Amen
Next time put a container with water in the oven. That keeps the meat moist.
Arazo, you're not weird. You're original, one of a kind, special delivery just like God made you.
I’m here for the spiritual lessons. These children don’t even know how blessed they are yet. Joe & Alena, you are setting them up for success, not as the world gives but as God alone can give. They will remember this experience and these gems. Keep showing them what purity looks like. Love you guys ♥️
Can you imagine how her grand and great grand children will enjoy watching these life lessons handed down with joy and love? I would love to see my thrice great grands in this way.
I really love how Alena explained fasting in the car to her daughter. I'm new to this channel and I had no idea you all worship Jesus Christ that is really the cherry on top for me 🥺 I'm going to use this to help my kids understand fasting and the importance of acknowledging God because they look at me confused sometimes lol.. God bless your entire family 🙏🏾 ❤️
Yes that was beautiful.
God is good pray for your children too
Ikr.. I didn't know they talk about their faith either. Gonna def start tuning in more.
I'm Muslim and we fast ever eid 30 days before its eid
As Muslims our fasts are from sunrise to sunset. Since the holy month of Ramadan goes by lunar calendar it can mean long fasts depending on season and location (for example 16-19 hours long). Our fasts mean no drink such as water or food in that time but also means not engaging in human desires such as sexual relations between spouses, fighting/arguing, cigarette smoking etc as well during the fasting period. This continues daily for approx a 29-30 days. Our children began very young on their own and by 6-8 years old could do the whole time. In this time it is important to give charity and engage in worship. It is common to feed the poor and our hunger reminds us of those who do not have. I love the feeling of discipline and the closeness to God I feel when I do not engage in my human desires. I also see how much we consume compared to how much is really necessary as far as food. I have also done a continuous 10 day fast (no food but drink) while was husband was engaging in a 2 week hunger strike in front of the United Nations in New York City for political reasons. Our bodies, spirits and minds are capable of great things. I think it is great to teach the children this discipline and closeness to God as well as mindfulness of others in the world.
I was going to give a brief idea about how Muslims fast and why but you said it all mashaeallah. :))
Mashallah sister. May allah bless you and give you peace ✨
Maa syaa Allah…. thank you sister… it very brief…… 👍🏼
Jesus fasted for 40 days. I use water when I fast, but I don't eat at night.
I like all the things that have been said about fasting.. yes girl you are right about fasting and muslims. Nice to share 🤍 Next time try a week Elena.. we all fall (accidentally) a for the tasting when we are cooking.. last important note : for muslims fasting counts only if you made the intention to fast.
i like girls like Azaio they are really true to themselves and doesn’t care to fit in and be with the trend . She is truly the beat to her own drum .
I agree
So true.
Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️
*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
True
Which one is that?
This is an amazing example to the world, especially during this time and age when people are losing their faith. Thank you for this reminder mazelee
I’ve had no interest in fasting outside of weight loss lol but listening to Elena explain the WHY to Azaio truly moved me to find out more so from this video, I am searching up biblical stories of fasting so I can understand more. And if all goes well, I’m thinking of fasting 24 hours before Christmas.
It all in the Bible if you read it regularly
Hi @@tobiasgriffin4263. I have tried several times but can’t get past the biblical language yet. Eventually I will try again but baby steps ❤️
Isaiah 58 and 59.
Also do keep in mind you don't have to do a certain time. We just have to keep in mind that when we are fasting it is a sincere offering of ourselves to God. And we have to make sure to treat people during this time especially. God bless hope all goes well!
That’ll be great. Fasting is so spiritually rejuvenating
This is amazing! If y'all continue to allow God to lead y'all, you will never regret it. I remember when I first came to Jesus (sincerely repentant, done with living life my way), I would sit at my desk and read my Bible on my lunch breaks. My tears would fall onto the pages because I knew that if He loved those people enough to help them and heal them, then He loved me that much too. His Word was alive and it changed the course of my life. That was 13 years ago. God bless you all! I'll be praying for y'all!!!
And I was healed as well- from high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, I had an issue with blood, I was having to get biopsies to check for cervical cancer.. God completely healed me.
God really speaking to me right now. To go back of my fasting, praying more and taking time to read His words.
