    So what did everyone get for Christmas?

    My big thing was a Nest thermostat for our house.

    I saw your FB post, very cool toy! I would love to have one but it won't integrate with the Nexia home intelligence system so it would be another stand alone app on my phone.

    The only reef related item I got was a 2nd IP web cam for my sump area. When we go on vacations, I won't need anyone to watch the tank anymore because I'll be able to see the sump and display tank. Plus it's controlled by an Apex!

    Non-reef related items include a French press coffee maker, ceramic grinder for coffee beans, a milk frother and a 20oz mug/thermos. Oh and I got new Fox River socks. I am starting to show my age. Typically I wouldn't want socks but I asked for them this year. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/crazy.gif

    Got lots of duplicate stuff because people don't pay attention to wish lists. So... yesterday I placed several orders with BRS, etc to get what I wanted. :)

    My kids got a Wii U. I'm on the fence. So far it seems pretty buggy. Lots of problems with freezes and the game pad constantly losing it's connection with the console.

    My main gift was is a Cobalt Blue Kitchen Aid Mixer. I think my kids are expecting me to cook! I kind of played Santa for myself this year and went a little crazy taking advantage of Black Friday sales. I am getting closer to having what I need to set up my 120. I also played Santa for my Mandarin and gave him a fresh supply of amphipods.

    I also got a nice Best Buy card from my Dad. Today I went and picked up a Logitech 7.1 Wireless gaming headset and Battlefield 3 Premium Edition.

    I might get to play it if it ever finishes downloading 17 gig worth of updates.

    We have had not one problem yet. Did you get white one or black one? I think the hand held device play is awesome, because if I want to watch tv and Son wants to keep playing he can. What games do you have? We just bought Mad 2013 NFL football and The supper Mario Wii u game tonight. Been playing wii games in it up until now.


    Yeah it was for my kids too, but I like it. It took some time to update, maybe yours is not updated all the way?
