This is the 1999 Christmas letter set to video.
The long-awaited "Star Wars" prequel finally came out in the middle of this year, and with it a whole new generation of fans. Eileen's and Pete's first overseas adventures started this year (actually restarted for Eileen), albeit for different reasons, times, and places. The recent "Waking Ned" movie had plenty of good Irish music to use for the rest of the soundtrack.
I case you are wondering what is happening with the slide in the second photo, that's Claire sliding head first into a pile of leaves! Video editing software is Pinnacle Studio 11.
