He was probably wondering what to do since he couldn't call her lol Back in the day we just yelled, "Mom," until the right one popped up. Or we got smart and started calling them by their first names😂
My boyfriend and I studied abroad together and visited over 15 cities. We got an ornament from each one, in addition to everywhere else we’ve been. Now our tree is full of places we’ve been and when we decorate we are reminded of all sorts of memories, which reminds me of your touring tree idea!
The way I’ve consistently seen every single one of Colleen’s videos is astonishing. She’s honestly the only RUclipsr I would genuinely get upset over if she quit RUclips. I hope she never does because watching Flynn grow up was so cool, I can’t wait to see the twins grow up.
I actually could not be more thankful for Colleen’s vlog today. I’ve had one of the hardest days all year, and I’ve decided to take a bath to try and relax and I open RUclips and see the beautiful, happy, loving family. I’m so so so grateful, today most of all. Thank you 🫶🏽
Colleen! When you watch the twins birth, you should also watch their separate coming home videos. They are so precious and will cheer you up from the trauma!
The amount this woman has helped me as a teenager is unbelievable. Every panic attack she was there (through a screen) but still there. I don’t know how I would have survived without her. I love you Colleen THANK YOU!!!❤
It quite literally makes me tear up seeing the twins growing to be so big and strong. Remembering when they were smaller than Eric’s hands and in the nicu, not sure what the future held. Now they’re talkative and interacting with the world. It brings so much beauty to life. So much love, Colleen. ❤ Merry Christmas
Hi Colleen! I’m one of 3 kids too and just wanted to share that my family had such a fun tradition for picking out Christmas trees. Each year we would rotate whose “turn” it was to pick it out. Everyone would still go together and we could all still give opinions but only one of us had the final say. It made us feel so special but also was a creative way to keep the arguing down 😂 We carried the tradition well into adulthood!
Hey Colleen, thank you so much for helping me visualize what Flynn and your kids got for the advent calendars. Not a lot of people know that I’m visually impaired person so that does help a lot thank you
Oh my goodness hearing Maisy and Wesley say "wow" melts my heart, big time when Wesley kept saying it over and over, and hearing Maisy say her name is so cute, Flynn smelling every tree made me laugh
love seeing Maisy getting excited over the windmills🥰she even seems to be waving her arms in a circular motion! also Wesley repeatedly saying "wow" made me giggle😊
Flynn asking Wesley why he’s saying wow killed me 😂 I was starting to type how cute and random him yelling wow is. And maisy saying her name??? Come on😍 and Flynn’s posing and smiling so cute and goofy? I had a rough symptomatic day and these things made me laugh and smile
"Where's Mommy? I got her phone" was so sweet. Also, I'm so used to Flynn calling you mama. I think that's the first time I've heard him call you mommy. Adorable. 💕
Watching this vlog put tears in my eyes. I was thinking to last year where I was when I found out the twins were coming home. With Wesley I was at a friends house and straight up said “omg hold up I’m sorry but I NEED to watch this” and watched the vlog holding back tears. Then with Maisy I had suspicions she was coming home and I was on a train with my grandparents and brother when I saw the notification of her coming home. I was so excited, I’m not sure if I watched it on the train or when I got back but I once again had to hold back tears of joy. They have grown so much and I’m so proud of them and seeing them hit mile stones gives me so much joy. Love you all
I swear I hear Maisy say "whoa what is that!?!" in all of her excitment at 9:49ish. All 3 kids are the cutest, Colleen I love your videos. They bring me tremendous joy, I am so grateful, thank you for sharing your life with us. ❤
My mom and I were laughing at how cute and funny maisy and wes were!!! Her little windmill dance and wes’s WOWW at the Christmas Tree!!! So so freaking cute. Warms my heart.
these vlogs have helped me so much. i'll be having a really hard day where i'm feeling really alone, and then i turn on a vlog and i feel like i'm part of a family.
