Gift Exchange! | Secret Santa

[@rue353]

I love seeing the bond between CP and CM, it's so wonderful for your families that you encourage close ties between cousins AND their bio families too. All of the kids must have such large, loving families.

[@BMarie774]

I say next year, NO SWITCHING! Lol. I think some of the best, most thoughtful gifts we’ve seen have been from unexpected pairings.

[@susiesantino5625]

I agree about unexpected gifts and Ifeel they robbed themselves of having a good moment and opportunity to make a Cousin Bond closer.

[@rosebrillo4794]

I love how grateful Logan was with his fan gift. So nice to see how appreciative he is 😊

[@zeleanaaa8933]

Honestly I wish they didn’t switch, it would have been fun to see what they would get each other lol. I mean I guess I just don’t get why they would switch just so they could get a specific gift for each other when they could just do that any other day or as a normal gift on Christmas. it just defeats the purpose of the whole game. Next year, NO SWITCHING!

i don't know how i would have reacted as a mum. i have huge respect for Chrystal and her calm reaction

Aww so sweet Sandra! It was nice to see Logan’s face light up

[@kathrynaraguz4816]

Whos sandra?

[@tiffanyjohnson7876]

She granted him a gift

[@VickaleePlans]

Sandra is a viewer/fan who sent Logan a gift. Logan has such an adorable smile.

[@281cham0rrita]

I love the way both "Crazy Families" did picking names before and now exchanging their gifts! Then dinner at one house and dessert at the other, is such an equal trade! (That way both homes get torn up equally) 🤣 "Just kidding" It is so cool the way you guys arranged that this year! ^5 to whoever thought of that! 👍👍👍 Most of all I love how each person is so appreciative of their cousins gift!!! ❤❤❤ Aaron you did AMAZING with dinner! It looked really delicious!!! Love your family! ❤

[@caraevans2609]

Logan’s cup holder should be on the opposite side facing out. I love seeing what everyone got each other!

[@karayoung4411]

Logan saying I didn’t know this was a thing was ADORABLE ❤ He’s so cute ❤

[@cazb7806]

Love when you all get together, I hope you all carry this tradition on every Christmas. Blessings to you all.

I’m Mexican and love me some birria tacos but have never attempted to make them but now that Arron has shared the recipe I might have to !!! They look so yummmy

[@gaby1234407]

We typically use the big 40 qrt pot to make Tamales! Coming from a Mexican the taco shells kind of hurt my heart but the birria tacos look delicious!

[@PositiveVibesOnly37]

I love this Family and everything about them, including CM, but their lack of preparedness, and last minute shopping gives me ANXIETY for them. I could never leave ANYTHING to the last minute, especially shopping for a meal/get together that includes a gift exchange. I could never leave all of that until the day of the event. I would literally lose my mind from the stress. Love ya tho!💕

[@sharonj7274]

That's what I'm saying too.

[@elainefrancis3013]

I knew what Brody meant! He is a very smart boy, good job Brody 👍🏼

[@ejgrunch]

Logan, it’s great to see that smile of yours your family is one of my favorite families to watch just watching all of you, put a smile on my face

[@findmeintime]

This is the whole point of having a big family. Just hanging out, eating playing and enjoying company.

[@musicgracefulutube]

I love how they all said what they liked about the cousin they bought a gift for as well as buying a gift! That is a gift in itself!

[@darci5604]

So much fun to see the cousins together and celebrating the Christmas cheer and enjoying family time! I am definitely saving this recipe for the Birria Tacos!!!

[@teraphIl1000]

I had a smile on my face throughout the whole video. I'd love to have a big family like that!

[@Fr332Bm3]

6:35 am Tokyo. So love the video. Pretty cool thing I noticed. Until now I noticed how Lacey and Anaveah looked alike ? When Cody and Braxton was hugging Crystal . I noticed how Braxton and Cody could also be bio brothers. But then Braxton and Anaveah does favor each other strongly. Really love all the interaction. That too is because as sisters Shelley and Crystal as well as the husbands works things out. It’s just so nice to see family loving each other. ❤

[@LovinElvis247]

Logan what a great surprise gift from Sandra and much needed for your wheelchair. Hope you’re having a lot of Christmas Fun ❤️

[@annamancia4575]

Both families are amazing is so great to see the older kids enjoy all the little toys and have fun... would love to make this a family tradition too...

[@Cassiesibbitt]

Omg I’d pay y’all a million dollars to send me one of those tacos! Aaron is an amazing chef! It looks soooo good omg! I love how close the cousins are! Even if they don’t see each other much they’re still so close! Seeing Savannah and Aubrey reminds me of how close me and my cousin were!

[@Cassiesibbitt]

@@jacquelinecote271 lol! I have a small family. 7 ppl in one house. Most aren’t home around dinner time and a lot of littles so mostly chicken nuggets and spaghetti most nights!

