It was two days before Christmas, 2007 and Krista, Tom, and Matthew had all arrived in Florida the night before. At the top of Krista's list that year was a Wii and the "boys"had heavily and successfully lobbied Ross and I to give Krista this gift early in their visit so "she" could enjoy it longer. After opening the Wii Krista positioned herself on the floor in front of the TV as she set out to create her Mii. Tom and Matthew sat next to each other on a couch behind her salivating as they waited their turn.
At first the boys were jolly as old St. Nick taking turns needling her as she, in true Krista fashion, methodically made her choices of eyes, hair, etc. turning to ask their opinion as she worked. After many, many long minutes of enduring Krista's thoroughness their joy turned to annoyance. Photos taken of them waiting show the progression of their joy, anguish, and I believe even the patented "Tom" fist shake.
I remember this! Do you remember how Tom challenged us all to get just a one ... or was it a two in wii bowling? Something about him thinking this was mathematically impossible. We were quite excited when we did it. I thin the McCrackens were there too ...
