After our coast-to-coast skype of a wedding (read all about it here) I thought I'd add another chapter to how great technology can be. The other night on my birthday my parents took part in my virtual birthday party. All the fun with none of the calories I guess!
My parents had sent a birthday package earlier in the week, and much to the dismay of my children, it sat unopened. When we were ready to pull out the cake, we skyped my parents down in Florida. They sang Happy Birthday to me with Jason and the kids and we captured it here in this picture.
While they watched us all enjoy my cake, I opened their gift and we visited. Later I carried the laptop into the living room and Ben and Alanya played the piano. We wrapped things up by taking them down to the basement so they could see how the construction on the new family room is coming. I can't help but think twenty years ago this would have been an episode of the Jetsons. Pretty amazing, isn't it?

I remember watching the Jetsons and thinking that would be so weird someday if we could see people while talking to them in person! And you are right... it is now a reality! Love the hairdo by the way from the back too! :)
