In 2007 when this family tradition began, Britt was 17 years old and Lydia was 2 months old.
Britt and Paige have basically aged out of this obligation. Soon we will need to start incorporating their offspring.
The last five kids were given a chance to call this a dead tradition. Troy and I said, "Hey guys, we can call it if you want. Would you want to call last year's production the last one?"
They would hear nothing of it. They are not too cool for this tradition yet.
We had about 8 hours total to give to the project so it was a simple year. One-half day of filming a few hours of recording Hope singing and putting clips together, voila. At one point in the filming Troy was negotiating with some guys who thought we needed to pay them, while the kids and KJ and I quickly filmed what we needed. It is always good times and negotiation on this island.
From our Winter Wonderland, we wish you and yours a most beautiful and joy-filled Christmas holiday season. Thank you so much for loving Haiti, Heartline Ministries, and us.
Your encouragement and engagement has meant a lot to us this year!
XOXO,
Troy, Tara, Isaac, Hope, Noah, Phoebe & Lydia
