So it seems like every one of our family parties of late has turned into a Wii party, and this last New Year's was no exception. To be fair we did start the evening with some human interaction. Gene and Brenda hosted and so we began with Gene placing a Post-It note on everyone's back with a name on it. Using only yes or no questions we had to try to guess who we were. Jenn guessed her Marilyn Monroe early, it took me a little longer to guess my name of Evel Knievel. It was a good time and everyone got involved. Midnight was somewhat anticlimactic as we just barely managed to pull ourselves away from our conversations to count out the last five seconds. It was a little hard to believe just how many of those that Jennifer and I have celebrated together.
Well once 2010 had finally rolled around the party began in earnest with a new game called Just Dance. For those of you who haven't seen the game trust me it is the type of thing that Youtube videos are made of. In fact you might try searching it there I would bet dollars to doughnuts that you'll come up with at least a few examples. Definitely, not a game for the inhibited but man what a blast. Essentially, it allows for four players at a time to just hold their Wii-motes and try to mirror the dancer on the screen. A couple of the evenings highlights were a group of four boys ranging in age from nine to about seventeen dancing to the Spice Girls. By far the evenings highlight though was when the dads got up and danced to KC and The Sunshine Band with an Elvis encore.
If you ever get invited to one of our family parties, be warned, their may be some dancing involved.
