Potatoes, Parties, & Packing + Q&A

[@neeshycat4197]

I just want to say thank you for not giving up KZbin. It is so fun and encouraging watching you live your life being guided by the Lord. We don’t care what the content is we are just happy to be along for the ride. ❤

[@skyedoggett5575]

Our kids are in their 30’s now but when they were 3, 5 & 7, God called us from south Florida to Oklahoma City. We packed up a small U Haul trailer and headed here with no place to live, a maybe on a job and having never set foot in this state. God opened all the doors in miracle after miracle! We look back almost 30 years and are still in awe. You we feel the same when you see all He will do in your lives as you step out in faith. Merry Christmas!

[@cjohnson3550]

Excited about your new adventure, and that you will be an hour from family. God bless y'all to have a smooth transition.😇🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@amandaellis5368]

Merry Christmas to you an your family!

[@kateleo21ify]

I love your little family it is so full of love godbless you all in your new venture xxx

[@patriciastarkey4951]

What a wonderful family! Bless you!

[@kayleelingenbrink6729]

I would love a link to where you got your heatless curlers! Do you do your hair with them all the time?

[@lindsaystrawsburg8689]

omg i’d love a hair/makeup tutorial

[@nolviasmith630]

I love this family.

[@ameliaabrams4839]

You should. Call them heavenly potato's since u put the cream cheese white like clouds and extra butter is like gold angel halos

[@ElizasGrammy]

Also... (second comment).... those ends you're cutting off the potatoes are great when you butter a baking sheet, sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese over that, then place the potato ends, cut side down in single layer rolls, then bake at 350 until done. Just sayin'.

[@ritabaker3113]

Merry Christmas blessings dear people

[@dianng9708]

I happy that you moving but will we get to see video of ya'll

[@ritaturner9906]

First time I’ve seen no milk, broth or cream used. ❤

[@connihudson1578]

So, cream cheese instead of milk.

[@annielyst]

I love how you get your kids involved - takes a lot of patience for that. Merry Christmas!

[@jonniricard5383]

That patience today pays and pays and pays as the kids get older!

[@KaranjaAngela]

@@jonniricard5383 please explain further. I have two and I want to involve the olldest, he's 2, as he is quite keen but geez, the mess, the delay makes me it out. Need tips

[@nancyfarkas3592]

Making a mess is how they learn. Make it fun and they will want to help.

[@gloriveegardenjournal5371]

Oh my gracious! Packing right smack in the middle of the Christmas season. Bless your hearts. Always love following along with your family’s journey. As a Floridian, we welcome you!

[@petro0889]

Yes, as a Floridian we greatly welcome them to our great state! God bless you all! ❤

[@jeanpotter2163]

Is Chad going into the ministry? I think he would be wonderful!

[@bethanneg1217]

I packed and moved last year at this time. It was so hard.

[@nancyfarkas3592]

You realize they don’t put these out immediately? They are usually weeks behind.

[@bethanneg1217]

@@nancyfarkas3592 they are moving just a couple days after Christmas. This isn’t that old of a video.

[@omirasantillanes5150]

It's so cute and adorable to see the girls helping Erin with the potatoes and I love your hair by the way.

[@tpenquin.]

The potatoes do look out of this world!! Merry Christmas, Chad and Erin and all your beautiful children! Prayers for a good move!

[@susancumming7099]

I just love how you're teaching your children: they're grounded in their faith, they're surrounded by animals, they are taught responsibility. Plus, and great Adventures using their imaginations. It's just wonderful. I was fortunate to have that too and I can tell you you appreciate it more as you get older. Erin, I love today's hairstyle it reminds me of the 1940s and it looks really good on you. I am can't wait to see your new adventures. Am so happy that you'll have an even bigger farm and home.

[@johnensminger7675]

Aww..so fun to see the kids helping! Such cute little helpers!! Thanks for sharing your life with us!! Happy holidays to you! Hope the move is smooth...looking forward to seeing the new place! Love you all! God Bless you! Prayers lifted! How is the cd coming?

[@jaymielee1110]

Glad to see you guys celebrating with the big family before moving. And can enjoy the snow before moving. God bless. What an awesome season of life that is coming up for your family.

[@elizabethandrus3848]

Erin, I had a hard time focusing on your words because I'm in awe of your little girl diligently peeling potatoes. What a sweetheart! You will be surprised by the years that will quickly pass by in Florida because you will all be so busy making new memories. I wish you a blessed Christmas. Thank you for this past year of inspiring videos. Elizabeth

[@michellemybelle9591]

You'r mom is the cutest! So young looking NO wrinkles!

