For Christmas, we gave the kids a family gift of sorts. We got a Wii...uhh, I mean they got a Wii. If by some weird chance you're unfamiliar with what exactly a Wii is, please do yourself a favor and google it. It is the most fun, interactive family activity we've ever done together. That was the point of the gift. We want to be intentional about having a family night each week. The Wii will be a great tool for the family nights.
Over the weekend, I was playing Duck Hunt with the kids. The objective is simply, point and shoot. Elizabeth did great. Emily waited for her turn to play. I could see that she was bursting at the seams and couldn't wait for her turn to play. Once she got the controller and the game started, she went kamikaze crazy...pointing all over the screen in random fashion. She was panting after. When the dust settled, she hit two targets. The two targets she hit were no doubt, out of sheer luck. She did have fun though.
With the beginning of a new year, I usually spend time reflecting on the past 12 months and setting new goals for the year ahead of me. To be honest, this past year sort of got away from me. Everything just sort of happened. This year, I'm determined to not let it get away and just go by. There are things I want to do. In order to do that, I'm setting goals for myself and family goals. I'll be sharing a bit of them in the week ahead.

In the year ahead, take aim at something so that you hit your mark.
