I laughed so hard at “I’m in debt” 😂😂😂
Yes, that was so cute in one way and very grownup in another. You can tell at her age already debt and it's hold on you was taught to her. The earlier the better. Very smart young lady, very wise parents. 😊
This needs to go to Dave Ramsey :-).
My children opened their gifts on Christmas Eve because Christmas is Jesus birthday. It was so special!!! And still is!
I love the kids reactions. Audrey's reactions towards her gifts. Her maturity , yet her sweet little girl spirit. Eve's reactions towards hers and Garrets excitement. I love their sweet spirits. Thank you for sharing your Christmas.
Yes looove Eveso humble.
My Grandmother celebrated her 101 first Christmas
That is amazing!!! Praise the LORD!!!!
Praise God... & PRAYERS of good health throughout this next year... That us Fantastic... GBY ALL ❤💙❤🤗🙏🎁☃️🎄
What wonderful memories she must have! Said a prayer 🙏 for her birthday.
@@trishawymore9060 I was thinking of the same thing. What sweet memories she may have. I would love to hear all the stores she has to share. Merry belated Christmas. Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.
paula shepherd that’s wonderful!!! 💜🎉
The stockings were put out Christmas eve and we would put the stockings next to ea childs bed. They were allowed to open stockings when they woke up. Kids were not allowed to wake us up until 7 am. We handed presents one at a time to our 3 kids. They r all grown up now. Great memories
I lost my mom to lung cancer on December 30, 2009. The holidays can be super hard. So I enjoy watching others be happy. I love to give during the holidays. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
Said a prayer 🙏 for you!
@@trishawymore9060 , me too....we can all use prayers. The more prayers the better.✝️🙏✝️
Audrey is at that age where she is hard to buy for, you did a good job. Not spoiled, just loved.
After losing my twin brother (we were born on Christmas Eve), then losing my parents, it has been a LOT of years of Christmas grief. This year, both of my children, and my husband were here on Christmas Eve, and Christmas day. This has been the best holiday I have had since 2001. No crying, no dwelling on the empty chairs, just the joy of Christmas together.
Christmas is a hard time for me. My husband passed away 5 years ago around this time and this year I lost my mom. So I am left alone and dealing with PTSD. I enjoy watching your videos. They bring me some joy in my life
So sorry for your losses and the stress and pain it brings. May God comfort you and bring you peace and new hope and joy. So glad you are a part of this channel. ❤🌷❤🌷
Thinking of you Mary and praying for God's blessings and peace for you, especially at this time 🙏
Hi Mary. So sorry for your loss. I lost my husband 5 years ago December 7 to cancer and my mother is 88 years old with heart failure. And YES PTSD is very real related to the loss of loved ones which seems to go unnoticed by others. I sincerely wish I could give you helpful advice but I'm still fighting my way out of this dark place. I will pray for you and trust in God to restore peace and happiness in your life. Take care God loves you. 💞
I'm sorry for your loss. It must be a very painful time for you. I struggled with the loss of a husband in a different way. He left me and his child about 5 years ago. Anyway, I hope and pray the Lord will give you the strength you need and the feeling that you are loved and not alone.
Said a prayer for you 🙏
Thank you Jessica for taking a moment to understand. My mom passed last year unexpectedly on the 23rd of December. Christmas was her favorite because she was always so generous. This Christmas was hard, but not as much as last year's and I hope we can continue on this path back to happiness and celebration. She would want us to do so. With love and gratitude. ❤️
Gah. Your video brought me to tears, you remind me so much of my mom. She passed 3 years ago to mouth cancer, and seeing you and your family just brings back childhood memories. I can almost feel my mom through some of your videos, and I know she would have loved your channel. Thank you for sharing your family moments and helping me remember the good times in my childhood!!! I love you all and hope you had a merry christmas and have a happy new year❤
My heart goes out to you. May God give you the strength to get through those moments when you miss your mom the most.
God Bless You!
Thank you for reminding me how important family and friends memories are because nineteen years ago on Christmas I lost my mother. When she passed away and thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing me what my beautiful name means to your family and being able to see my name all over your house.
