Disclaimer: We took our Christmas tree down on New Year’s Eve. But it did snow here today so it’s a perfect opportunity to dive into a bit of Christmas nostalgia with this great video that Dan and Stephanie sent me!! They decided to get their parents copies of their main album for Christmas. And to give me new marketing material, they video taped them opening the album!! Not really, but it sure did make me giddy! Dan is currently deployed in Iraq for his third tour but was able to watch his parents opening their album online (thus the tipping of the laptop). Love technology! I have a hard time grasping being away for a year with our current capabilities, I can’t fathom how our soldiers did it in wars past. Thank you Dan for continuing to serve and thank you Stephanie sharing your hubby with our country and for video taping such a sweet Christmas memory! Special thanks go to Dan’s brother for the additional commentary and thanks to Dan’s parents for not throwing the book when it wasn’t what they expected!! ;)

My hubby deployed for 6 months twice only a few years ago, and the technology wasn't there yet for us to see each other like this. This is so great for our military men and women. It must be such a morale booster :) Thanks for posting this! It's so darn cute! (01/26/10, 8:46 am)
