The Second Day of Christmas: Technology!

Day 1 of the Christmas Phones.

Over the past two years, phone technology has really taken off. The jump was relatively hard for husband and I. Repeatedly, as we tried to set up our new G2 phones, we found ourselves asking the Teenager questions like "How do you turn this on?" and "How do I get back to that other screen" and "Where did that menu go?" It brought back memories of having to explain how the VCR worked to older relatives. Except now I'm the older relative.

Re-reading yesterday's post, I have to smile. Every year something happens to remind me that real-life Christmas is not a Hallmark Card, and that a sense of humor is invaluable towards keeping my sanity. Today was wonderful. Daughter loved her pink guitar, pink phone, and pink mini-computer; Teenager loved his PS3; and Husband and Teenager enjoyed playing with their mini-marshmallow guns. After gift opening, Daughter sang a few impromptu songs, and we alternated between watching movies and watching the Teenager play his gaming system. As Daughter says, "Happy Family Day, Merry Christmas!"
