His Early Christmas Gift for Himself ;)

My Big Kid finally got his new Wii U!  He's been wanting to buy one since it came out.  He tried getting one on Black Friday, but all stores that had them ran out of stock, so he had to wait.

connecting his new "toy" to the internet

On Friday, he came home with a big plastic bag that has the label GameStop on it, so I knew right then and there what was in the bag.  He waited for  that for like 2 weeks, and now that he finally has it, he said he's happy.  He admitted he kind of splurged on that thing, but he according to him, that will be his early Christmas present for himself, and that he doesn't need anything else.  When he told me how much he spent on that "toy", I was a little taken aback.  It did cost some $$, but he deserved it, so I'm not going to say anything against it.  And besides, he really doesn't spend a lot on himself.  It's only when there's something he really likes, and it's very rare.

I'm not going to lie, the Wii U is pretty neat!  My husband and I love playing Wii games together, and I am pretty sure we'll even enjoy doing it more now that we got a nicer Wii to play games with.  We haven't tried it yet, though, because he's been busy trying to familiarize how it really works.  I hope, this weekend we can finally start playing games.

this GamePad looks more like a mini TV to me =D

Well, he's got his gift for Christmas, what about me? (Hehehe.)

I really am not worried whether I get one or not.  I'd rather have my kids get more than me having one.  I don't need anything really anymore.  All I want to buy for the winter is, a new pair of boots.  My old one needs to go bye-bye.

But, on a second thought, I might not even need one.  Looks like we won't be getting any snow this year.  It sucks, though, because this will be our last Christmas here, and we would love to have a white Christmas again.  It's actually weird that it's already December, but it feels more like it's Springtime.  It's up in the 50s right now.  In 2010 and last year, we were already getting snow during this time.  I don't know what's up with that, but I'm not really happy at all!
