*This is from last week 2/7

[@berniceb2636]

Hi Alicia! You always do good at what you do! I liked how you wrapped the gifts!

[@ChristineThomas-w1c]

You are truly amazing mother I wish I had a mom like you growing up you make them kids so happy God is truly blessing you

[@meganmckissick2281]

Wow! You are the world's fastest wrapper!❤

[@junebuchholtz287]

Thank you!!! Everything was perfect!! ❤

[@alydachick]

The restaurant looks a little bit like a Spoons you can eat all you want kind of buffet, but they bring your meat to you, looks like a lovely meal for a family🎉

Way behind catching up on older vlogs! Alex is such a mature, sweet and genuinely amazing young man!! I love watching your family vlogs and the way he interacts with all the kids is stellar! He is destined for greatness and thank you for giving him such a beautiful 18th birthday! Much love to everyone!

[@MeiZ125]

I’ve never seen so many bitter people in the comments who just can’t be happy for Alex, the kiddo is clearly happy and thankful…smile on his face, excitement explaining what certain gifts are, etc. he’s 18 it’s a big milestone for any teenager so who cares how much money they spent on his gifts? His family clearly loves him and every other kid they have so let him be happy

[@alexandracrowe4740]

How come no thank you? Not one?

[@sharonj7274]

Are you REALLY surprised???? He wasn't surprised with anything he got except maybe the punch bag thing, he just sent links to everything he wanted and she got it all without batting an eye.

[@chelly2517]

You don't see everything that goes on. She doesn't video every second

Happy Birthday Alex! 🎉 Alicia, you know how to make their birthdays so special! & Nana is a gem!! ❤ She's a hoot I bet! 😊❤

[@kelliewilson5980]

I love how much you put into each and every one of your kids, and their needs want, etc. Having struggled with infertility and pregnancy loss, I treasure every moment with my kids and try to make every occasion as special as possible. I enjoy watching your channel and always feel the love you have for your babies. You're a great mom, and you've got some pretty awesome kids!

[@MissyDcherrydaisypie25]

Dear Alex you are never too old for a birthday party . Everyone deserves to be celebrated . Hope you had a fabulous 18th birthday . 🎉😂😂😊

[@DoughertyDozen]

Nana at least talked him into us all going out to eat so I was happy for that!

[@MissyDcherrydaisypie25]

Thanks for putting this up with the restaurant we were considering going there for our anniversary but I am severely allergic to tree nuts .

[@MissyDcherrydaisypie25]

Yeah just because he is an adult now doesn’t mean he has to rush to do all the grown up things . They rush to grow up it seems I’m still not ready to let them go .

[@stallion0975]

Love how sweet Alex and James are to Harley and Bodhi to take the time to patience and kind and make them feel included always it nice to see among i wide age range of siblings

[@meganmckissick2281]

So sweet Alex appreciated Harley's drawing!❤

[@correttaharden3534]

I love how excited he got when he got the socks!

[@bowlerchick2k11]

The smile on his face when they sing happy birthday is priceless!! Hope he had an AMAZING day!!!

[@plusimagestv]

We took my granddaughter to a very similar restaurant for her 21st birthday here in the Chicago land area. It was fantastic. Every meet was more fantastic than the next. It was a wonderful experience. Happy 18th birthday Alex. I know your parents are very proud of you

[@lucindasutt7365]

Wow. What a party HAPPY 18th ALEX🎉🎉🎈🎈. OH my, the Bodster lost a tooth. Amelia so cute in her dress and Bree, your new top is georgous on you. Josh and Alicia the 1st one 18!!! Your family blogs are so different and entertaining and I enjoy them so much. The restaurant was so interesting, and their style seemed to fit a large group well too. Be sure to let us know how the food tasted.😊

[@ChristineThomas-w1c]

It's amazing how you changed Alex's life God is truly blessing you you have wonderful kids and you just want them to have everything your amazing mother

[@JackieO143]

I noticed the same thing. Plus, he says "HUH?" instead of pardon me when he asks someone to repeat themselves. Appalling manners. This lack of class will not help him in the real world. He will always sound unrefined, and uneducated because of these issues. He will be judged and he will lose out on opportunities unless he chooses to only spend time with those raised as he was.

