The Third Annual Hope Family Christmas Video

You've all been anticipating it, so we won't make you wait any longer. Here it is, the third annual Hope family Christmas music video.




Frankly, we had no idea so many people liked our budding tradition. We assumed everyone just tolerated it. We actually considered not doing the music video this year (due to a tight schedule) and met with resounding cries of despair. Literally, some people actually screamed "Nooo!" when we told them we weren't making it. So we just wanted to thank you all for the support. It's nice to know people laugh with you instead of at you (well, we know you're laughing AT Dan, but he's okay with it).

Merry Christmas to all!

And for those who are new or need a refresher course, here are the previous Christmas music videos:

(and yes, in all of these pics of nova she is wearing her princess nightgown. the thing is with her at all times. she insists on wearing it ALL THE TIME. i can convince her to change her clothes to go out, but the moment we get home, and i am talking the MOMENT we get home, the thing is in her hands and she is asking to wear her nightgown.......sigh......and the pic of her in the coat, she is wearing her back-up, too short princess nightgown because we were washing her beloved pink one.)