Love how you tell Flynn that he's so smart because he found the 6 in 16! No need to tell him that he's wrong, he found a 6! Love love love it! Also love the perspective of kids, they are so open minded. You ask for a 6, you get a 6... Wish adults thought this way! Good job mama! 💗
I'm at the end of my every day parenting. It's so beautiful to see you at the beginning. Im so excited for all the things you have ahead of you. It's one hell of a ride! ❤️
Look how well those babies are doing. Well done to you and Eric and everyone involved in helping with the babies care. You are very blessed to have so much support ❤
Getting Flynn to pick the the tree I couldn’t help but think of when he would say “I pickle this one” like last year and how big and strong the babies have gotten. It’s wild how time flies and how strong and great your family is
Does Maisy not like hats on her head? I know she doesnt like the feeling of certain things, but i kept thinking everyone got a little hat on and Maisy's head is open i hope she isnt cold 😭
Please please don't give away a baby's clothes as a "gift"! Your viewers should be fans of YOURS. Nobody should be a "fan" of a baby and nobody of a right mind would want that as a "gift". Please don't do that. Instead just match or partially match the donations raised!
Gosh, this vlog had me running to watch Maisy's coming home video and I bawled all over again. They are both just so big and I love seeing them thrive 🥰
I love following along on all ur family traditions and see you start new ones, it makes me excited to one day have a family of my own like urs and be the best mom possible!
Wesley repeating "WOW" over and over again was everything. It reminded me of my first Christmas tree with my children. My son kept picking the ball ornaments off the tree like they were apples. We never did recover all the ornament toppers. :)
Hi Colleen, I remember watching your vlogs this time last year, I remember crying with you and celebrating with you in all of the highs and lows of your twins nicu stay. I just wanted to say that it brings me so much joy to watch your newest videos and to see you and your family thriving and getting to really enjoy the holiday season this year. I wish you all the best in the year to come, and a Merry Christmas. ❤
You can’t be serious with giving away Maisy’s dress for a charity bid.. there are some really awful creeps out there who would thrive off of this and it’s disgusting. I’m shocked you wouldn’t think about that as you seem to be so concerned with people knowing where you live. I’d be more worried about weirdos on the internet obsessing over my children.
Love watching how much fun you and Eric have with your kids🥰you guys are making great memories! Love all the Christmas decorations so pretty!! I have to say the twins are doing great at talking and expressing their emotions, I’ve worked in childcare for over 10 years,, with infants to one year and I only have had a few that do that well at one! I’m sure it’s because you guys are so good with them expressing your feelings and teaching them so much! 🙏🏻❤️great job!!
Maisey's tiny lil "wow" at the windmills compared to her body reactions-soooo excited! Dang Colleen and Erik, yall are so preciously blessed. We weren't able to have kids, so we have furry kids and lots of "nieces and nephews" but not one of our own. I know it is such a lot of hard work (parenthood), but I'm so glad you try not to miss to the joyful moments, no matter how stinkin busy and exhausted you are. 💜 Yall are doing a lovely job happy holidays 😊
Loved the homey tree with the special sentimental ornaments. Clear-to-visit NICU pass…as Wesley would say, “Wow!” You’ve come a long way in a year. So happy for you and your precious family. (Loved Maisy’s joy at seeing windmills!)
I love a beautiful themed Christmas tree like, at the mall or an outdoor shopping situation, but I want novelty ornaments that mean something on MY tree. My tree has soooo many random ornaments on it and there’s a story for all of them. That’s what makes my heart all warm and sparkly.
I love Kory adding voice to Maisy's thoughts he's so on point with her expressions
Mum maw, is perfection lol
Yes! His voiceovers are my favorite!
he used to do it with flynn when he was little it is the cutest!
Love it lol
“Bexcuse me?!” 😂
Kory voicing Maisy’s “thoughts” cracks me up every time 😂
right!!
