Pentatonix is a group whose music we have used in our annual Christmas videos for years. Their music has accompanied our family slideshows, so they are tied to our history. They performed a great concert and we knew almost every song.
This is what we have to show for our family’s efforts this summer, a party full of lights and people, a celebration for Daniel and McKenna.
So many people helped us, and I have kept a record of the tender mercies that got us to this day.
The boys earned their Eagles about 18 months ago, just before the pandemic. We wanted to do a court of honor with family at the Weber, so we waited a long time for this. We gathered on a Sunday evening at Pines Ranch during the reunion, and I just love a mountain backdrop for this event. It was a special evening.

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves: we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Psalm 100
The phrase I love is, “It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves.”
I look at this little video of our children and reflect how their qualities have matured over the years. I see they carry, and are developing, many qualities that can only be traced to heavenly parents.
Woot!
Each day leading up to Christmas I will post a scripture about Jesus Christ at the bottom of my latest post.
Timothy is an awesome pianist. That is all for today.
This little movie was part of our family Christmas video for the year. We give a nod to some of our activities from 2016, such as scouting, scuba diving, ballroom dance, and music. We hope it makes you smile. Happy New Year!
I am always a little surprised when Daniel’s school schedule is finalized. What classes will he try this time? This year he auditioned for a choir, bought a tux, and now he’s a singer.
He is a man of many talents.
