Our five kids enjoyed their game consoles during the two week winter break. The consoles kept them busy and happy while they were home from school. It was pretty cold during most of the winter break, so they weren't able to go outside as much as they would like. Having the game consoles in their rooms was a big help, because they could play the new games they got for Christmas. They were excited to receive a few new games to play on their game consoles. The new games kept boredom at bay for the entire two weeks, what a relief! I even played a few games with them, for quality time with the kids doing what they like to do. They have several different game consoles, from Nintendo to Playstation, and even some handheld ones like Game Boy and PSP. For some reason, having just one kind isn't enough, they have to have as many kinds as possible. The good thing is it gives us more possibilities for gift ideas. I'm so glad they were happy and busy during the break.