Same😂
Yessss😂😂
I think he used to that with Flynn when he was a baby but it was with captions.
Same
Wesley saying “wow” in that monotone voice had me dying!! And Maisy saying her name made me so happy and proud. They’re getting so big!
Find you someone who is as excited to see you as Maisy is when she sees a windmill.
Or someone who reacts to you walking in a room the same way Mr. Wes reacted to the lights
day-nuh pretty sure you misunderstood her comment..
@@day-nuh9773 lol what? That's not at all what was said.
Maisy fangirling over the windmills is the cutest thing ever. 😭❤️
Flynn running around smelling every single tree is so funny to me. He’s the cutest!!
Flynn going "Where's Mommy?" all concerned because he had her phone was SO damn sweet! His little voice!
He was probably wondering what to do since he couldn't call her lol Back in the day we just yelled, "Mom," until the right one popped up. Or we got smart and started calling them by their first names😂
Kory asking Flynn if he reads Japanese. 😂😂😂 And Flynn not skipping a beat and saying no.
My boyfriend and I studied abroad together and visited over 15 cities. We got an ornament from each one, in addition to everywhere else we’ve been. Now our tree is full of places we’ve been and when we decorate we are reminded of all sorts of memories, which reminds me of your touring tree idea!
My family is big in to traveling and so are me and my husband and our trees are full of all kinds of stuff we’ve collected over time 🥰
The way I’ve consistently seen every single one of Colleen’s videos is astonishing. She’s honestly the only RUclipsr I would genuinely get upset over if she quit RUclips. I hope she never does because watching Flynn grow up was so cool, I can’t wait to see the twins grow up.

The star just sagging off the top of the Christmas tree is everything
Getting to see the Ballinger/Stocklin family so happy and celebrating Colleen’s favorite holiday makes me smile after a long hard day, how cute 😭🎄
2:25 moose said "thats cool and all, but have you seen my toy?!" 🥺🤣
I love how thoughtful Flynn is. He plays well with his siblings. Also, picking out a tree for KOKO.
Aww Moose bringing his toy over and joining! So cute!!
Colleen! When you watch the twins birth, you should also watch their separate coming home videos. They are so precious and will cheer you up from the trauma!
The amount this woman has helped me as a teenager is unbelievable. Every panic attack she was there (through a screen) but still there. I don’t know how I would have survived without her. I love you Colleen THANK YOU!!!❤
I relate so much she is amazing and I’m so thankful for her
Relatable ❤️
It quite literally makes me tear up seeing the twins growing to be so big and strong. Remembering when they were smaller than Eric’s hands and in the nicu, not sure what the future held. Now they’re talkative and interacting with the world. It brings so much beauty to life. So much love, Colleen. ❤ Merry Christmas
Flynn coming out of the corn maze and saying " Where's mommy? I got her phone" almost made me cry! he's so sweet!
Hi Colleen! I’m one of 3 kids too and just wanted to share that my family had such a fun tradition for picking out Christmas trees. Each year we would rotate whose “turn” it was to pick it out.

Hey Colleen, thank you so much for helping me visualize what Flynn and your kids got for the advent calendars. Not a lot of people know that I’m visually impaired person so that does help a lot thank you
Eric: ITS CRYSTAL MATH!!!
Colleen: Love…
😂
It’s meth but it’s probably a good thing you don’t know 😂
I love Colleen in an “out of this world dad” crop top. 😂
Your breakfast nook is UNREAL!! I’d literally sit there and sip tea all day. Lol. Your yard is gorgeous!
Oh my goodness hearing Maisy and Wesley say "wow" melts my heart, big time when Wesley kept saying it over and over, and hearing Maisy say her name is so cute, Flynn smelling every tree made me laugh
Seeing how much Flynn makes the twins laugh is the sweetest thing I've ever seen 🥺
Maisy’s reaction to windmills is my reaction every time Colleen posts a new video 😂❤
Wesleys “wow” was adorable🥺🤣
Maisy just cracking up 😂 at Flynn so cute 🥰
love seeing Maisy getting excited over the windmills🥰she even seems to be waving her arms in a circular motion! also Wesley repeatedly saying "wow" made me giggle😊
Did anyone else notice at 2:25 Moose walking up w his toy to sit w everyone during advent time 😭😭 SO CUTE.
