It’s All About Mii!
I may have mentioned this, but one of our big Christmas surprises was a Wii gaming system. We’ve really been enjoying it and my son, turns out, is a freakishly good Wii bowler. One of the cool things about this system is that you can create your own “character” or avatar called your “Mii.” (I realize my teenage nephews…assuming they even read this…are probably cringing ‘cuz I’m sure I’m not getting the terminology right. Plus also, they probably cringe anyway. They’re teenage boys.) Well, my son didn’t stop at creating his own image.
This is his Wii interpretation of me (or Mii). 
It’s pretty close, actually.
This is my husband…
This is my mother…
My daughter says, “This looks just like Busia. Except the Mii Busia’s skin is kind of little bit smoother.” Harsh!
This is my father…
(Beeps is short for Beepa. My daughter couldn’t say Grandpa when she was teeny and it kind of stuck.)
He’s been a little bit obsessed creating a Wii village of everyone we know. The kids keep running back and forth asking, “How do you spell Tyler, Kyle, Sara, Mrs. So-and-so.” Yes, to my friends, family, neighbors, school teachers, we have a Mii version of you in our game system! Be afraid Bedford, be very afraid.
I’m glad to see another family is enjoying the Wii as much as we are! Christmas night my daughter and I stayed up until 4 a.m. playing tennis. I had “wii-itis” so bad I needed help with my bra! Our “mii’s” look alot like us as well. Especially my husband! I don’t know how to upload the photo’s. Your Busis looks like our “hannah montana” with blonde hair.
Fun times, we play more Wii than watching TV. From bowling so much, my son had a 245 game (8 strikes in a row) a few weeks ago at Forest View–they go on Thursdays with gym.

Wii have no wii which is probably good as my Mii would be more of a “Yii!”

Good question Tami! We haven’t done an Aunt Becky (or Uncle Mike). I’ll get the kids on it this evening
They HAVE done their cousins and one of my mii nephews looks freakishly accurate.
