It was my birthday yesterday, and Crystal (with some help from Doug, Bea and Elizabeth) got me a Nintendo Wii. YAY! I was so excited, I had no idea that that is what Crystal had been planning to get me. Avie got me some accessories for it too, what a sweet little baby.

We ended up over at Crystal’s parents house and had some beer and a barbecue, on the new barbecue that I put together that afternoon, I’ve started to really love barbecued food since I’ve been in Canada, makes me wonder why barbecuing is not as popular back home. We played some Wii Sports later in the night too which was so much fun!

Avie didn’t miss out on the fun of opening presents and LOVED the book that auntie Karen sent her, she loved seeing herself in the mirrors, and when that got old, she just chewed on the wrapping paper. So thank you to Karen, Shane, David, Carl and Jodie from Avie!

Thank you to all my family for the gifts sent in the box, the jumper is a perfect fit and I have been wanting a new book to read for a while. You all make me and Crystal feel really guilty as we are always so bad and sending our packages, we will send one soon though, we are working on it already.
