Today we had our family Christmas. Just Jon, Maddisen and me. A quiet day, just the three of us. Opening presents, being suprised and then breaking in the new stuff :) Santa brought us a Game Cube and a couple of games. Jon took some old PS2 games and some duck tape wallet money and we fleshed out the system with a group game and extra controllers ( Read more... )