As a 17 year old Follower of Jesus Christ, seeing Akyli, Amyah, and Azaio reminded me of myself when I was 13-16 years old… I had no interest in knowing who Jesus was, did not understand the importance of fasting, did not want to read the Bible, did not want to pray,etc… I chose to be a teen who had a lot of friends, “live a good worldy life”, and make others happy. True happiness came once I have found the true meaning of life which is Jesus. He’s the one who we are to please in spirit and truth. I hope all of your children grow up to understand how good God is and want to live for Christ only. God bless❤️
I went through the same thing.
Joe is funny , cooking the turkey "is his time to shine ". Such dedication .lol.
Alena is such a beautiful mother, I love the simplest way she explained being thirsty in spirit but not flesh to Azao. Thumbs up mummy👍👍
I love this lady.
God bless you for raising your children for the Lord.
Many blessings
Amen 🙏🏽
Mazelee your family is really in the spirit. Teaching your children to fast at this age is a plus. But they can sip some water sometimes so their stomach don't ache. You all did well. Joe is the best chef. Love you all. 😍
Thank you. I hope they truly experienced something from it. Amyah and Azaio did drink water and some plain tea but I believe Akyli made a decision not to drink a lot of water.
Everything about the Mazelee is amazing 🤗. I love been here😍💚
I love how she teaches her kids spiritual principles in a good way!
My church we did it for 3 days this past October. Talk about letting the holy spirit guide you...I REALLY had to lean on Jesus to resist temptation and make it through!
Já fiz jejum por duas vezes o dia todo, foi no templo, orando e adorando, tive uma experiência muito sensacional com o Espírito Santo
I love how you and Joe are raising your childern, putting God first and all the childern are very respectful of each other Im glad that you two are showing people , what the Joy of the Lord looks like God bless you and your family and May he continue to grow your channel even more,this is the seasoning for people to here and know that God is real, Im so glad that God has given your family this platform to win soles for salvation, I will alway tell people to watch your channel it so inspiring
I totally agree. Great parents
My daughter introduced me to your channel when she was 16 years old, she’s 20 now and in college. I just want to say, your whole family is such a blessing to others. Keep this going. It was good to see you all do the fasting, because we do the same thing and I don’t know of many other families that do. So your Family put a big smile on my face to see that your older girls tried it with the Adults. I pray all the blessings continue to flow for your family. Be blessed! We were also playing that game along with your video too, lol. And surprisingly, we knew quite a few of them. ☺️ Hilarious fun!
Amen 🙏🏾
❤❤❤❤ love this video
A family that learns to pray together will always stay together. May the Lord keep you all together in unity and love and may his love continually flow in your home.
This is such a good biblical discipline for the children. You both are teaching them well 💜🙏🏾
So true that you can see what your “go to” is when you’re hurting, bored, etc. Definitely important to emphasize praying during a fast.
I love how she showed her older daughters to fast and the babies didn’t fast since they’re not ready yet. The way she explained it was beautiful! God bless ❤️
I totally agree.
each child has something unique about them, i looooove azaio's voice!!! she has a beautiful, calming, sweet tone.
I was not hungry, until now. There are so many things to love about what you guys have just shown us. The fasting, the praying, the oneness with the family, the noise of the children. Put some cranberry on the turkey and it will taste just fine. To the oldest daughter, I just love you. You are beautiful inside and out. You are a good role model for the younger kids. Mama is always louder than the kids, she is so animated. Joe is always so quiet so it is a good blend. Blessings on this family! Oh!! break a fast softly else you run the risk of getting stomach pains. A hot broth would have been nice then wait a little bit to get your stomach adjusted to eating again.
It’s nice that as a Christain you are teaching your kids how to fast in their young age bringing them up in it amazing ❤️❤️❤️
God will surely reward you for raising Godly children whom he has blessed you with
Love your family. The children seem to love being involved in preparing meals. Just Beautiful
Great parenting💙💙💙
You have beautiful gifted, smart children. Let the Hoy Spirit lead you in guiding your children to the Lord with prayer and the teaching of His word.
Communion is symbolic the grape juice represents the blood of Jesus and the bread without leaven represents Jesus flesh.
