It was so wonderful that Grandma Kitty was there to share the day. She must have felt so happy to see her child and grandchildren not just surviving the day but absolutely LIVING through their pain.
When Tom was showing Eden how to use her new camera, she looked so grown up. Eden is growing up to be such a beautiful young lady. Sweet to see that daddy, daughter moment. Hugs
I've been crying through this entire video! Sophia's tablet from Andrea was especially precious. Sophia with her crown and jewelry and that sweet face reminded me of a younger Andrea! All the kids are beautiful! Hannah with the photos of Andrea and saying Mama; I could go on and on on the moments that were just tearful. I love the bond between Eden and Justus - Asher and Hannah! Andrea is so missed. God Bless You All!
Sophia was just loving that crown & jewelry! The sweetest look on her face! I thought she looked like a younger Andrea as well. I've noticed how certain kids kinda buddy up. Eden & Justus seem like a cool team! I love how Hannah & Claudia react to everything! And how once Hannah had that tablet, her attention was all on it!!!! Just the loveliest children! Give more hugs, Tom! I can't wait to see the kids use those outside ball things! I know they'll have a blast with them! Great job on the gifts, Dad!!!
"Mommy" was there. She will always be with every single one of you. She's looking out for you and guiding you. Hope the new year brings nothing but health and happiness for you and your beautiful children. 💜
Tom you did a great job picking out the perfect gifts for the kids this Christmas. You made them so happy and did a lot of the things that Andrea would have done. Thanks for sharing this special time with your kids with all of us.🙂
You did an amazing job Tom. The kids look happy and I think grandma Kitty being there helped also. What a wonderful mom you have. And an awesome job knowing what your kids would love. I think it’s funny you couldn’t remember Sofia’s bday date. Lol. Sounded like my husband lol
When Sophia said thanks mum I lost it. Your kids are so sweet and the boys looked very handsome in their matching shirts, and the girls look so pretty in their dresses. I hope 2020 brings you all peace and makes your dreams come true
Tom you have recieved the 9 most wonderful and special gifts. Each with their own unique personalities. So blessed and so precious. GOD bless each of you.
So precious! Tom, you did a fabulous job, everyone seemed to love their presents! Merry Christmas and a very happy new to you all! God's love is bountiful for His children and so is yours Tom. You teach your children this everyday by example.... of how bountiful your love is for them.🙏
I love how the children are so grateful and they way the speak to each other willing to help and they look at each other with pure love. What a blessed family...
You all look so beautiful in the new clothes. I love how you keep it to a few thoughtful gifts for each child, not over the top. The emphasis is on family and togetherness which is so refreshing in this day and age. All the kids are so happy and grateful for their gifts. Such beautiful manners and special memories.
I cried right along with you. 😔❤ Thankful for the love and care God is pouring over your whole family. It's not easy doing what you're doing. (Grieving) The ONE who lives within you IS very strong in you during this season of your life. It's a LIGHT shining in the darkness. Bursting through the shadow and delivering the dawn. HE IS the real reason for the season. It's ok to feel. It's ok to cry. Thank you for your testimony. ❤
God Bless this Beautiful Family 🙏my tears started coming down when Hannah said mama😭but I know mama is always there watching over all her precious angels n wonderful husband ❤😢
Andrea knew to have so many beautiful children. Each one is a piece of her heart. To continue in love, kindness and sharing what she has taught them. Tom live and love through each one. Merry Christmas.
Oh my gosh...when Hannah was wearing the unicorn mask and smiling that was totally Andrea's smile. I hadn't noticed before. Your kids do an awesome job buying for each other.

The kids have so much compassion for you an it just touches my heart to the point of over flowing tears. You are such a fortunate daddy how the kids so you so much love. God is giving you the strength you need every moment of the day and night to deal with your loss. He is carrying you through this valley. He will put you on the mountain in His timing. Love you all!

Thank you for inviting us into your home for Christmas day. It was great watching all the kids open their gifts. I started to watch the video where you were wrapping the gifts, but only got as far as the first three kids' gifts. I'm so glad that I did not go finish up that video first. I loved being as surprised as the kids were to see what was under the wrapping paper for each of them. You did such a great job with Christmas for your family. Andrea would be so happy with how everything turned out for the kids. Again, you are doing awesome at taking each day as it comes and making sure everyone is doing okay along with way.
Those beautiful eyes looking out of Sophia were so like Andreas looking at you merry Christmas you are doing a fabulous job she left her beautiful children in your safe hands
