Christmas via Skype

I wasn't super excited for Christmas this year, just because I was afraid of being terribly homesick... but it was EXCELLENT! We had asked our families before if they would set up a webcam where they would be opening presents, so that we could 'be there' during the festivities. It was so much fun! Not only did we forget for a little while that we were thousands of miles away, BUT we could also toggle back and forth between both of our families. It was awesome, even though we had to wait all day for our families to wake up and then we stayed up until 2 talking (gotta love the time difference).

Huzzah for technology. I had an awesome Christmas!

Here are what those screenshots are all about:
1. Waiting on the stairs for mom and dad to wake up with the Carters
2. Walking into the living room (again with the Carters). Thanks for holding us Russell!
3. Opening presents with the Carters
4. Scott keeping us entertained during a present lull
5. Our stockings! 
6. Christmas at the Williams