[@jodifoster1973]

It's so strange to think of you guys not living in Tennessee! I wish you the best of luck in every endeavor. Stay safe ❤️

[@righteousnessofGodinChrist555]

💖💖💖BEAUTIFUL Family!!.....Great celebrating the LORD together. Erin you and Chad are Very Special! and Please give Mama B a surprise Thank You Party for ALL of her help.....she's on every project vlog with her married children helping....She's Amazing!!

[@Sunnydreamer1470]

Thank you for taking the time to make these precious videos. You are inspiring and helping so many to try and be patient and loving parents. Your children would flourish anywhere with that love bestowed on them . 🥰 praying for a smooth move 🙏🏻

[@mariedoremus8440]

Moving is a big job! So glad you had help! 🙏🏻

[@sallysmith155]

Merry Christmas to you all.i really enjoy your vlog and love watching your cooking especially the mashed potato looks so delicious.lovely seeing your family.Hope everyone has a good week.🙏🙏🙏

[@JulieMelberg]

One good idea for free boxes is to go to grocery stores in the produce section. They know to keep back great boxes that are strong for people to take. When you pack, you never have enough! 🙏

[@kakylong2]

Chad & Erin, I feel your pain. I moved from Greeneville, TN, where all my family live, to Indiana & it was so hard. It was the Lord's will, but still so hard to leave family behind. Your family loves to travel so you'll have lots of visitors. 🙂

[@loridill4683]

I'm so glad we still get to see family. Miss Gill, Kelly No and all family.

[@tinefish]

I am convinced things multiply and grow when you move. It never feels like you have much but when it goes in boxes it takes up so much extra space than it did in its original spot. Happy and safe moving.

[@cowtownjanet4450]

I love to watch you and your sweet family. This 73 year old granny misses all of these activities with family. God bless y’all on every inch of your move❣️

[@mokihanabarnes6546]

Merry Christmas Paine and Bates family👏🏾💖🎄🌺

[@TheUgliestKitchen]

Those potatoes look amazing! I’ll have to try them for Christmas dinner 😊

[@leadmetopeacejeanie]

It was so good to see your mom and dad, Erin. It was really like "coming home". They are a precious couple. And welcome to Florida. We love you guys! God bless you! Merry Christmas, Jeanie

[@michelerucker3755]

Merry Christmas! Look forward to your next adventures👵👵❤️

[@kimdrevas4984]

I'm praying for you all that your move goes smoothly (and for your beautiful plants to survive too, Erin)💖

[@elizabethlane4617]

As a Floridian on the West Coast, I am sending you a warm welcome !!! We moved from PA and my plants made it!😊 Hope yours will, too. Blessings on y’all as you celebrate the Savior’s birth, pack and move! ❤Liz in FL ☀️ 🌴

[@a_d018]

“Next, add the butter. It’s really good for your health!” I love that, so funny! Butter makes everything better!

[@jenahoffman2565]

Make sure to check into the agriculture laws for crossing state lines with farm animals. We had a friend move from FL to TN and it was a problem to cross state lines. They had tonturn around and take animals back.

[@jenahoffman2565]

They will pull you over and check your trailer.

[@rebeccabaradas7699]

Thank you so much for the beautiful cards & verse packs! All we’re packed neatly & beautifully! Praying for your packing & transfer needs!

[@marilynfdavis891]

A very busy time for you - packing is very tiring & exhausting!! I hope your parents will be able to visit often with 10 of the grandkids close together! Merry Christmas Blessings! 💜🔔🎄

[@shawnfactor3284]

What a beautiful, wonderful family! We thought of BUB as must see TV, and since it ended we love that you and your siblings continue to share their lives. It’s heartwarming to watch you all continue to grow and prosper…God Bless you all!

[@ElizasGrammy]

@Chad & Erin: Okay, before I even finish watching this, let me stop at your mention of curlers and just say... your hair would look so beautiful, Erin, if you wore it in a 1940s style such as the "roll" or the "pompadour". (You might get an idea of what I mean by looking up, here at YT "Vintage 1940s Hairstyle Tutorials - from Glamourdaze", although I'm sure there are many such videos.) You have such a lovely face, perfect for that vintage style!

[@kathy3178]

I hope you have a Merry Christmas! Your girls are such big helpers. Great to see your parents again. I know everyone will miss you. Have no doubt you will have visitors in Florida.

[@margaretlynch1494]

🙋‍♀️❤🌲 Wow! That's a lot! Congratulations and Merry Christmas!

[@bethwolford3652]

You have such a lovely family. When my children were very young we moved away from family as well, and you’re right children are very resilient! Merry Christmas!

[@lclass003]

Bless you during this season of change. You are in my prayers, it is hard to move, but wonderful things can happen when you open yourself to new experiences!

