Logan and I got a Wii a couple of months ago. Normally I am not into nintendo, but it has turned out to be an awesome purchase. It all started when the new Wii game of Donkey Kong Country came out. Staci and I used to sneak into our brothers room to play the original Super Nintendo version of Donkey Kong Country all the time. Such fond memories. So it was sort of random that Logan and I bought one, but we have found a couple other games we like too. We love to play together after Jack is in bed or sometimes we challenge each other to see who has to change Jack's poopy diaper. We have also started having regular Wii parties with some friends of ours. This last time we decided to make it official. Costumes were required and prizes given. Logan drew up a Wii Bracket of Greatness. We even rearranged the furniture to make room for the serious competition. We had delicious greasy food and stayed up into the wee hours to see who would be champion. I took the crown. That may seem lame that I dominated at my own party, but I truly was an underdog. Just ask Logan, my nintendo skills stink. But somehow I performed well under pressure and when it came down between me and Erica, I was champion. Dani and her creativity took the prize for best costume. She dressed as bananas.

| The theme was to come as a Nintendo character. Logan was Link from Zelda, I was Mario, and Jack was Yoshi. It took me all afternoon to track down a mustache. |
 |
| Erica and Nolan Carlile came as Princess Peach and Bowser. |
 |
| Nate and Dani Lloyd aka Bowser and Bananas. |
 |
| Mario with his trophey as the Wii-nner and Bananas with best costume award. I am doing the Mario jump, get it? |
 |
| The Clan. |
 |
| Lets all take a look at how amazingly creepy I look. I look like someone coming to kidnap children....slowly creeping out of the corner there. |
 |
| Just Dance! I secretly do have skill at this game. |
 |
| The boys take a try at Just Dance. Logan is actually quite good. |

I love the Wii bracket of Greatness! What a fun tournament. You always have crazy fun ideas and the best is dressing up! It brings me back to the days of Snow when we would use any excuse to dress up, even to clean our house so we could get our deposit back! I still think Jack is perfect. I don't think a baby/toddler could get cuter than he is! I love the haircut. Mrs Christensen, you are an inspiration and I love ya to pieces!
Chad and I LOVE Donkey Kong. We got it for Christmas and it only took us about 4 weeks to conquer. Every night we would get Jordyn to bed and play until my nintendo attention span was up. None of our friends are really into wii, but we would love to have some wii parties!