Don't give away your baby's dress that she's worn to strangers on the internet!! omg no!! Colleen there are so many creeps on the internet!
Flynn asking Wesley why he’s saying wow killed me 😂 I was starting to type how cute and random him yelling wow is. And maisy saying her name??? Come on😍 and Flynn’s posing and smiling so cute and goofy? I had a rough symptomatic day and these things made me laugh and smile
Wesley’s “whoa” is my mood for the remains of the year 😂
I love Korey commentating as Maisy lol it's priceless. She's a sassy lady!
Erik hugs by wrapping his arms as far around the person as possible.
Me over here with emotional detachment hugging everyone like Miranda.
"Where's Mommy? I got her phone" was so sweet. Also, I'm so used to Flynn calling you mama. I think that's the first time I've heard him call you mommy. Adorable. 💕
Just to hear these kids laughing and Wesley and Maisie saying wow just warms my heart God bless you all! ❤️
Watching this vlog put tears in my eyes. I was thinking to last year where I was when I found out the twins were coming home.

Wesley saying Wow over and over again was so adorable.
My mom and I were laughing at how cute and funny maisy and wes were!!! Her little windmill dance and wes’s WOWW at the Christmas Tree!!! So so freaking cute. Warms my heart.
I love how not one creator read the back of the TikTok calendar saying don’t open all at once on camera and spoil the surprises 😂
When Kory asked Flynn if he spoke Japanese, I was waiting for Flynn to say yes! 😂😂
these vlogs have helped me so much. i'll be having a really hard day where i'm feeling really alone, and then i turn on a vlog and i feel like i'm part of a family.
Love how you tell Flynn that he's so smart because he found the 6 in 16! No need to tell him that he's wrong, he found a 6! Love love love it! Also love the perspective of kids, they are so open minded. You ask for a 6, you get a 6... Wish adults thought this way! Good job mama! 💗
I love how concerned Flynn is that he needs to find his mommy and he has her phone
Please be joking about giving her clothes away at the fundraiser....
I loved how Flynn picked the trees! Watching all your kids is such joy!!
Maisy is a sustainable energy loving queen
I love seeing this, look how far the twins have come from last year! The joy is in the air, the fear is no more! ❤️
😭
Oh you know Colleen will be buying three trees when the twins have opinions 😂
Kory's voiceovers on the kids' thoughts ALWAYS cracking me up :D gotta love Kory!!!
The twins are the cutest things ever
With Wes saying WOW now I can't wait to see his face on Christmas day when he sees all the sparkling and wonderful presents the tree ❤️
I'm at the end of my every day parenting. It's so beautiful to see you at the beginning. Im so excited for all the things you have ahead of you. It's one hell of a ride! ❤️
Look how well those babies are doing. Well done to you and Eric and everyone involved in helping with the babies care. You are very blessed to have so much support ❤
Getting Flynn to pick the the tree I couldn’t help but think of when he would say “I pickle this one” like last year and how big and strong the babies have gotten. It’s wild how time flies and how strong and great your family is
Does Maisy not like hats on her head? I know she doesnt like the feeling of certain things, but i kept thinking everyone got a little hat on and Maisy's head is open i hope she isnt cold 😭
Maisy maybe had sensory processing sensitivity. She probably didn’t like the feeling of the hat.
"I got her phooooone!!"
That was really cute.
