Mimi and Papa bought the kids a Nintendo Wii for their birthdays this year (!!). Dad (Papa) found it in a Wal-Mart in Houston, shlepped it on a plane home to Dallas, then mailed it to us. The globe-trottin’ Wii came in a nondescript brown paper wrapped box. But the longer it sat on top of the TV, awaiting opening for Bria’s birthday (since her’s comes first on Feb. 7th), the more sure the kids strategized that a Wii most certainly awaited inside.

So Dar and I decided to ratchet down the certainty a bit by replacing the contents of the box with some miscellaneous items we had bought for Bria’s birthday this year. I then hooked up the Wii to our TV while the kids were in school that day.

Here’s what happened right after Dar “accidentally” dropped the box while pulling it down from the TV:

Now, we’re having a great Wii-kend.  We hope you do the same.