This is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen on RUclips! Continue living for Jesus Christ and teaching your wonderful family. Joe and Alena you are a great example in the kingdom of our God!
Mazelees you had a beautiful thanksgiving. I love how each of your children helped prepare the food, even Baby helped with the corn bread stuffing. I felt bad for Joe though. I could see he was disappointed. He really tried hard, stayed up to baste the turkey every 20 mins. He wanted that to be his time to shine. Joe had his time though, he did shine by showing determination, dedication and the desire to please his family thats important.
So we'll articulated. My heart went out to Joe also but you are so right he shined where it was most imprtant.
It’s so cool to see a family fast as a choice to build their spiritual growth as a Muslim where fasting is mandatory. Love your family I wish you the best.
Lord knows I needed this. It was so full of love joy and peace and thanksgiving. I had a rough evening at work so seeing this is refreshing. Thank you heavenly Father in Christ Jesus.
i really appreciate it when alena explains things to her children on camera. i am a new christian. i dont understand many things nor do i understand the bible (yet) which is the book of explainations. whenever she does this im able to understand what is being done and why. next thanksgiving, because of this video, i will fast. thank you
The bible was written with the inspiration of the Holy spirit.Before you start reading the Bible pray and ask the Holy spirit to help you understand while reading it.May the good Lord give you strength while you continue with this beautiful journey of knowing him
Honestly.She is a blessing
Yo, this Christian walk isn’t easy, the devil will attack you, but no matter if you don’t feel God or His angels just know they are ALWAYS with you and won’t leave you. Pray to God when you wake up and when you go to bed. Read the Bible too, because God has done so many awesome things :D AND HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH SISTER IN CHRIST :D
As you are a new Christian, I want to encourage you to 🙏🏽 please read your Bible well. (audio bible is a good supplement too.) Read, read, read and know it for yourself, so no one can deceive you, and so you can detect when someone is trying to twist scripture. Because there are many wolves in sheep's clothing out here these days. This family is nice, and it's great that they desire getting closer to God, but even they are deceived on some things because, sadly, they had a false teacher/prophet come into their home some weeks ago. So they are not the ones to depend on for spiritual guidance. We all should be like the Bereans (acts 17:11) who were considered more noble because they didn't just listen, but also searched the scriptures to see if what they were being told is actually true.
The above commenter gave great advice, to ask the Lord to give you understanding of what you read. Jesus said the Holy Spirit will lead is into all truth, and he will. Ask God to give you his discernment as well. May God bless you and continue to keep and protect you as you grow closer to Him.
Also please see Brother John Elving and Revealing Truth to see what ministries to avoid. They call out false teachings and give scripture to explain why the teachings are wrong. Note, I may not necessarily agree with every single thing they say in regards to their personal opinions, but overall they do great in warning about who/what's not right. It should help a lot to know what to avoid since you are new. God bless
I would highly encourage you to read Elyse Fitzpatrick's book, Finding the Love of Jesus: Genesis to Revelation. It is a beautiful book, about how everything in the Bible is about Christ and points to him in some way. It also explains how not to read the Bible, lest we become disappointed or frustrated with it's contents. I'm an "older believer", having been saved for the past 20 years and it was still insightful for me! I'm 29. Cannot recommend this book enough. Also anything by Jen Wilkin and Jackie Hill Perry are great 👍🏾
I love this family, I love the fact that God is with you and is guiding you through life, such an inspiration to a single Ugandan young woman looking forward to a wonderful family of my own and life with each memmber of that family of God and by God!
I'm a Muslim so I fast a whole month in Ramadan no food no water the first day it's a bit hard but when you continue it gets better and better fasting is great for your health that's the reason God told us to fast really proud of your whole family and how you raise your kids in spiritual journey
Asalmalikum am a muslim too I fast during ramandan then sometimes monday ad Thursday, if I need something from Almighty Allah I do fast too.may Almighty Allah continue to bless you all and d maleez families
You should watch there video of being filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus is the way 💕
As a Christian I have a genuine question...how do you not drink water for an entire month? I know that it's possible cause Jesus went 40 days without food and water, but like how do you do it?
