Y'all are hilarious!!! Love how excited Reeve got when you were actually making cookies! 😂😂😂 Now kenny wants cookies! Last time i made them was in Alaska. 😂
I was making peanut butter cookies also....but I added chocolate chips 😋 the decorations look great! I do sweet & simple now. I had to laugh when the star flopped over...lol to funny. Fergus sure looks all good & silly 😜
How beautiful! The homemade ornament was a thoughtful gift. I'm limited on space too, so I use garland and racks and build a tree on my wall. Complete with lights and ornaments. Mr. Reeve, the Cookie Book was so sweet. I actually have the original, passed down from my mom.
Beautiful decorating the stove mantle. The house looks good to me. Funny stories, thanks Amber. Yum, now you know your making cookies you will get anything done around the homestead your heat desires because you will release the Cookie Monster in Mr Reeves, lol. Have a blessed day everyone!
I thought the two decisions Reeve gets to make are to agree with all of Chrystals Christmas ideas and the second decision is to change his mind if he doesn't agree with Chrystals Christmas ideas. ha ha ha
Love how the piano top turned out. For my off grid cabin, I bought battery-operated lights at Home Depot in the lighting section for patio lights. They work great. Fun video.
The lighting in the kitchen was great on my TV when you turned off the extra lights. No need to use them for me. Save the power. And when the stove breaks down, get one that uses a battery for a standard igniter instead of the electric coil you were talking about. Also great to see the channel now gas over 11000 subscribers. Great growth from when I first subscribed 👏 🙌
Your brought back a lot of memories. I haven’t seen a tree like that since childhood. Matching the colors. Such memories. And I’m in late 40s. So neat ❤
Hubby didn't want a fake tree in the house, so he went out with the snowmachine yesterday and got one off our property. We have a lot of hedgerows with new spruce growth on our 75 acres, so one a year isn't going to be detrimental to the property. I've been known to leave outdoor Christmas lights up all year when we lived in SoCal. A neighbor told me that after New Years, they are "cocktail lights" until around Thanksgiving, when they become Christmas light once again❤. I've got the 3 ring binder Betty Crocker cookbook from the era of yours (the front cover looks very similar). I inherited an old Joy of Cooking from the 1950s from my mom that shows how to skin a squirrel 😮. I'm glad to see Fergus has fully recovered from being a stunt goat and seems to be enjoying speed dating 😂. Did you guys save the trailer, or was it a goner to be repurposed as a semi portable storage shed named "Crinkles"?
@@DSmith-ss8jo cocktail lights! I love it! The frame got cracked and bent in the accident, but our friend it's going to help us try to re-build it this summer. 💕
You folks are so entertaining to watch!! Great job with the decorations! Your home looks so comfy!!! When my wife and I downsized our home we gave up a lot of living room space where you would normally put a tree so we decided not to put a tree up. My dad told me that when he was younger and living in cramped small places without room for a tree, they would actually hang a tree inside of a doorway or from the ceiling somewhere. I remember when I was very young my mom made a green felt tree that she hung on the wall.She decorated it by using twist ties to secure small twinkle lights to the dowel frame on the back and zig-zagged them across the front. Then she sewed small bells, ornaments, and tinsel to it for decorations. Merry Christmas to you both!
Sure is great to see you guys! You've been missed. I have that very cookbook! I've had it for years. It's definitely a keeper! The decorations look great & so did the cookies. Stay warm... enjoy the cozy atmosphere in the cabin. See you on Christmas day🎄 ❤❤
Hi Guys, what a fun video, you did an awesome job on decorating for Christmas and making cookies, lol, I'm sure Reeve enjoyed that part, lol. Thanks for putting everyone in the Christmas spirit.
