Our Christmas morning was a magical one this year. We got up around 6 before the kids. The one day a year where they are not dragging us out of bed. I thought that we were going to be waking Andrew up, but he wandered down. We had our cinnamon buns and opened gifts. the kids were very excited to give us the gifts that they picked up during Christmas Shoppe. We gave their their gifts and they were so excited. Neither kid said anything about how few gifts were under the tree. It was alight year this year because we are doing something very special that we will reveal below.

We also had FaceTime Christmas with Allison’s parents. They send up a box of gifts for everyone before Christmas and then we open them while we do FaceTime together.

I had a call scheduled for Mickey and Minnie to talk to Eva and Andrew and tell them that they were going to be going on a Disney Cruise. You see, I was invited to go to Disney Social Media Moms Celebration in February. It is a conference where I can take the family along and it is in Walt Disney World and also on the Disney Cruise. We’ll be sailing on the Disney Dream for 3 days. I also set up three cameras to record the kids’ reactions. However, the GoPro on my head wasn’t pointed the right way so I didn’t get much footage out of that one. I had better learn how to use that before we go on the trip. The phone call did not come in when scheduled so I tried to make the call come immediately. It still didn’t come so I had the kids come in to the kitchen where I had something very special set up. You can see it in the video below.

A Subway Surfers Animated Series is Coming! First Look!

Subway Surfers

So, there is this very popular game called Subway Surfers. This is one of those endless runner games. I have not played it before. I’m not a big fan of that genre of game but it is extremely popular despite what I think about it. So popular in fact that with 1.6 billion downloads to its name, Subway Surfers is one of the most successful mobile game of its genre, being crowned the number one most downloaded game across all platforms of 2017. In Subway Surfers, dash as fast as you can! Dodge the oncoming trains! Help Jake, Tricky & Fresh escape from the grumpy Inspector and his dog. How long can you keep surfing in this slick, exciting endless runner? Available on Google Play, Apple’s App store, Windows 10 and Amazon.

The game has gained so much popularity that is going to become an animated series. I have a teaser of the show below.

Here is the description of the show. “The series, scripted by Brent Friedman (Star Wars Rebels, Star Wars: The Clone Wars) and produced by Daytime Emmy award-winning producer Sander Schwartz (The Batman, Baby Looney Tunes, Ozzy & Drix) will give fans a chance to actually hear the characters they’ve grown to love speak for the first time and delve into the lore of the Subway Surfers universe and follow the adventures of Jake, Tricky and Fresh. The animated series will premiere next Summer with 10 x 4 minute episodes, followed by a long form series of 22 minute episodes.