Flynn looking for a Christmas tree is so cute he was so excited , I love the energy that comes of him. I just Ardmore him ❤❤
Their picture in the thumbnail looks like those picture perfect families you would see on TV! They're so adorable!! 🥰💕🎄
1 minute, I finished watching Rachel’s vlog and then now colleens vlog. Perfect timing ❤
Please please don't give away a baby's clothes as a "gift"! Your viewers should be fans of YOURS. Nobody should be a "fan" of a baby and nobody of a right mind would want that as a "gift". Please don't do that.

Gosh, this vlog had me running to watch Maisy's coming home video and I bawled all over again. They are both just so big and I love seeing them thrive 🥰
It seems like Flynn gets whatever he wants when he wants.
Maisy and Wesley's little "wows" are so cute haha
Wesley’s continuous amazement of the Christmas decor is amazing 😂💖💖
Maisy losing her mind over the windmills is the cutest thing ever!!
I was literally expecting Flynn to start singing the corn song when he said "I mean look at..." @ 3:05 😂
I love following along on all ur family traditions and see you start new ones, it makes me excited to one day have a family of my own like urs and be the best mom possible!
ERIK SAYING THE SAND IS CRYSTAL METH IS SENDING ME HES SO FUNNYYY
Im so happy to see u have the life u wanted with kids and erik colleen u deserve it x
Wesley repeating "WOW" over and over again was everything. It reminded me of my first Christmas tree with my children. My son kept picking the ball ornaments off the tree like they were apples. We never did recover all the ornament toppers. :)

Looking forward to Sunday! As always, thank you Colleen, Kory, and the whole Ballinger-Stocklin family for bringing happiness to so many people!
The babies talking!!!! Flynn running to trees to smell them and jumping for joy!!!!!

I’m shocked you wouldn’t think about that as you seem to be so concerned with people knowing where you live. I’d be more worried about weirdos on the internet obsessing over my children.
Wesley made me literally laugh out loud with the 30 "wows" in a row! So darn cute!
Love watching how much fun you and Eric have with your kids🥰you guys are making great memories! Love all the Christmas decorations so pretty!! I have to say the twins are doing great at talking and expressing their emotions, I’ve worked in childcare for over 10 years,, with infants to one year and I only have had a few that do that well at one!

You should definitely get Maisy some pinwheels for Christmas! This would be the perfect gift since it's essentially a mini version of the windmills :)
Such a beautiful family. You guys are my source of inspiration and love during these difficult times. I never miss a vlog.
Maisy seeing a windmill is all I needed today
Moose in the background of advent was so adorable 😭❤️
Advent calendar overload!
Over-consuming will not help the future of your children or the planet!
Loved the homey tree with the special sentimental ornaments. Clear-to-visit NICU pass…as Wesley would say, “Wow!” You’ve come a long way in a year. So happy for you and your precious family. (Loved Maisy’s joy at seeing windmills!)
"You have a flashlight."🤣🤣🤣 10:27
I'm obsessed with Kory doing voice overs for Maisy! Legendary!
I love a beautiful themed Christmas tree like, at the mall or an outdoor shopping situation, but I want novelty ornaments that mean something on MY tree. My tree has soooo many random ornaments on it and there’s a story for all of them. That’s what makes my heart all warm and sparkly.
omg, Erik and the breaking bad comment made me spit out my tea lmao
Yes! A Christmas tree should be filled with generations of ornaments, home made store bought, first Christmases . But the bougie tree is gorgeous.
Flynn “ where’s mommy.. I got her phone”😂😭
eric going ‘ITS CRYSTAL METH 😄😍’ IS SO FUNNY I ACTUALLY CANT
1:52
Coming home from work and watching your videos is my favourite thing to do everyday! ❤❤
If it's cold enough for the whole family to wear hats, one should be on Maisy. Do you really need to show off the bow that badly?
Bruh
Flynn is giving me Buddy the Elf vibes 🥺 so cute!! ❤️💚
so glad you get the rest of the year to spend at home with your fam! 🫶🏻
Wesley “wowing” the decorations is everything.
