Christmas Skype?

We'll all be in Pelham on Christmas Eve from about 1pm on (but stepping out to hear Kate sing at 5 o'clock mass). If any of you guys are going to be together and we can work out a time, I'll bring my laptop up. Let me know in the comments...

Guess what we did today...

Tree Trimming and Ice Cream Cake, Parts 1, 2 and 3

So I took some video footage of our fun day on Saturday -- chopping down and decorating the Christmas tree, followed by Haagen Dazs ice cream cake to celebrate Mimi's birthday. Problem is, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to uploading/editing these little video clips. I'd love to splice them together into one short video, but I don't know how. So instead, you get to watch three separate eensy weensy clips.

Check out the detail of the grain of my leather gloves in this one:



I love the action in this one:

And here's where the ice cream comes in. Happy Birthday, Mimi!

... sadly, the third video refuses to upload, despite numerous attempts. Too bad, really -- that's the one with the fully decorated tree, and Vivian dancing on the table while Mimi blows out the candles on the beautiful and delicious Haagen Dazs ice cream cake. Oh well. Sometimes technology is really annoying. To bo continued, I guess...

P.S. If anyone has any advice for me on what to do with these little clips (AVCHD? Wha?), I'd love to hear it.

And Vivian too.

WE MAY HAVE FOUND ANOTHER COUSIN

Perhaps Barack and Michelle will join us next summer at the cousins party. We could have an all Irish theme just to make them feel comfortable. Jaye, you'll be in charge of getting parking passes for the Secret Service detail
