Wait a second, as a type it occurs to me- maybe a few frames were missing? I don't know how else you could have pulled that off without some editing magic- either way- you sure are good!

    You could have Jacob and the other kids design and 3D print decorative covers that snap onto the shelf brackets. Solves the office furniture vibe and it's a fun/instructive project! You could even make seasonal ones if you want to go all out.

  • @PurdueAlum01
    @PurdueAlum01 2 года назад

    As important as a daily advent calendar seems to be, we ALWAYS end up missing days and catching up, sometimes 4 days! That's just part of how advent calendars work lol, even the simple tiny chocolate ones. I guess one benefit to opening several days at once is when you might get something like a piece of hot wheel track (not today) or a waffle slime mix-in...bonus second day gets u an extra goody.
    Love the shelves. Even with basic brackets it's just so nice to see no more spackle patches after all those years! Congrats!

    Hello sweet Ballenger family, I absolutely love your beautiful interior to Vlogmas, Christmas jammies, smiling kids, what better way to get in the mood.
    Absolutely loved seeing her wound up in the excited Luke was at advent time. Oh my goodness he is such a sweet little charmer and he seems to be doing so incredible these days. You made Bailey’s recipe for her chicken, cauliflower sound incredibly delicious. Is there any chance I could get you guys to post that or send it to me? I would certainly absolutely love to sample it. I live for myself these days. I love seeing your kids on a regular basis... they are all growing, developing & changing at such a rate that if you blink you may well miss out. Sweet little Teddy is a great example of that. Seems he was just born yet look at him! Still definitely mini Duncan for sure, just darker hair. My grandson was well amazed at your magic tricks.looking forward to next vlog, until then... stay healthy, happy and have fun with the family preparing more for Christmas.
    P.S I just remembered ow you use pictures of the family as your gift tags. I’m going to try that for this year since I’m not home & forgot to buy some. ! ❤️🙏🥰🎄
