seen it played before. Maybe if I ask nicely she’ll let me have a turn.
