Kinecting with Family

In preparation for Thanksgiving: "Noah, we're gonna celebrate Grandpa's birthday and Thanksgiving with our family like Brynn and Candace and Augusta and Grandma and Baby Kate and..." -> Noah as we pass the Galleria: "and Galleria!"

Me: "Happy 65th birthday, Grandpa. Can we play with your present?" Grandpa got an Xbox Kinect, and their house has never been more intense. Now we wear comfy clothing because we know we'll break a sweat when we visit.

Noah is so into Kinect that he pulled a muscle and popped a blood vessel in his leg from jumping around so much. Every time he finishes a game: "I got a gold medal!" Even Ari gets into it and imitates the hilarious movements, but she doesn't have to worry about hitting her head or hands on the ceiling.

It's a lot of fun to watch everybody play, especially seeing Grandma and Grandpa working it. I can't wait to see the dancing game. Noah has even been very patient about sharing turns. The main problem now is explaining that we can't just go over there anytime we want.

Noah: "I'm thankful for Chuck E. Cheese and going to the park with Daddy. What are you thankful for, Daddy?" -> Me: "I'm thankful for my wonderful Kinection with you and the rest of our family."
