- Good morning everyone.
Today is new year's eve.
You're from the future,
so you're you're in 2021 already.
You already know what happens,
but for us it is December 31st.
New Year's is gonna be a little different this year.
Usually we have a bunch of people over,
we stay up till midnight
and we bang pots and pans
and we go shout outside.
We might do some of those things this time,
but not having the friends over.
That's not, that's not happening this year
but I think we might Zoom with some friends,
and this year my sister is hosting a Zoom concert.
What are you? Are you sneaking in?
What is this?
Oh my goodness.
It is a Lego daddy with a baby.
- From my giant airplane.
- [Dad] From your giant airplane set
that you got from Santa Claus
- Yes!
- [Dad] Hi Parker. - Hey.
- [Dad] Oh, sorry, hi Parker. - Hi.
- So Parker is a part of my sister's show.
She's doing a big digital performance today.
For those of you who don't know,
my sister plays the character Miranda Sings
and she has gone on tour with that character
and as herself.

- This is what it's like having a conversation
in our house by the way,
you get interrupted by a lot of children
and the things that they want you to see.
What is this?
Anyway, she used to tour
and do live shows all the time.
This is a second time she's done a show
while in quarantine
through the internet.
It's a live event.
It's gonna be really fun.
And the last one she did was all Christmas.
This one is more like her standard show.
I think she's actually got a
New Year's Eve component to it.
- Hi. - Oh, look.
(Duncan speaks gibberish)
- It's Duncan, and Woody the cowboy.
Wait. Two Woody the cowboys?
(Duncan giggles)
What's going on here?
What is going on here?
Anytime we could our family always got involved
in her live shows.
Sometimes we'd go on tour with her,
across the United States.
More often though, like if she did a local show
like in Los Angeles - [Duncan] (indistinct)
- Or Southern California.
Hi. - [Duncan] (indistinct)
- Anyway, our family is usually involved
in the live performances and this time Parker is
doing a very special mini Miranda part of the show.
So he's gonna,
gonna like zoom in.
Look, there's Woody, back again.
You thought Woody had left, but nope.
Woody's still here, still hanging around. Still
(laughs)
- So, right now Parker is going to rehearse his part.
And then later today he's gonna be in the show.
Anyway. Thank you so much
for joining us on New Year's Eve.
Let's start our day off.
Ready to perform?

would be a good experience
and you are proving me wrong.
Oh, oh I've seen you before.

It looks like there's a lot of me in there,
so um - Yes
- [Miranda] So what are you going to do to prove
that you could be Miranda?
- Well, I'm going to tell the story
of Christmas because you did it wrong last time, so.
- [Miranda] Oh. You're telling me I did it wrong.
- Yes
- [Miranda] You would be incorrect,
but let's see you try to prove it little one.
You're going to try to tell the story
of Christmas?
- Yes.

So, just try to make it entertaining when it's over.

Cause' I can't see me.
So just checking.
Cause technical difficulties.
So, um well.
It did not work. Clearly.
So um that means you're not good enough,
and you are not the chosen one.
But you might be noticing
I'm dressed like a magician.
Um. Do you see that?
- Mhm. I see that.
- [Miranda] Were you like, ooh she's dressed
like a magician?
- I was like, oh my gosh
she's dresses like a magician.
- [Miranda] Right. So, um.
Basically It's cause I knew you would fail,
and so, that's why
no offense
um so that's why I was like oh
we're going to need magic, to make this go to 2020.
- [Chris] Great job guys.
You did really well on the show.
That was great.
Did you get some kisses?
I see a little kiss,
smooch, zone here,
and a little smooth zone over here.
Did you get kisses today?

of Miranda sings-es.