I wanna go on a fast and I need some tips😅
Whoever has Azaio's name for mystery presents should get her some sketchbooks and drawing essentials. She's an awesome artist.
She really is.
Im a muslim n fasting during ramadhan (no food&drinks during day time)..its hard for 1st to 3rd (esp for kiddos) but once ur body can adapt to it..there will b no prob at all until the end of the day u will feel sad to leave ramadhan..so many gud things happen to ur body when fasting..gud job mazelee!
MAZELEEEEEE AMAZING!!! THIS WAS THE BEST EXPLANATION OF FASTING, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BODY AND THE SPIRIT, HOW PRAYER AND READING GOD'S WORD IS THE SPIRIT'S FOOD AND AWAKENING MY SPIRIT TO TAKEOVER MY BODY (the flesh)...SIMPLE YET BEYOND PROFOUND, IT WENT STRAIGHT TO MY HEART. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT BEAUTIFUL TEACHING♥️ LOVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!
I enjoy your family togetherness and experiencing the joy of the Lord and how you are explaining the accepting of the Holy Spirit in there lives as ey grow. Arazo is so sweet she is finding her own space in this family. Joe keep practicing you will get the turkey cooking right.
That's great you Guys. Well fine Alena and Joe 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 beautiful Training for the kids. I am inspired
Love this Worshipping the Lord through Fasting and Praying for a Day what a blessing.
This is my time to shine🤣🤣
Poor Joe, love the dedication
Great example for your kids growing up Spiritually. Amen... God bless your family always.
I appreciate this video very much, because I decided to fast for the next 7 days from tomorrow and God knew I needed some inspiration; I've been in the flesh a lot lately. Thanks Alena. Thanks for always shining your light❤️
I feel you Julian. This was heaven sent. I’m with you on this we’ll make it through and end 2021 with a Bhang!!
South out to you Mazelee family!! This is so handy!!!
You go girl. ‘You’re boring with car reviews but not in the bedroom’. That’s priceless. You’re such a cool couple.
This was legitimately delightful to watch. Well done, Mazelee!
I love the unity and togetherness in the fasting, praying, cooking etc and keeping God in the midst of you all. May He continue to bless you abundantly, in Jesus's name Amen
Although I am a Christian, I was previously married to a devout Muslim and learned to fast during Ramadan as did my daughter when she was age 11, very valuable practice for spiritual clarity.
I love how y'all gets all the kids involved in preparation
I love how encouraging mom is when cooking with the kids🥰🥰🥰.
I’m Muslim and we fast from sunrise to sunset everyday for 30 days and we can’t eat anything or drink anything even water and it’s something good for your body to detox. And during the time we fast we mostly focus on praying and reading the holy Quran and we feed our spirits with giving the poor and helping others.
This is such a beautiful video. I just love Alana, Joe, the children and the rest of your extended family. You all are so grounded in unity, your love for each other and your love of God. I also wanted to say my heart goes out to Joe who wanted the turkey to be such a success and unfortunately it wasn't. Joe just know there is always next year. No doubt you will have a better outcome.
I love everything about this vlog! The way that she explained fasting to her daughter actually helped me figure out how to plainly explain it to my kids.
That is so beautiful teaching your kids the Word of GOD, and also fast, our Prayer group run a Fast for one whole month, and the kids joined in.... I so loved it.... continue to do it. LORD bless your family ❤️❤️❤️
I fasted years ago, and my sense of sight became super by the third day. I remember putting my head on top of a colorful mat on the table. When I opened my eye closest to the table, I was seeing a world magnified. As I walked (in my mind’s eye) around this colorful world, I encountered a big boulder in front of me. I then opened both eyes, lifted my head off the table, and realized that what I was seeing was the colorful mat at ground-level perspective. I took a magnifying glass and found the ‘boulder” (it was a piece of sugar). I guess my eyesight over-compensated for the lack of tasting food.
🤣😂🤣
😆🤣😂
I love y’all’s channel! This is just so beautiful. A beautiful family living for God! Y’all have made my night. I can’t wait for our family to be able to do this with our children when they are older.