Since losing my sister 2 years ago I have give through a lot of struggles. I've been living in my car for the last 3 months due to high rent. I did not get to spend Christmas with my grandkids this year and it really got me down. But watching your videos the past 2 weeks has made me forget my trials and tribulations. Your words really hit me and made me realize that I have more than a lot of other people out there who are struggling. Thank you for the encouraging words ❤️❤️. And I know God has a plan for me it's just all in his time. Stay blessed 🙏😇
Listening to children’s excited comments and seeing their faces as they open their presents is the real magic of Christmas. Thanks for sharing the joy in your family
My Dad, who was my most special person, passed away 12/2. His birthday was 12/6 and Christmas Eve and Christmas where his favorite holidays. He always made the holiday special for me. This year I didn’t want to celebrate but I have 2 younger kids. So I pulled it together for them. Thank you for acknowledging how loss can affect your Christmas spirit.
I have you in my prayer book, so everytime I pray, I pray for you as well
Hugs Victoria... I believe the stars in the sky are OUR Loved ones looking down on us... Go outside & talk to him...
I truly believe they can hear us...
GBY & your Family ALWAYS ❤💙💖🙏🎁☃️🎄
She'd a tear and said a prayer 🙏 for you. 💓
May God ease the pain of your loss and give you the strength to get through those hard moments.
Hugs
Our family does one person, one present at a time. I love the true appreciation that all of your kids expressed over each of their gifts.
Thanks, Somers family for sharing and caring . ALL OF VOLMAS WAS SPECIAL . NUFF MORE BLESSINGS , Jackie.
My dad passed away 8 years ago, on December 1st. The holidays always remind me of him, and my ex fiancé who lost her life as well 2 years ago. But I am blessed to be breathing so I try my best to do nothing but be grateful 🤍 Merry Christmas happy peoples 🎄
I absolutely love Audreys reactions to her gifts! Such grown up girlie gifts! The debit card, wallet, purse, bath bombs, makeup, flat iron & pearls! Such excitement of her face! Having girls is a blast! Mine are 15 & 18. They grow so fast.
And Garrett! Were some of those original GI Joes? How amazing!
“I’m in debt!” Lol! I love that she thought that when she saw visa....you are raising them right! Merry Christmas!
Best parts of the video “This is going to break my brother’s heart”, “Oh My Goodness!” Elbows!”. I hope you and your wonderful family had a very Merry Christmas :).
“I’m in debt!”
You guys must be Dave Ramsey fans, too! 😂😂😂😂
That was so funny...she's in debt. Ha
That is what the stores want for your life.
Smiles on the kids faces make it all worthwhile

9:07 "Elbow!" 😂👌
Of all the things ! What a hoot ! :)
Thank you! Bit of a rainbow Christmas. Injured at work as a Ranger and it looks like I won't recover enough to get my job back. Staying positive and hoping I can use this challenge to jump into a new season of my life that will be even more blessings. Would love prayers for healing and direction for the future.
Trisha Wymore you’ve got our prayers! Trust in Jesus and His Word. He will save you and keep you if you believe, repent of sins, trust in Christ completely! Love from Kentucky 🙏🏻♥️🤍♥️
My father passed away on 12/14. I wasn't in the right head space to decorate. I finally pulled it together for my grandkids. The day was awesome. I am glad I didnt miss it
Praying for you. May the Lord Jesus Christ in all His glory come into your heart and comfort you and give you peace and salvation.🙏🏻🤍♥️🤍
It's been a challenging year for my husband and I in a lot of ways, we know God will never give us more than we can handle, but there were more than a few times this year when we wondered what direction God was taking us. Prayers for your family and channel in the new year and decade.
I never really share how a feel around this time of year. But I just started watching you guys towards the end of this year. I’m 21 years old and I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety since I was 12 after my father passed away. I went through so much in treatment treatment and so many mental hospitals from 13-15 I was finally able to control my thoughts then my mother passed away in the same month of my father did. I was 17. Thank god I had met the love of my life though we’ve been together for 6 years now. But of course around Halloween and the rest of the year I really have a hard time because me and my mom loved the holidays. You guys have kept the hope and joy in it this year, as well help me try to get back on a track with the lord. I love you guys so much and thank you!!!!!!
I have you in my prayers
Thank you 🥰🥰
Praying for you to feel better and that this next year will bring joy and peace to your life. I am so sorry for all you've been through. Those are huge losses at any age, but especially at the ages you were when you lost each parent. I am so glad you have someone special in your life. May God bring many blessings to you in the coming year!
