This time of year we do this a lot because Mom, Jay, and Derrick all have birthdays within 3 weeks of each other. Typically it looks like this:
That would be each household (so 4 total) has their different apple device and we hold all the phones up for each other to see. In this case I think it was Mom and Dad on the iPad and Jay on Alison's phone. Jack's phone was out of commission so he wasn't in on this one but typically Mom and Dad would have had him up on their iPhones. It's hilarious and difficult.
Derrick and I had been thinking Skype might be better but change is hard. On mom's birthday we took 30 minutes and Derrick's engineering mind to get everybody set up and it's a game changer!
Derrick and I can Skype using the Xbox so everybody looks gigantic!
Lessons learned:
Skype was a good call
Thank goodness for Derrick
Jay's camera is amazingly high quality
