Amazing! Merry Christmas, Pipers.
Did Orison take that last photo?
If Orison ever needs a singing partner I just happen one that may work out.

HILARIOUS!!! I loved it!
Orison made my Christmas morning very bright, thank you!

Cross-pollenated theological categories just show integration and systematization of knowledge.
And Merry Christmas.
Let every heart prepare him WHAT?
Spoken like a true Minnesotan, Orison. :)
Rum.
I’m pretty sure he says “rum”. ;-D
Mondegreen of the year.
A breathtaking display! I’ve been to professional concerts where they did fewer songs. That’s a lot of song for your buck.
I hope you sell tickets next year.
If you do, you consider a greater variety of hotly-anticipated refreshments.
orison looks like mohler. xD

I was impressed at 5:30 with Come Thou Long Expected Jesus, but I was shamed in my own Christmas carol repertoire when he busted out the second verse to We Three Kings! I didn’t even KNOW there was a second verse!
Orison’s a natural … great pitch!
That was awesome — my kids were enthralled at his performance!
How pretty! (the family pic)
You’ve mentioned this before, but it bears repeating.

I posted this on Molly’s blog, but I’ll repeat it… You might just have a future music major on your hands! :-D
my one-year-old must have requested this video at least five times now. he likes to clap along. =)
I love it! The dance at the end was precious!