The Lord is the only way to peace, joy and comfort in this world. Yield to Him and He will save your soul and you can trust Him completely! Praying for you 🙏🏻♥️🤍♥️
Such great reactions. When my son was about Garretts age, we went to church as normal on Christmas morning. Kids stood up saying what they had received. Kids had new bikes, x boxes, phones. His turn came and his best present was the 3 rolls of cellophane he got. He's now 17 and has progressed to gaffer tape xx
First Christmas without my dad. I pray also for other's during this time and all times. God bless. ❤️❤️❤️
The best part about this? Garrett asked for something no kid wants. So clever and cute. 😂🎄
I cannot pick just one vlogmas day that was better than the others. Each one had a special meaning to me, and each one lifted my spirit. Thank you for your moment of sharing that the holiday season is a struggle for some of us. Knowing that I had Somers In Alaska to watch during the first 3 weeks of December did give me comfort. I was able to reminiscence with a smile and maybe a tear or two, but it was just what I needed. Thank you for all your hard work, thank you for having such bright, beautiful, and caring kiddos, thank you for being a family that remembers the reason for Christmas, and shares the love of Jesus in everything that you do. I thank God above for Somers In Alaska, you are all a great light on days that aren't that bright. ~Love & Peace~God Bless Somers In Alaska~
Your kids have an abundance of personality that makes me smile. Christmases were all different; I can't remember one specific tradition.
Thank you friends! I for sure need the love and prayers.
Happy New Year!
I loved when you guys visited and brought joy to the older people.
Thanks for sharing your Christmas with me. Love you all. Merry Christmas!!!❣️
I wrap each of my grandchildren’s gifts in their own wrapping paper (that makes it easy to find their gifts). This year I put numbers on the tags, as I drew numbers, they would open that numbered gift. It was a fun .
So glad you all enjoyed Christmas. We had our Christmas Day on the 26th December last year and this year, as our daughter works at a care home, so we have made that our new tradition for the time being. We treat the 25th as our Christmas Eve, getting food cooked and presents under the tree. December is an extremely hard month, as my dad died suddenly and his anniversary is the 3rd and my mum passed away from Breast cancer and her anniversary is on the 30th. There is only myself, hubby, son and daughter now, I miss the big family christmases so much, but I am also so very thankful that I have my small family to enjoy life with. Wishing every one a peaceful, happy and healthy 2020. Xxx
In our family we give each person their presents in a pile and then we start with the youngest who opens one gift. Then the next person opens one, and it goes around the room until a new round starts. That way each person can show every one what they got and express their thanks. It takes longer to open all the gifts but we dont have to wonder what each person got and we can clean up paper and ribbons as we go to keep the house clean.
You know you’re an extra grateful kind of kid when you cheer for socks
I just came across your channel and had to tell you what a beautiful family you have! It was a rough few months for my family, my husband had a heart attack in November and after having heart surgery I am so thankful to God that he is here with us in good health. Unfortunately a month later, right before Christmas his father had died, so as you can imagine, Christmas was kind of a blur this year. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your beautiful Christmas with your beautiful family, it really put a smile on my face. I look forward to watching your videos. Hope you a wonderful and happy new year.
Merry Christmas Somers family. It’s so much fun watching the kids open their gifts! As we get older, it is so easy to forget that excitement we had as children. Thank you for sharing with us!
Awe thank you!! Yes I was alone for Christmas. Just me and my Dog.. Very sad day for me. Every holiday is like this... I love watching you and your family because its what I used to do with my kids before parental alienation stole and brainwashed my kids. Its hard to just breath sometimes! But God bless you and your family!! ox
Susan Czajka bless you and may the Lord Jesus save you, heal your pain, and comfort you. Believe in Him, and His Word,repent of your sins, eternal life can be your future...praying for you 🙏🏻♥️🤍♥️
“I’m in debt!” 🤣 So cute!
