Christmas Take Two

Grandma Chris came up to Vermont to visit right after Christmas... she brought three bags with her on the plane, two of which were filled with presents from Dan and Paulette. Not to mention the two large boxes of presents she shipped up a week beforehand! So Aiden had his second Christmas celebration on Dec. 27th, and by now he was an expert at shredding wrapping paper and waiting anxiously as Da-doo unpackaged and untangled whatever was in his new package. He got lots of books, bath toys, a cool farmyard set, a wildlife train, and a complete ultra-cool wardrobe from crazy uncle Dan & Aunt Paulette.

Now that we (at long last!) have our webcam up and running, Aiden gets to video-chat with his Grandpa Deegan, Crazy Uncle Dan & Auntie Paulette, and his Grandma Chris all the time. In the picture below Dan & Paulette are about to watch Aiden open his x-mas presents from them. Modern technology! P.S. For anyone considering webcam video calling, I highly recommend Skype over Yahoo! Messenger. We spent 5 months (literally) trying to tweak Yahoo accounts on our computers to that they would work (log-in problems, security setting problems, etc.) and when we finally decided to give up and try Skype, it took all of 5 minutes to have the video calls working.
