It's a wonderful Wii.

I thought I should jump on the bandwagon of posts about grandmothers. Actually, I just wanted to post a picture that I took today of my grandma playing the Wii. I brought my Wii home for Christmas, because I knew my family would enjoy playing it. I just had no idea how much.

Here's Grandma playing the Wii. I think they got her to try Beach Vollyball and Bowling. She was doing pretty good with Bowling, but was having some problems getting the controls to cooperate. A pretty good sport, I thought.



My parents have been enjoying Boom Blox and some of the Wii Sports. My mother managed to beat us all at Golf on her first go.

And then there's my nephews. I spent a few days visiting them, and they really had fun with playing the Wii too. I wasn't sure if they were sad because I was leaving or because I was taking my Wii with me. I think probably both.



I think that it is pretty awesome that my Wii has now been played by four generations of my family. I'd say this birthday present to myself was well worth it!

That looks like so much fun! Isn't it funny how video games can bring the family together? My grandma was totally into Guitar Hero on Christmas. She didn't play it (she didn't want to), but she watched us play it and asked a ton of questions, and tapped her foot along to the music. It was pretty funny. I'm glad you're having a good time with your family! :)

It was both, but they mention Uncle Brady these days a lot more than the Wii. The book you gave them is a huge hit. Caleb asked how they got so many stories into one book, and Tobias has fallen asleep with it more than once. I was explaining that Uncle Brady gave it to them and Tobi looks and me and says, "Uncle Brady is lost!!! He is gone!!!"

It was pretty cute.