😂😂😂😂😂
Merry Christmas to you all!!! So sweet! Loved watching your happy family open their gifts and see the joy on the kids’ faces, what a privilege to watch! Growing up as an only child In a small family with a birthday on December 23rd, everything was done in 48 hours! Lol! I love my Birthday this time of year but now as an adult, I love celebrating Jesus’ Birthday even more! I had the best Birthday and Christmas this year in years and I’m truly so thankful and humbled! My family traditions growing up were stockings then gifts, we would open our gifts one at a time (just 3 of us, small but quaint and fun!) and take turns. It was fabulous! This year, My family and I enjoyed our best Christmas in years!! it’s been a rough year with many health struggles, a hospital stay for me, my upcoming major surgery next month, and 2 deaths in our family the last 2 months so we made it a point to go all out-being happy and celebrating as much as we could! which we haven’t done in years! Decorating, gifts, Christmas Brunch, etc!!! We did it all! It was so much fun and such a joyful, relaxing day! We’ve had very lean Christmases in the past so we didn’t feel bad about doing this one up completely! But we know that’s not the case for everyone so we made sure to give as much as we could, too. Donating to charities and doing things for our closest friends and donating through our church as well. I absolutely loved giving!!! It was absolutely incredible ! And I loved receiving some lovely and useful. Sophisticated gifts as well (gifts are different at 36 and I love that!). I love spoiling others and being spoiled. This time of year is the perfect time to do that! All your Vlogmas posts have been wonderful and such a delight to watch and I truly appreciate your hard work. Please enjoy your break! You definitely need and deserve it. Merry Christmas Sommers Family, enjoy!! All the best for the new year! 🤗🎄🙏🏻
😀💖👍 AWESOME,,my favorite was the pets,,alot time people forgot about pets,,not this year because of Christmas Kindness I saw so many more people thinking about their fur babies so Wonderful ❤️💙💜💙💚💛💝 Shelters got donations,,,What a Wonderful time of year💝💛💚💙💜💖Best Wishes to Somers family 💖 @ to Everyone @ fur babies 💜
When I was a youngster, we would eat breakfast 1st, then we sat in front of the tree, then 1 person each year was appointed to pass gifts out to 1 person at a time. That person opens up gift then the next person got a gift, and so on, then stockings were last ... In my household now with grandson living with us, we still appoint 1 person to pass out ALL gifts to everyone. Each person opens gifts at their pace within 15 minutes (depending on many each 1 has). Sdtockings were 1st b4 gifts. Then we all help children open packages to play with toys, etc. Then we have a few hours of playtime among the family. Then women in the kitchen preparing holiday meal.
We pass out everyone’s gifts and then open them one at a time. We have so many handmade gifts, the giver really wants to see the reactions. For the kids we also code their gifts so they dont know who they are for! This year our 4 kids all had states written on their gift. In their stocking was a code to figure out their starting state and then all their gifts were states that touch each other on a map. They loved it. Last year we did articles of clothing, and the secret was that each kid fit a category like hats, pants, coats and we used creative names for those items like cap, beanie, fedora. They LOVE the anticipation of guessing the code and each year we have to step it up a notch now that they are almost all teenagers.
Merry Christmas to you all! I just love your videos! Most of my family has passed away and I usually have a quiet Christmas. Watching all your festivities just brings a big smile to my face and a warmness to my heart. Thank you so much for letting the world share in your lives, and for spreading so much fellowship and wisdom to all your viewers. Wishing all the best coming your way for 2020!!
I just can't...I adore their gratitude. Such beautiful kiddos.
And omg, Audrey is getting so big. Makeup?? Amazing! Love her heart.
Also, hoping the changes don't affect you. I've lost a couple of vloggers, sadly. :(
Just found out channel but I already love your family. U are wonderful parents , showing your children it's so fun 2 give . Great children come from great parents.
Stockings first, then presents one at a time, so we could see what everyone received. With our grandchildren things changed one year for us. Our daughter’s mother-in-law said she was talking to a friend about Christmas and what they did. Her friend said they gave each child 3 gifts each since that what baby Jesus received from the 3 Wise Men. That made an impression on me and that’s what we began to do. Thank you for sharing you Christmas with us. Happy New Year! 😃
On Christmas Day, trad in my husbands family (since his childhood) to gather the presents to and from each other into a huge box. After a traditional Christmas Dinner, it's time for the grand opening ceremony. Children excited! Whoever picks a present out of the box reads the gift tag, passes it to that person, then after the person has opened their gift and given thanks, it's their turn to pick a present out of the box and so on.
Thank you Somers family for sharing your story!! You are such a blessing to so many! We have enjoyed all the vlogmas videos, and are inspired to to better people to each other all year long. You all are a true example of what the love of Jesus looks like! Happy NEW YEAR HAPPY PEOPLES!!! WE LOVE YOU TOO!!!