What a blessing to have your sister visit! The animals look so happy to get their treats! The decorations look so pretty, and festive! I’m so happy Mr Reeve got his cookies, Miss Chrystal! They look so yummy. t bone in the toilet?! What the heck…. Lawn dart to the head?..that’s a video by itself I am sure…..😂. Fish in the socks?…. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Oh my, waaaay too funny, you guys!,,,,,, love you two!❤❤❤❤❤❤
@ I wonder if there are funny stories in Miss Chrystal’s past that Mr Reeve could share?, ( I’m thinking you were an angel, but Mr Reeve might have something to say otherwise as we all know he is easily distracted by goats and cookies!). Seriously though, you brighten my day every time I see a video uploaded, wondering what adventures awaits you. Your sense of humour is a joy to see. Love you guys!
Glad you put out a new video. Happy you had a good visit with Reeve’s sister. Beautiful decorating, so homey. Ingenious how you did the tree. Glad the goats are still enjoying their cookies. Take Care and Merry Christmas!
My husband and I love your videos!! You two are awesome always funny a delight to watch!! Thank you for making me laugh! Please keep the awesome videos coming!!
Did you put up the Christmas tree too? Did you put lights on the outside of the house so it looks pretty it’s such a beautiful time of year. It’s so much fun.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Two of the best movies EVER !! Oh, you can make a soap mold from your ornament! My husband says Ms. Crystal will make Mr. Reeves his cookies ! Awesome video ! Living off grid is different from the way a lot of people feel we should live. My husband and are off grid here in Alaska. We’re learning.. lol Merry Christmas everybody!
Awww loved this. My Dads favorite is a Christmas Story. They just got a new puppy, we all voted and his name is Ralphie 😊 So nice to meet your d Sister Mr.Reeve. Take good care see you soon 😊☃️😂
A trick for removing dust from artificial tree branches, wreaths and garland is to put in a large garbage bag with salt and shake and the sal knocks the dust off. Works great, then you can add garbage to bag and dispose of all the dust.
That’s absolute love if your husband actually looked around for that cookbook for a year for you he’s an amazing guy and your fireplace looks absolutely gorgeous looks like you’ve got a little work to do in the summer putting up shiplap boards or something behind your fireplace to make walls. Looking good girl❤❤🎄🎅🏼🎄🎅🏼🎄
Your “Home” looks amazing and so cozy. I absolutely adore everything you two have done. You both are so fun to watch and make me smile. I just received my lotions and soap a couple days ago and I love them so much. Also the lip balm is perfect. Have a very Merry Christmas ❤
The mantle looks beautiful! The whole cabin looks so pretty. I saw the wonderful Thanksgiving you hosted from other channels. Wishing you both a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I love how you decorated your home for Christmas and the stories are priceless ❤️ I was blown away to see your cookbook. I have the exact same cookbook which was given to me by my mom who is no longer with us. I cherish it. Hmmm, what is under the tarp? Makings of a Manet to house a nativity scene maybe? Can’t wait to find out! Christmas blessings to you and yours my friend 🎄
I love this channel! You two are so fun to watch.... hope you sold lots of your homemade soaps at the events you went to! You guys have been busy! Good job! Merry Christmas guys!
@@cindyking6037 it'll be many many years. We don't have a mortgage and we don't plan on having one. We do everything out-of-pocket and do all the work ourselves. So as we have extra money, we start more projects. I think it's just a different mindset here out in the middle of the woods. Our big priorities are staying warm and keeping our animals taken care of. I really have no daydreams about sheet rock. Ha! Will be revealing a new project on our Christmas day. 😊💕
Hello sweet Miss Chrystal and Mr Reeve how are you I hope everything on the homestead is good how are holly and juniper I hope they are loving the snow and keeping the moose away I heard something about our Canada postal service the government told them to get back to work they have been off for just over 30 days on strike so I will be sending you a Christmas card still but it might be a little late there is over 200,000 Thousand passports to be delivered and over 180,000 parcels plus all the mail what a time to go on strike I know you will probably not get your Christmas card before Christmas 🎄 but it’s the thought that counts, right thankyou for all the great and beautiful pictures and videos merry Christmas too all four of us here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️💕🇨🇦🇨🇦🥶🥶🥶😎🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄god bless both of you.
