On Saturday morning, Rachel and I woke up early and left Knoxville for her parents' house. After seeing her parents, we set out to pick up her sister in West Nashville and headed for Waverly to meet her Mom's family for a Christmas dinner.
There, we saw Rachel's Uncle Tommy (mom's brother), who was pictured on this blog previously at Gus's before a football game, and her mom's sister Janice and her family. 
Caleb and Trey (pictured below) and Becca (pictured with "Grandma" Janice above) provided the entertainment. It was great to see Uncle Dan (Janice's husband) and Rachel's cousins Stewart and Amy (and her husband Charlie) as well.
Reflections - The Wii
I was extremely lucky this Christmas to be able to spend time with my family and to receive many wonderful presents that I did not deserve. The tops of these presents was our Nintendo Wii. This system is revolutionalizing how we play video games. The more I play with it, the more I am impressed by it. It is extremely interactive and can be played by children of all ages - 4-80. You can even get exercise while playing, as you stand and mimic the actions of the participants in most games. It is completely addictive!!!
In addition, it is compatible with Nintendo Game Cube games, so your old controllers and games can be plugged in. It is connective with Wireless Internet, and the Wii Nun-chuck can be turned sideways and used as an original Nintendo controller. With the wireless access, you can go to the Nintendo Store and download classics, such as Tecmo Bowl, Excitebike and Punchout for $5 each.
Finally, you can create "Mii's" that resemble you and/or friends. I have posted a poll at the top of the page to see who you think most resembles their Mii. Mine is not that good because we can't get the hair right, but I think Rachel's and Clark's look really good. We made one of our friend Sheralee that is a spitting image of her. She was not included in the poll, as many of you have not met her.
I highly recommend that you each go out and buy one, if you can find it.

How in the wild world of sports did you get your hands on a Wii? Those things are impossible to find - and addictive to play.
Great seeing y'all over the break. Sorry you had such a terrible time with the rental car agency. So, you really get"exercise" with the Wii, huh? One more reason for us all to avoid the gym. Ha! Now, if they would just make a cycling game for Bill. PS - I'd pay money to watch Reed and Steve play Wii.
