Actually, Parker did it! After learning last fall that a Wii was beyond Santa's budget, Parker started saving his money to buy one himself. He managed to save money he had earned doing chores, recycling cans and bottles, Christmas money, and birthday money until he got the $250. It was such a great experience for us all. We were able to teach him about saving, staying out of debt, paying tithing, and working hard for something you really want. There were times he was tempted to buy something else, but with a little encouraging, he stuck it out and is so glad he did. After a week long search for a Wii, Justin happened to track one down at Target that had just been delivered. The boys grabbed their shoes and the Wii jar and took off. There were just 2 left by the time they got there. Justin came home with one happy boy and wii have been having fun all afternoon! Wii love it!

Good job Parker! R.J. is trying to save up to buy one too, but he keeps buying other stuff!
Kelli, I just love reading your family blog. I feel like I am updated on a lot of the day to day happenings in the Jeffs house! I know our countdowns are pretty close, so I am always thinking of you! Take care and keep blogging! :) Love, Erin & Jason Meise