I don't remember Christmas when my parents were together. They separated when I was in the 3rd grade. I only remember the last Christmas I had with my mom before she passed away in 03. I barely remember Christmas after that with my dad's family. My mom past when I was 17. Now that I'm an adult iam spending Christmas with my mom's Aunt and her two grown kids and their families. So they would be my great Aunt and 2nd and 3rd cousins that I spend Christmas with. Merry belated Christmas Somers family and Happy People. Happy New years to everyone as well. God bless. Hope y'all have a wonderful and blessed week and weekend. Sending love and hugs from the central coast of Cali.
Was nothing big for me but it was lonely. I've spent now 3 christmases without someone special beside me. I really truly hope that 2020 brings me all the joy I deserve and lord willing someone to spend my life with. To cherish and love and enjoy holidays with. Just hits me in the feels a bit being a lone this time of year. Your family tho has brought me much joy. Thank you for sharing this with us. 💓💖💕💖💓💖 I'd welcome any prayers if you choose 😄
They are so big!!! 😃🙏☀🌺many blessings!! Most beutyful and noble kids!!! Amaizing Parents🙏🌟👏👏👏👫
Each family member has their own wrapping paper (I stock up from last year sales) and each person gets to unwrap a present one at a time. Teach them to appreciate each gift and they get to see what others got
Thank you for sharing your Christmas with us. In our family we start with the youngest and open one present at a time. There are only three of us now. We just take our time, listen to christmas music, and drink hot cocoa and we don't worry about time. It's very fun and relaxing. Then we take naps and play with our new things and call long distance family members, watch Christmas movies... it's really wonderful! 💜
For opening gifts my parents only leave the presents that deliver Santa for the morning and later on in the day we will yo to my grandparents houses and open more presents there so that way we didn't have all at once
I have to say thank you so much for letting me live vicariously through y’all for the Christmas holidays! This has been such a difficult year to get through and your family’s infectious happiness keeps me going! My favorite vlog was the cross over videos meeting up with your friends from Anchorage and your sister. I love the Santa Claus House and the flying Reindeer academy! Now on my bucket list to see 🥰 💕
Love these kids! They are grateful! Good little Christians
Dang! I came in during the grocery haul vids.... now I’m here on Christmas... never would have thought!!!
Merry Christmas all you happy people!
The Brandt home visit really stood out. It was really great to see this family get to move into their home. I wish them the best in the new year.
But the random acts of Christmas kindness really was a great idea that we should make a part of every Christmas.
Thank you for sharing your Christmas with us!
When we woke up in the morning, "santa" would leave one gift on our bed in the morning. We would open that one up and then wake up the parents and run out to the tree. We had a large pile and tore through everything. haha My parents blessed us with a lot on Christmas. They still do!!
Thank you Somers family for doing this. Ive had the most difficult and sad holiday of my entire 35 years but every night I had you 5 to watch and I could escape for 20 minutes. This video was especally nice seeing the kiddos joy made me smile when I really didn't think I could. You may be an average family in Alaska but u bring me joy and a feeling like I'm part of your family so I hope the new changes don't effect you.
To answer your questions I was an only child so Christmas was kinda just a frenzy like Bert's. However when my step family got into the mix we would pass a gift to each person and then open them one person at a time and show the gift to the group. It made it last longer and feel more like a group.
The parts I like most about your videos is the Alaska specific topics,the family gatherings/outings and just a general vlog on your day to day.
Again thank you for taking the time to make these videos and especially vlogmas, I got to feel that little Christmas sparkle this year because of you all.
Love and God Bless,

It was a free for all at my in-laws! I didn’t know who gave who what. So we did like you, let the kids hand them out, the oldest to youngest, or vise versa, one at a time. We actually got to watch the kids open their gifts! It was wonderful!!
I love how appreciative the kids are!!
“It has be a marrrrvelous dayyyy, right everybodyyyy...?” 😂😂 SO FUNNY!
I so enjoyed watching your kids open their presents. You could see they really loved everything!! I just love you all so much 💕💕🎄
In our home the first thing they kids do on Christmas is santas gift ( not wrapped) then once they play with them for awhile they open stockings. After we eat Breakfast then open the rest of the gifts. This year we didnt get to Breakfast till 9am and the kids were up at 7am. We didnt finished opening gifts till close to noon. We do Christmas dinner on Christmas day so that always follows. Its a whole day affair and I love it!
