Big gift giving winner: Uncle Phil and Aunt Yvonne
When Nick woke up this morning, guess what he wanted to play with? The Thing motorcycle he loved last night? No. The baseball glove he raised in ecstasy? No. The throw pillows he seemed confused to get? No (yes, Sarah made him pillows for his birthday).
No, when Nick came into our bedroom at 6:30 in the morning he only wanted to play with was the Spiderman plug in video game. But as the audio from this game is just so damn annoying, I told him no. To which he replied "tartar sauce"(thank god, Nick watches Spongebob and not the Sopranos).
The other reason Phil and Yvonne win the gift giving award is their gift of the Star Wars video tapes. Earlier this year, Sarah and I borrowed the tapes of the special editions since Nick was getting into Star Wars simply by the massive marketing to children Lucas did for Episode III. I figured he was old enough to watch Star Wars and Return of the Jedi, which Nick loves (and not for the ewoks, he loves the lightsaber fight with Luke and Vader).
Well, since we had borrowed it some months ago, Sarah thought it was time to give them back. So she told Nick to give them to Yvonne. However, since Phil and Yvonne have the whole series on DVD, she told Nick to keep them. Nick was really happy about that. Now he has a copy of Star Wars of his very own.

Well, I was thinking of getting him the Grand Theft Auto game or maybe one of the Sopranos DVD sets, but we figured the Spider-Man game was a better hit.

Pete,
I'm glad Nick is loving the Spider Man game. I just knew he'd love that. I bet he picks it up pretty quick too. Oh, and Phil, just wait until Alek and David get a hold of that Grand Theft Auto...