ziggy zag, zoom, zoom

Ziggy zag, ziggy zag
ziggy zag, zoom zoom.
(Luke coos)
- [Chris] Are you excited about 2021?
You are! you are!
The kids did really, really well on the show today,
and it was really cool.
Seeing people like, Tweeting pictures
of them watching and participating in the performance
and seeing the kids in the performance.
I was like really, really cool. Very special.
So if you did tweet that, like, just so you know
like it meant a lot to me going through the Twitter feed
and seeing you guys watching the kids
and being so supportive of them.
So that was really cool.
So thank you.
Now the kids have started their Zoom time with their friends
and basically there's stuff that they've got planned
for every hour.
I think the first hours gonna be chain making.
They're going to make these chains that they
take apart every hour.
And then I think they're doing makeup
and there's like game time and watching a movie.
There's like a whole bunch
of different things planned for while,
we wait for midnight,
and the kids are hanging out with their friends on Zoon.
- This is my chain that I will rip up,
during the times.
Every hour.
I will rip one of these.
- [Chris] So you made a chain for every hour until midnight?
- [Bailey] Yeah.
- [Chris] And you're going to tear one link off every hour?
- Yep.
(Luke yelling)
- [Chris] And you left it just out of reach of Luke here.
- He's very upset about that.
- So Jessica's dad is here
and we haven't seen him since Christmas.
So we're doing a distanced gift exchange right now with him.
He's bringing out a little surprise for the kids.
- [Jessica] Oh my goodness.
What did Grandpa bring for Christmas?
(clucking)
- Chickens! Chickens!
(laughing)
- [Grandpa] Hello, how are you?
(excited squeals and laughter)
- Baby chickens!
- Okay, its okay
- [Jessica] Oh it's gorgeous, they're gorgeous.
- They are so cute,
- I already named them.
- You already named them? (laughing)
- Ones pepper.
- Ones salt and ones pepper
- That is pretty amazing.
What do you guys think?
- Yeah.
- [Boy] How will you recognize them?
- [Bailey] We'll figure it out.
- [Jessica] We'll know their personality.
- Thank you so much Grandpa
- Thank you so much.
(clucking noises)
- Perfect present Grandpa
- Thank you!
(bag rustling)
- [Grandpa] (laughs) That's what I
really would like to give you.
- [Jessica] Yes. - [Parker] Thank you!
- [Jessica] Yeah!
(paper tearing)
- [Grandpa] Maybe you can get your
older brothers and sister to show you how to use it.
- [Boy] What's it.
What is it?
- [Jessica] It says time tables the fun way.
So it's a trick
for learning multiplication.
- [Duncan] Thank you Grandpa John.
- [Chris] Is it makeup hour right now?
- Yes - [Chris] Oh, I see.
- And face paint.
- [Chris] And face paint.
(upbeat music)
- So it looks like we're six rings away
from midnight (Luke screams)
Which means it's six o'clock cause
12 minus six is six.
And the kids are now watching a movie.
They're watching Soul.
Right. That's what you guys are watching?
- Yeah. - Watching soul.
And they're watching it with their friends.
So everybody in the group has Disney+
and they're all watching Soul simultaneously,
while they're on zoom.
So, they get to watch a movie with their friends,
without their friends actually being here,
and Luke is very excited because I keep going
through these rings and he keeps trying to grab them.
See.
Don't grab the rings.
It's not time yet.
Don't do it.
Better get him out of there.
(Luke squeals)
(Chris laughs)
- Are you excited for the new year?
- Yeah!
- Yeah? You are?
Whoa. (Luke squeals)
- Whoa.
He's so excited for the new year.
We've got four paper rings to go.
Duncan's in bed.
Luke's in bed.
What are you guys doing now?
- Just hanging out on zoom.
- [Chris] Just hanging out on zoom?
That's fine.
- And soon we're going to make a Fort
- [Chris] You're gonna make a fort?
- Mhm. (chatting on Zoom)
- Were gonna do it now.
- Four hours to go. Fort to make.
And they did build quite a fort.
- [Boy] What?
- [Chris] You built quite a fort here.

- [Chris] Oh my goodness.
This is quite the fort.
- Now we need to attach the lights.
- [Chris] It continues around this corner.
Somewhat.
There's a lot.
There's a lot of space in here.
- Yeah. I'm going to sleep in the living room.
- [Chris] You are?
Oh, you guys setting up some pixie lights?
You guys are going to watch another movie?

- And Ava's watching Parent Trap
and Catherine's watching Parent Trap too.
Love you, bye.
- All right. We're about 20 minutes away
from the new year,
but it sounds like a lot of people
are setting off fireworks.
So we're just going to go outside
and see if we see fireworks, while we wait.
Are you ready for the new year?
- Yes.
I think a lot of fireworks are gonna go off
at the New Year.

with the new year?
Or do you think we're going to have to