Man what a beautiful family in and out! You guys are doing a great job bringing up your children especially given the times we live in right now… May all of you stay blessed and safe as the year is ending and may the new year bring you peace, prosperity, health and spiritual growth! Much love from Canada Montréal! 🙏🏾🙌🏾💯☺️
Really I see the hand of God in this family whoever agrees with me, May God bless you too.
Love your family, teaching children what we believed at their age is good for later life. I did fasting 2 to 3 days per week and whenever I do, I felt more alert and focus, not to mentioned that I had more time to do other stuff when don't have to prepare food or having meal.
I’m new to this channel and this video was such a delight. Joe & Aleena, I love how you’re raising up your children in the way that they should go so that they don’t depart from it. Aleena I also loved how you explained fasting to your beautiful daughter in the car & how all the kids lended a helping hand in preparation for thanksgiving.😃 God bless you all in the mighty name of Jesus🙏🏽🤗❤️
God continue to bless this Beautiful family!! 🙏
OMG....how I enjoyed this video. I was ready for bed but hadn't visited your channel for awhile. This just gives me the warm and fuzzies. Keep on sharing God's love and blessings. You're doing a wonderful job raising children in a society where Christ is not front and center. Your family's blessed and will be for generations to come. Happy New Year.
As a Muslim is was very informative and interesting on how other regions fast and the spiritual meaning behind it. Lovely family ♥️
I just love the wonderful way you teach and inspire your kids. They are so blessed to have such wonderful parents. Your friend speaks the truth about fasting others shouldn't be able to see your fasting it's between that person and God. I see that you guys surround yourselves around spiritual people and thats a Wonderful Blessing. I enjoy your content Mazelee Family keep doing what you do letting God continue to guide you and your family God Bless you all😇💕
God bless you for inspiring and teaching your children the things of God in such a relatable way. May God continue to lead you as you train your children in the way they should go. You are blessed🙏🏾
Alena & Joe, I hope you see this. I've been cooking my turkeys every year in "turkey bags" and they cook usually in under 3 hours no basting or anything like that you just season it up really good put it in the bag stick it in the fridge for at least 24 hours I do about 3 days and I actually cook mine the night before thanksgiving so I get it out the way and every year my turkeys are juicy, beautiful and most importantly bomb!! please look up cooking turkey in turkey bags. be blessed family.
As someone who was taught the importance of fasting at an early age of eight, I find what you are doing awesome. Fasting really helps our spiritual life and our intimacy with God. Keep it up. Children must be taught these things to help them in their christian lives. I love your family
This family is awesome! I have been watching this family for so long. Unity is everything! Excellent to see and watch. Such great parents and family!
What a way to bring up your children in the knowledge and fear of God. They will never forget this. God continue to bless you Alena and Joe for your great parenting❤️
Oh my! This is my 1st visit to your channel. For some reason it was recommended & I clicked bc you advertised a family fast. Where have you been all of my life. Thank you for sharing your BEAUTIFUL & BLESSED family with the world. Blessings from New England.🎀
Love the way you teach your children the ways of the LORD. Thank you. This is the way my parents taught me... and man it has been the only way I have made it through the serious devastating challengers of life. Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much! Great Parents
That was so cute. The entire family is gorgeous. I hope she keeps this blog until BABY goes to college🙏🏽
That would be amazing.
Happy Holidays Mazelee Family!! Thank you Alena for being such a great Wife, Mother, Sister and Friend! Your family is such a Bright Light! I am so Proud of you, it's like we're Family. Well we are because I Love the Lord as well and I know one day we'll meet in Heaven!! I Love you all🔥🙏🏾🥰🌻
Thanks guys for putting out such inspiring content..You preach the good news in a very great way.
I was beautifully reminded to give God praise this season.
Joe and Elena keep shining the light.
I’ve been watching you guys on and off for years and ended up binge watching all the videos I hadn’t seen this past week. Let me just say it couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. From the fasting to the versus the girls have in the video it was just what I needed to hear!!! Thank you 🥰🥰
Also I’m really curious to know if you guys will be doing the Daniel Fast come the new year.
Your family is really so inspiring, we’ll done to the girls for sticking with the fast. Joe and Alena are exemplary parents, y’all have built such a beautiful family 🥺🧡
It's so good to teach yo children fasting and telling them how to talk to God .