THANK YOU Somers family!
Stockings..Breakfast as a family around the table..We make sure everyone has one and we all open while watching, saying thank you and giving a hug to every gave it to us... then maybe do another round and then we leave the rest and go help make supper and get all that sorted and then go back and do another round etc, then usually family will comeover and we do another round or two and then we have supper, do the rest of the gifts and then play a different family board game or card game or something. but we try to spread the gift opening out over the entire day of christmas
We always go to my parents on Christmas morning so it is my my four kids my sister and her husband and my brother and his wife. Someone will play Santa and pass the presents out one at a time and that person will open it so everyone can see than someone else will open a present that is repeated until all presents have been opened. This is how we have always done it since we where little kids. Hope you had a great Christmas.
We do Christmas eve dinner of the seven fishes we go over my cousins house and joke around and have fun as a family and then we unwrap gifts and celebrate my sisters dec 19,my cousins birthday dec 25 . And on Christmas we go to my sisters and eat and enjoy spending time together then on the 26th we go to my cousins house for a cousins day and just eat and enjoy being with family . We love spending time together we got closer because i went through stage 3 colon cancer for 7yrs and still going through tons of medical issues I just deal with them but watching ur channel brings me so much happiness so ty for making my days better love you so much biggg warm hugs from Philadelphia Pennsylvania
I’m dying here! GI Joe and elbows for the win! 😂😂😂. And Evelyn is growing up.... makeup! I love to see how much they appreciate it all. Our traditions with our kids were jammies on the Eve. It helped take the edge off before Christmas morning. But we also did the pile deal and opened up one at a time. Now we FaceTime our kids with their kiddos! Just like you did. This brought me joy! Bless you guys! Love from FLA! 💕🙋♀️🌴
We celebrate on christmas eve in Sweden, santa will arrive with presents in his sack and knock on the door. Then he will stay and read us the rhymes and give out the packages. When all packages are delivered he will leave again and maybe have some rice porridge and milk that we left for him on the door step. How packages are opened varies form year to year, sometimes we jusrt gather everything santa hands out and sometimes we just open, depends on how many we are. This year we just opened because there were 22 people there so opening one at a time would have taken ages...
Dad's face and reaction to the makeup! Priceless! Think of all the "fun" to come when the teen years hit! 😂
Made me cry watching u open that plane that is epic bud!!!!!!!! Not one kid has one of those to open this year so special 💕💓🎄💕🎁 way to go dad. And the entire Christmas was just beautiful love you guys !
Merry Christmas Somers Family. Thank you for sharing with us and for inspiring so many! My family take turns opening gifts...so I would pass out the gifts that I bought for everyone and watch them open the gifts. Then my Dad would pass out his gifts and so on! It has taught me the value of appreciating the joy of giving! Thank you again and Happy New Year from Barrie, Ontario, Canada!
For opening presents. One big present first thing. A few more before lunch - waiting until the next day to finish opening all of them.
The reactions to the children opening their presenta were brilliant! Happy Christmas everyone! Hope you had a fantastic time. Thank you Jessica for your words for everyone at Christmas, beautiful.
Favourite vlog - Got to be the Mochalicious coffee hut - however so difficult to just choose one
We are learning to do new traditions with our kids. We lost my dad 6 years ago and my mom 3 years ago. I had my moment and cried. But my kids had a good Christmas this year.
Merry Christmas from Alabama, where its almost 70 degrees. I love your videos and how you keep Jesus as the center of your life. Happy New Year. I love watching your adorable children. They make my heart smile.
I enjoyed watching the kids open their Christmas presents! This Christmas is very sad for me as I recently lost my Emotional Support pup, Baldwin. He was a mini dachshund and such a wonderful support to me. I had him for 10 years. My daughter has set up a Go Fund Me account so I can get another Emotional Support Dog. It is under "A New Emotional Support Dog for Cindy". Thank you for your continuing Vlogs. They are a bright spot in my day.
