I had the idea to Skype with my parents when we got together for the party and have the kids sing them a few Christmas songs. The kids were actually very good about it. They sang Jingle bells and Silent night. It was fun to watch the kids and I know my parents really enjoyed it.
After the kids sang we opened presents from Grandma and Grandpa. The kids were so excited about their gifts. Carson got some Star Wars Legos, Connect 4, and a face sticker book. Brynn got a new Cinderella barbie, a Minnie mouse dress up dress, and a Barbie fridge. McKay was at home sleeping but he got an I tunes gift card. The kids ravaged through the presents pretty quick (no sense of order). Afterwards the adults opened their presents and we opened family gifts. My sister had the great idea of doing a Christmas movie or book for each family. I think it is a wonderful idea and it was fun to get some more Christmas books and a movie.
After the presents were opened the kids scattered to play with their toys, we talked to my parents on Skype, and we ate some yummy treats. It was low key and lots of fun. We had a great time with the family. We missed my parents but it was nice for them to still "be there".

We loved being part of the Randall Family Christmas using Skype! Thank you so much for including us! Thanks for posting the picture--it's much clearer than the Skype. We love that you all got together and had such a wonderful time! We'll be there next Christmas!