Good question. I would be super nervous to do this. It takes confidence as a parent.
I like the fact you do one one one with your kids. As a big family they need that to make them feel important and not so overwhelmed with all the kids all the time. I love it. The way you teach and the patience you have is amazing. She is so adorable and she is loving that one on one time. You go girlie with your amazing parenting and I love the way you make them help.
I enjoyed this video so so much!🤗😍 Thanks for sharing your beautiful family with us. There are so many good examples in this video that will inspire parents with ideas for involving their children in every day activities. This will help children to be rounded individuals. I love how Maz and Joe explained things to the children. Every activity that is done with a child is an opportunity for them to learn. You guys executed that to the max! The children were all involved in meal preparation for Thanksgiving. God bless your family.🙏🏽❤
Dear Alana, I have commented on your posts before as Andrea in PA. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I think you are an amazing mother. For the extent at which you are pouring into these children, you are really amazing. For your standards, inclusiveness and sincerity toward your parent role, you are equipping these children for anything life can through at them. Congratulations to both you and your husband, and your extended family for your caring and stewardship of these young lives, and your own. God bless you all.
What's crazy I just fasted for a day as well, then I see this.... when I was younger(I sound old, I'm 19) I used to often hop onto a fast my parents were on and eventually I cultivated my own desire to do it myself. I will continue to grow in it as well, all to Know Him more🙌❤
Hands down the best vid ever! It’s balance for me!!!🥺 Faith, Family, Fun!!!!! Been born again for 12 years but I learned so much from this video! God bless you, Alena and Joe!!! Much love from West Africa 🇬🇭
I luv u guys u make my day luv 💓 how u

I love the fact that they do everything together especially the thanksgiving cooking
I love the way you speak about the Lord, bless you and your family 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
I think I'll watch your videos more often than usual. I'm amazed at how serious you are about your Christian faith and how you show it to the world. As a teenager and a Christian, I really love this
i loved this video you really teaching your kids about fasting and prayer you are explaining the reasons of why its important to sacrifice what our bodies wants. Keep it up i vote for this video
loved the communion part!!!
I really enjoyed watching this video! I’m not super religious but I cried when the girls started reading their passages from the Bible. And the game made me lol! I knew some of them. But the food looked so good! I love the togetherness of your family! Happy Holidays and thanks for sharing!
Wow ajoui really lives up to her name, her liveliness and constant smiling always brings me joy☺️
She is adorable. They all are. Ajoui has changed my surprised and stunned lingo. Her, "What the heck!" is now contagious in my household. haha
Alena, wow! You & Joe are people of God who teach your children the Word and Way of Christ. You have no idea how super, fantastic, wonderful marvelous, extraordinary & consistent parents you both are. You & Joe are quite patient and concise. I only hope the world is listening and watching your videos. Your childrens are so precious & TRULY Blessed. From a retired elementary public school teacher. Praise God.
I truly enjoy watching this family. I love what you teach and instill in your children.
I love this family. Isaiah 58 guides on how fasting should be done. God bless. ❤️ From Kenya.
Glory be to God. I love seeing your family praying, fasting and humbling themselves before the Lord. Thank you, thank you 🙏🏿
I grow up fasting my whole life most beneficial thing to take with in life.
again I love what you teaching your children really raising good humans in society we truly do need parents like you!!!
I tried fasting from the TV or phone too. Cos food fasting has different challenges. Like health issues means taking tablets and you cant do it on a empty stomach. Or overnight fasting and prayers at church. I did not think l could do it but we did manage it. It's good to do something for God and others. Its definitely challenging. But helps us spiritually. I enjoyed this video. Joe tried with that Turkey. When l was part of feeding the homeless l realised the value of a home cooked meal. We only fed them once a week. But it was a tremendous opportunity to help others and hear their stories. Iife has ups and downs how you handle it matters.
You are such a great mother and joe is a great Father as to how you are good examples to your children Happy past thanksgivings
For some strange reason, I enjoyed the vlog more today. I was all up in your game trying to guess and play along as if I was there too. Joe, I knew that Turkey was going to be dry. You were so attentive. I will give you credit for that. Arazo you are unique and don't you ever forget it. Love the message and the togetherness of the family. Blessings