It looks like you guys had a wonderful Christmas Day. I loved watching the kids open there gifts, you could see how much they truly loved everything. You guys are such a special family and I love watching how you are raising such amazing young adults. Keep doing what you are doing and teaching your little ones how to love and respect everyone. God bless your family and wishing you a great New Year!!!! Sending you lots of love from Oregon....
I Have a great neice that is less than a month old that is in a children's hospital. But praise God she is getting better. Just ask that you put Kenley Rose in your prayers. Thank you. For Blessing us with sharing your life. 💖

Oh man I'm so happy kids still play with gi Joe's, I can't wait for my nephew to reach the age where he's excited for them.
You’re right Christmas time can be sad. My dad died on December 23 in the evening. His uncle died four hours later which was actually the 24th. This was in 1984. You never forget, but it gets better. God was merciful that night as it was the best thing for both of them. Vlogmas flew by this year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Love y’all
Ty fir the message you put out to people struggling at this time. Really means a lot
I am so thankful to see you are all well and enjoying the season. I know last year was harder on you but it just proves that God can get us through our struggles- the toughest of them. Have a blessed new year and we will look forward to watching you in 2020.
The pile system, taking turns is the best system! I have 19 yr old twins and an 11 yr old and that’s how we still do it!! Merry Christmas!!
Christmas was pretty good this year. Past years have been depressing, so I understand why it can be lonely for people. I find the time between Christmas and New Years much harder. Everyone is talking about all the things they did in the year and it's hard not to compare and feel like a failure. Happy New Years to you guys. So glad I found your channel last year.
As me and my siblings grew up we hade the pile system, one of is was giving out one, that one who received it open it, and next so on. That made the others was able to see the presents. I really hope to make this able if I ever gets a family for of my own. 💓
Thank you so much for sharing your life with me my children are grown up now but we still have the Joy of having our grand weans for Christmas now my granddaughters cook and serve Christmas dinner for all ten of us at my house. The house looks like a bomb site but we are all happy in each other’s company we think of the ones that are no longer around and it makes us sad we have had many happy Christmases together. Have a happy New Year next week I look forward to seeing you all again in 2020 love and blessings from Bonnie Scotland 🏴

Merry Christmas!!! I love nerds candy too, usually only have it a few times a year though lol! My sister got me a baseball cap with a nerd on it for Christmas! My family hands one out at a time per person, I like it as I feel like the experience lasts longer 😊 being 39, 40 in eight days, I have come to really enjoy the littles excitement! 💜. “Grownups can play with this too!” I love it!!! 😂. Super awesome the old school G I Joe toy!!!! What great gifts you all got!!! The calligraphy set!!! Nerf guns!!! Haha haha Bert...your reactions to make up are the best!!! 🤣. Thank you for sharing you day and life with all of us, I am truly grateful for your vlogs, you all have no idea what a positive impact you have had on all your viewers...thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! The holidays can be tough...I am sending love to everyone... 💜💜💜💜. Cannot wait for the next launch!!! Got my brick red hoodie and I LOVE it and want a few more!!! I’ll post a pic on instagram soon 😊💜. This season really has flown by fast!! I loved all the vlogmas videos!!! I have to say I love animal shelter donation and visiting the nursing home acts of kindness were my fav, made me cry lol
I loved the whole month of the kindness acts. You are the best family on you tube for me. So glad you all had a great Christmas!
one year I made a master list for all the presents (with a number and who it belonged to) so no one could shake the present early and guess what it was. Unfortunately I accidentally left the master list at home!! It ended up being one of the funniest Christmas'es we ever had trying to get each person their presents lol!!! That was long ago. This last few years has been really lonely with my parents gone and everyone else moved away now and I spent some time being sad. Watching the happiness you guys share really made my holiday because I see the look on Jessica's face as she watches to see if the kids liked what they bought...I remember those times.
My first son was born on December 24, 1967 he has passed, now for 2years thinking of him and 6 months later his sister passed she was born October 6 1970, also lost my son Ben he was born February 27,1979 he died of brain cancer at 31 years, I still have 4 children left witch I am very grateful for. 💝🙋🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲 I luv your happy family 😘
The holidays are always the hardest to get thru when you have lost a loved one. I can't imagine the pain of losing a child let alone more than one. That's heartbreaking! I wish I could say something that would help take some of the pain away even if it was only for a few minutes but there are no words.
I hope you have or can find some peace.
Happy New Year to you and your family 🥂🎆🎇
