I'm rewatching the Cihristmas videos and this one had me so emotional when Andrea opened the copper mugs from Tom and said I'm happy with just this gift. She was the most caring, sweetest, loving wife and mother who was taken way too soon. Andrea, you are greatly missed! ❤❤

I've only just stumbled across your vlogs and just wanted to say how refreshing it is to see a large family which hasn't compromised quality of life. It is expensive to raise one child well yet you do it with 8 and if I'm not wrong would welcome even more. Also, Judah's expression whenever he opens a gift is I'm sure one almost every parent would want to see during these happy family moments.

I had never knew that you could have thunder, lightning, and a snowstorm at the same time. I was in my early twenties and I had a lot more to learn.
