Princess Bay late on Christmas 2010.

High points of Christmas:

• Ada playing with a pair of Barbie-esque dolls at my in-laws’. She announced to me that they were a mermaid Mama, a fairy Mama, and their babies were in the back of their speedboat which could also fly. Apparently when the fairy falls in the water the mermaid swims to rescue her, and the fairy rescues the mermaid if she falls out of the boat when it’s flying.
• Being told by Ada to put my phone away so I wouldn’t get distracted by it while she explained the details of the aforementioned family.
• Ada’s delight at her camera and her Lego crocodile.
• Maire’s delight at her guitar and bag.
• My father-in-law’s pleasure at Ada having selected a great book for him.
• Maire’s pleasure at Ada’s present, which, again, Ada had selected.
• The K9 Mail client for the Android.

Low Point:

The Vivitar camera doesn’t fucking talk to Windows 7, or Windows XP, or Linux. So Ada’s 15 Christmas photos are lost. Off to Dick Smith’s tomorrow to roundly abuse them for selling the product that ruined my Christmas evening. And then buy her a non-Vivitar camera, because not only does the camera not work, their site has no driver downloads, manuals, or information about any of their products. Fuck Vivitar.