[@bhaddiepurrr9582]

It’s Birria

[@robynvaccaro9287]

Its funny to me how ppl that live in the city think an 18 min ride to a store is a long ride. I grew up in rural areas and 18 minutes to a store is quick for us 😂🤣 I love watching you guys! Always make me smile! Merry Christmas to all of you!! Keep it crazy!!!!

[@notyourtypicalgranny]

I lived in a part of Australia for a while where the nearest proper grocery store was 4 and a half hours away.

[@robynvaccaro9287]

No, the dollar store has raised prices. Brody is correct.

Really missed Halie n Arianna on the last 2 vlogs. Glad that Halie is on this one. Love whn da cousins meet up. ❤️ frm Jamaica 🇯🇲

[@ednanelson1897]

Dinner looked amazing. What a great idea to have gifts under $5.00. We usually take the kids from church to Five Below for their gift exchange. Maybe going to Dollar Tree might be a better alternative. Live how thoughtful all the gifts are.

[@tiggerhaines4307]

It’s so nice to see everyone together at this time of year. They show so much love, laughter and having a great time. Hugs💕💕

[@jazminy270]

as a mexican, i approve of aron’s birria tacos 👍😂

Love that she said 18 minutes away is too far!! LOL

[@purdyhen7903]

Aaron did an amazing job on those tacos! They looked really good and authentic!

[@Cjasper016]

I loved this video. Love how you guys switch things up from when you picked the names.

[@mymainepage5184]

I feel like it’s kinda mean they switched. It’s kinda like that person wasn’t good enough for them. The younger boys always get overlooked it feels like. I hope whoever got switched gets really nice and thoughtful gifts.

[@Orangejuice2313]

I always do a secret santa with my kids and family, they always switch about, its nothing to do with having favourites, its who they think will be easier to buy for, or if someone knows what someone wants they may try and swap for that person, its normal, not personal

[@mymainepage5184]

@@Orangejuice2313 I can totally see that happening and I’m probably just taking it personal for them lol. I think I would just try to challenge my kids to buy for the people they got because they could grow their relationship and memories with more family and if you’re going to do a secret Santa you should just do it fairly like be a good team player. If everyone did who they originally received it might not have been as easy but also an opportunity to learn about that person more and just show them you care. I’d just be the Scrooge I guess 😂 I mean they can always grab a gift at dollar tree for a cousin if they wanted to so I like when I see the older kids getting the little ones things and the little ones shopping for the older ones. It seems so special with the gifts they choose for each other.

[@emmamendoza725]

@@mymainepage5184 I totally agree with you

[@Lillianmxy]

I feel like, inevitably you’re going to be closer to certain cousins/siblings (I know I am for sure) that doesn’t mean I don’t love ALL of my cousins, I just get along with some more than others, that’s may be due to age, gender, personality, likes, dislikes…. I feel like I’m this instance the younger cousins would actually be happier with someone they’re closer with as well as the older ones. Of coarse it can seem unfair and sometimes it is, but it’s very obvious all of the kids love all of their cousins and siblings, the switches weren’t done with any malice.

[@donnacoker7716]

The thing is, though, is these kids lack for NOTHING! They get to go and do far more than most average kids do. But kids are going to be kids and they’re going to switch names to get who they may feel closer to, but as @My Maine Page mentioned, it helps with building relationships and memories with someone they wouldn’t necessarily have bonded with.

[@darthsidious9305]

I love when a family adopts and they form a new bond as cousins like Brinley and Bella I can’t wait to see there new bond as cousins and also I can't wait to see them as close as cousins

OMG! Bella you’re too funny. I can’t stand when my dog licks my face either. I LOVE dogs, like I have to stop and pet every dog I see. I love them so much. But I don’t want them licking my face when I know they clean themselves with that same tongue. 😂 It freaks me out when I see people letting their dog lick them all over their face. It’s not right!

[@garypeterson4483]

The only time I've actually used recipes is for baking; and the only kind of peppers allowed in my house are bell peppers. Never been able to smell beginning when someone told me to use pepper to clear my sinuses. I'd only use ground beef for tacos

[@caileysoper9437]

The “what I love…” thing at the end sounds so awkward, which makes so much sense. As much as I love my family, it’d def be weird to compliment them on camera

It's so odd to me that you have to add tax on after. In the UK, it's in the amount, so if I go to the Pound shop, everything is a pound, nothing extra. So if I get 5 items, I pay £5 only.

[@brendabaird357]

Just a bit of advice from someone who has been wheelchair bound my entire life be careful with the phone and cup holder. All of the ones I’ve had come on my wheelchairs are really cheap plastic and they’re magnets for door frames. Every single time I would go through a doorway the holder would suddenly fall down and rip off as soon as I went through doors because by the time I noticed it down I wouldn’t be able to stop quick enough to put it back up. I’ve been in power wheelchairs for almost 15 years though so that makes a difference in speed going through doorways, ect.
