The boys have been asking for a Nintendo Switch for years. We already have an Xbox and a good gaming computer so I didn’t see the point. But when it gets so important to them that it is the top thing on their Christmas list for all four of them…they got a Switch this year for Christmas.

Christmas break has been playing a lot of video games. I make them go outside, do chores, and read books to earn more time. We also drove for an hour and a half to the closest sledding hill, due to crazy warm weather. We even played outside at the park, and there were lots of people there which is strange for December. We’ve had a lot of time with cousins, going to parties and having sleepovers. We made it to a jump park, Stars basketball game, Thanksgiving Point, and a short hike. Still a couple of days left, and the kids are learning that if you actually help Mom with chores, she’s a lot happier.
