New HDTV

SNV12756

It’s a 32” Panasonic Viera (TC-L32C12), and it’s very pretty. We’re dropping Dish Network and switching to DirecTV — keeping most of the channels we watch (Fox Soccer Channel excepted, but ESPN2 carries EPL matches on the weekends now, so no big loss) and getting 12 months of discounted service, and no installation or equipment fees (which the Indian-accented CSRs at Dish insisted were non-negotiable). We won’t get HD programming until next weekend, so we’ll miss the Super Bowl in HD, but somehow we’ll survive.

Wii Boxing

Float like a bee, sting like a butterfly.

All Wiied Out

SNV12753

Not sure if this is Joanna tired from playing the Wii cardio-boxing game or just tired of hearing us scream while playing Mario Karts.

Playing Wii Tennis with Nana

SNV12750

Cam has a rather (ahem) unique technique — shaking the Wiimote randomly whenever the ball gets close to him — but it was enough to beat Nana twice in a row.

Mum & the Boys, Christmas Day

One of my favorite photos ever for the smiles alone.

Wii!

SNV12739

Auntie Karen and Uncle Arthur were very generous. Too bad Cam and Ian have had so little time to play with their new Wii, what with all the adults using it.
