[@Inna.C]

“Asian dont raisin”

[@zoepay9671]

You can’t tell me this family isn’t the most beautiful and talented family in the world!

[@jeannelle_]

I’m jealous of Xyla coz she gets to listen to beautiful voices all day everyday 😭 I wouldn’t even need to tell my google to play Spotify coz I’d have my personal singers at home 😭😍😍 just love this fam!!!!

[@Darleeng]

I’m bawling my eyes out over Xyla singing and doing the choreo to Carissa’s song 🥺💜

[@veronicasalazar1879]

Yess she si sooo cutee

[@chloeezzle]

Their singing voices are literal puzzle pieces that found their way to each other❤️🧩🎶 meant to be together ugh BEAUTIFUL

[@sakura600]

Lol don’t me, just crying over Carissa’s speech to Michael. But also OMG! You actually read my comment about Thriller! Thank you! I’m glad that Thriller has a new loving family! And that you’re able to see him when you can

[@jessrobertson5063]

Sameeeee

[@aldareia]

ME TOO 😭😭😭

[@carinaneves8340]

Glad you made that question; I had questioned myself too about Thriller; I thought he might be gone, but so glad he's not, and that everyone is happy! 😄😄

[@Elle-savedandloved]

Xyla ignoring her parents killed me 😂 she was not interested 😂😂😂

[@thisisjamm5037]

Xyla's "Oh, I'm ready to watch it" is soooo cuuteeee

[@jamodcfan8064]

Xyla: Mama's young! Love it!

[@yeenben]

Other babies: pEpPPA pIG Xyla: Watching her mommy music video

[@CarolDonatoOficial]

I cried when Carissa thanked Micael!! They’re couple goals

[@jiannarae28]

Frrr

[@bryna8719]

6:54 I just started to cry Happy Tears. 🥺 Beautiful words, Carissa. ❤️

[@brendaalvarez1922]

Okay but I love the way the sun shines through their house, it gives off such an ethereal vibe✨✨✨

[@watermelonqueen1755]

Carissa thanking her hubby felt so special❤️ Great song momma!!

[@ilovecheesecakee]

The constant singing and love in this household makes me so happy

[@psycheukuandmore]

6:56 i literally cried... I watch you both since then... Im so happy seeing you guys like this🥺

[@stephlaude1247]

Been listening to Carissa's new single since it came out. At first I thought that's a perfect love song for your significant other, but after watching this vlog, it made me realize that the song can be interpreted in so many ways, that it could also be about spending more time with your loved ones or family or even with yourself (#selflove), and them being there for you no matter what 💖

[@rebelmikee]

I feel like Xyla is extremely smart and curious in her learning, when I grew up I had flash cards as well but apparently I didn’t like them as much. Does she have like a schedule or is it more just giving her free options and letting her curiosity enlighten her?

[@ASliceOfPakwan]

( 13:40 ) Michael: Do we need more practice? or is that good? Xyla: **uses pen to activate ~boing~ sound effect** Michael: Did you need more time? Did we make the cut? Xyla: .**ignores her dad** Michael: Are you interested? Xyla: **plays with toy** Michael: Did you like it? Did you not like it? Carissa: That's alright babe. **grabs Michael's arm** Let's just go. This scene had me LAUGHING xD The fact that we can see their shadows makes this even FUNNIER! Happy Belated Birthday Carissa!

[@ustheduo]

hahahahhahahahahah

[@emelycastro8347]

I DIED HAHAHAAH

[@heychrizzy]

Carissa telling those words of thanks to her husband just made me cry!! :3 LOVE LOVE LOVE these two!!

[@clairegranich9143]

Michael: "Okay Xyla, point this at the subject you want to take a picture of!" Xyla: *turns the camera and instantly goes for selfie mode* CHEESE! She is so darn CUTE!!!!

[@lacymaddox9681]

"Momma's young" whaaat she's so smart!!!! Love this family to pieces 😭❤😭❤

[@Brooque613]

The verbalized encouragement and affirmations are seriously the sweetest. You are such an amazing unit and the love you share with your daughter is so beautiful. ❤️ I've always wanted a house filled with music and joy, so it's awesome to see people living that way and thriving. Your daughter at age 2 has a more diverse taste in music than I do today at 32. 😂

[@eeshai.2809]

I really hope Us The Duo gets to see this comment because I really want to pour my heart out here after watching a bunch of their videos. So I and my significant other like to watch your videos together and today we did a video call to watch your latest vlog. But before we started, he saw your proposal video in the recommendations, something we'd somehow never seen before. So that's how we went on the spree of important moments from your lifetime: your proposal, both wedding videos, and your story video. And I cannot express enough to you just how much these videos touched both of our hearts. We both are around the same age as when you guys got married. And just seeing it happen for you made us so emotional and happy. Because gosh, we see how much you love each other and we relate to it so much. And I sincerely hope we can have those beautiful moments together like you guys do. He's just like Michael: he's so supportive and loving and caring. I am so lucky to have him. And just like Carissa, something I love is contemporary dance so when I saw your latest video, gosh I was just in AWE! It just reminded me of MY love for dancing and I really want to start again. So just thank you, for existing. In your video of your story, you said you make your videos and music with the hope that someone out there can connect; that they might even feel the way you do. Well, honestly, he and I do. And I'm just so grateful for your music, for you two and baby Xyla, because you make us happy and remind us of love and we just want to appreciate each other even more. Much love to you ♥ xoxo

Happy Birthday Carissa! God TheUstheDuo Fam!😊

Happy Birthday Carissa! Beautiful video, beautiful you, beautiful family, beautiful couple, beautiful Xyla.

Live, laugh, love and celebrate every day. Blessings to you all!