[@exos1bnetworth]

⁠@@JackieO143”pardon me” we aren’t in the 1800’s grow up he is at home not an estate meeting

[@jenko1820]

I bawled my head off when my oldest (my son) turned 18. But they do great things! We have to let them go but they come back 😊 my favorite gift was the Mary Kate & Ashley video- totally something I would have done! I just night my son a Kenny Rogers CASSETTE 😂❤

[@mimiza6691]

Do you save all the birthday gift bags? Creating a birthday stash might a good idea so you can ‘shop’ your own birthday stash especially when you’re spread thin and pressed for time 🧡

[@valtoton2982]

Nana! You SOB ....😜 girl where did you get all of those singles?!? I knew you were a fiesty one. It's amazing how much Nana does for this family! Grandparents are so extremely important!!! There's nothing in the world like the wisdom, love, and guidance of a grandparent!

[@valtoton2982]

Nana & Papa clearly are the only reason that Alicia doesn't need hired help. Everyone who has the support of your grandparents, please don't take it for granted! My grandparents were incredible, I wanted the same for my son. My husband's father passed years before we met. In the three years we lost both of my grandmothers, one who lived with us and my father.

[@beatrizgoncalves5936]

Alex really love is jeep, we see in is face when he talks about him. The boxing ball was a good idea. Mine don't punch the wall because is concrete 😂😂😂.I must buy one for mine. Love is face when you are singing the birthdays to him 😊😊

[@kellyheath7497]

I dont understand why they do all these things without josh being there. That's strange that he never participates in the birthday stuff.

[@chelly2517]

You assume. He doesn't get on videos much. Mind your own household

[@darleneveno9119]

Josh was at the restaurant, he was sitting next to Alicia's father. You could hear him speaking to Dash.

[@kellyheath7497]

@darleneveno9119 I saw him at the restaurant but they had already done birthday gifts and everything prior to him getting home.

[@darleneveno9119]

@@kellyheath7497 he does have a job as well as a coaching position and I believe that she mentioned that Patrick had cross country skiing perhaps he had to be with him. Why go straight to the negative.

[@kellyheath7497]

@darleneveno9119 the point it why does this family bot wait until he can be present as well so that he isn't left out. He is 18 he could wait to get his gifts. They go ahead and do stuff and record it instead of waiting for the father to be available to participate. If the mother was left out all the time, would it be as accepted? He won't ever get these moments back and he is being robbed of them for a yt vlog. Work around dad's schedule too is the point. If he was with Patrick then they would have both missed dinner wouldn't they?

Is Alex going away to college? He seems like he’s doing a lot of updates to his room so I was just wondering, love the birthday videos they’re my favorite.

He is planning on going away to college. We shuffled rooms at the end of the summer and never got around to putting finishing touches on their new areas, so we’ve been trying to do that a bit at a time around here.

Happy birthday Alex. The food looked amazing. Those deserts, omg. 😂

[@jennifertriden4837]

So much tissue paper 🤦🏼‍♀️ You wrap a gift and trim it, use the paper for a gift card, you wrap a present,fold excess in, cut random square off a full sheet.. Cut up a full roll instead of using scrap roll for the ends (which was so much extra) of another pkg.. Woa so much excess on that monitor! 🫣😵‍💫 I gotta stop watching you wrap gifts 😂

[@chelly2517]

Judgemental much. Geez, who tf cares how someone wraps presents. Stop watching her videos

Looks like he had a great day. Can't wait to see what adventures he has

Alicia, I think the boxing ball is cute. He can put it on his new desk. My son's a banker with his own office and I shop just like you do. I don't care what people say. And my son Robby loves stuff I get him like that. He puts it on his desk at work
