Nice trip to NJ yesterday, we rented a huge van - a Honda Odyssey - and traveled to the Garden State Plaza mall. We spend a few hours looking around, was fun. Then, since we were in NJ, of course we had to hit Longhorn for a late lunch/dinner. Got back home in the evening, using Waze to navigate the traffic on the way back.

At night we watched half of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, we will finish the other half later this week. We have not 3 sets of wireless headphones, all working from the same base station, works great.

I have placed a request with AT&T to unlock my old iPhone 4s, and I can confirm it works.

Sincerely,

Very cool, we talked to my brother today via Skype as usual but we used the Xbox One to run the app on the TV, and the Kinetic cameras. Was awesome b/c the Kinect has multiple cameras and is also capable of zooming in and out automatically. Worked great. May start doing it this way going forward.

We created a nice e-card this year - Merry Christmas! Next year we may go all electronic