[@teresaeckert1267]

Love all the Bates family

[@barbseverino1278]

So exciting to see your parents in the video. The potatoes look delicious. Thank you for sharing.

[@colleenhenvit7827]

Merry Christmas!! Praying for you all as you get ready to move. ✨🙏

[@rmendoza994]

Love those pictures and letters the kids have made, I cherish the ones my now grown adults gave me and now the ones my grandbabies are giving me. They're so precious. May the good Lord bless you all and have a Merry Christmas.

[@rachellebrooke4614]

Such a blessing to see your family worship and read Gods word together!

[@viccimauldin9786]

Prayers for continued strength to get the job done and move. Y'all are great!! Erin, I love your clothes. So bright and colorful. ❤

[@angelabrockman7816]

I'm sure those mashed potatoes were seasoned with love! Happy packing and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. ♥

[@conniesargent6734]

I hope that your travels are safe, and everyone's healthy. I hope you enjoy your new home. I wish I knew what church you were going to attend, I would love to have a friend who I could confide in without judgment. I live alone, I've been alone. And I have no one to celebrate any holidays with. So watching your family and your KZbin channels that all of y'all have brings a lot of joy to my life. I miss your TV show. I enjoyed watching it every morning and every Thursday evening here in Florida. Safe travels and best of luck to you and your family.

[@deehz4ever]

Y'all are so cute.....we never know how much stuff we REALLY have till we move. At least your moving to a bigger house.... so excited for y'all to be near the Webers. Can't wait to see the video of moving animals to Florida.

[@marcywhitesell497]

Do u have a video on heatless curl for your hair

[@debbiecrouch709]

It’s exhausting to move even harder when your running a family n work. You always look so pretty Erin and it won’t be long before your situated in your new home. I so wish your family was still on never missed a program but still nice to come along this way.

[@lollycastillo6157]

Love watching you and your family. Love that KZbin gives up an option. Question, what eyeshadow brand are you wearing? Your makeup always looks flawless. Thank you and God bless you.

[@hollymalcom182]

Oh my goodness, those pictures of your kids hugging and kissing their Granny... So sweet and precious, it makes me cry 🥹❤️ Your family is the cutest and sweetest 💕💕💕

[@triciarivera1928]

So excited that you guys are a short drive from your sis!

[@candlegirl1973]

We just moved, and man, I was so emotional about it. I was exhausted for days, but when I went to sleep at night, I slept all night long, and that NEVER happens. Prayers for you and your family.

[@brookbell5466]

We moved out of our home if 10 years December 4 of last year with our 3 kids so I know how you’re feeling. Excited but a pit in your stomach :( It’ll be worth it! Excited to see people still following the Lords will even when it’s hard! ❤

[@debbiestripling4896]

I’m excited for you guys. I know y’all will be a big blessing to the church. Love your sweet little family! Merry Christmas!❤

Just a uestion only because I’m curious. Erin, do yo ever wear slacks or pants at any time like some of your sisters are doing? I applaud you for your faith and great example you show.

[@anneclarecheah6487]

Hi Chad and Erin, Greetings from Malaysia 🇲🇾. I am new to your channel and I just subscribed. I love mashed potatoes very much! Your children are beautiful and very helpful in the kitchen. Thank you for this video. Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas 🌲🎅☃️. I celebrate Christmas too. Take care. God bless you and your family 🙏🇲🇾😇💞

[@OGNolan-df1jq]

Oh my goodness, we literally packed our kitchen today! I'm a Mom of 4, and we live in a 2 bedroom condo in So Cal (born and raised), moving to a house in OK. I so feel you hun. 😆 We are so excited to find new homeschool friends, and church body. Praying for you sweet momma.

[@kaliehall-to8im]

We always make mashed potatoes with truckey gravy and nice truckey baked in oven side dish onion green bean casserole my name is Heather ha

[@angelwolfe6728]

I definitely feel what you guys are going through. I bought my first home as a single mom last year. I was supposed to close 10/31 and they ended up needing an extension which meant I moved right after Christmas! I had to keep reminding myself of how nice it was going to be because it was a lot of hard work! Happy holidays! 🎄💖 Oh and those potatoes looked delicious 🤤

[@helenahopkinson381]

Merry Christmas to the Paine family safe travels to your new home. It's a big move but im sure the family will help.😇🙏

[@cassandralawson7001]

I'm so excited for you and your family. Thankful for you and Chad sharing your journey and encouraging along the way.

[@sheriturner6118]

Welcome to Florida life. It will be different that is for sure. Glad your only an hour away from your sister. That will be a blessing for you both. Packing is hard and so is the unpacking. But you will make it through. Can't wait to see the house after you have painted and decorated it.

[@GapGirl.16]

I love this. Showing how they are so willing to move to another state and do the Lord’s work ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
