SORTING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR MY 11 KIDS

[@DoughertyDozen]

*I forgot a Kohl’s bag in the van and realized after! It had a hoodie for Alex, a hoodie for Dayshawn, a bunch of shirts and a set of jammies for Bree and a makeup palette gift set from Sephora for Bree.

[@milanwrld]

You’re not worried the big kids could be watching this video?

[@Asherdabasher]

I have a question, is there a way you make sure your kids dont watch these videos and spoil the surprise for themselves?

[@janicesummers105]

Zoey got maybe 1/3 the presents that Bree got.

[@sandratrautman227]

There is nothing wrong with Jordan playing with Thomas the train things. Kids deserve to be kids. I am glad you are letting them be kids and not grow up too fast.

[@annaf3915]

Why wouldn't he play with trains, isn't he like 9?

[@tracywaring3769]

That’s the trouble with today. My grandsons are 7 and five they do lots of age appropriate things but they are mad on football and they already sound like teenagers just a few sort weeks it frightening how fast they grow xx

[@SammieDee.]

Merry Christmas sweet Dougherty family. So many beautiful hearts and gifts. Bree going to freak over those pink boots. They are so awesome!

[@becky73460]

You have 3 adorable dogs ❤❤❤

[@MrRokSeS]

Hello guys (I’m addressing commentators and channel viewers who live in America or Europe)! I'm interested in the question. Is it normal for ordinary families (not bloggers) to give SO MANY gifts at Christmas?! And what principles do you follow when purchasing gifts?

[@evamarie4527]

No. This is OVER buying. Most families can't afford even half of what she got.

[@FLCHRISSIE28]

I personally believe most families if they can afford to give their children a lot for Christmas they do. Myself growing up we would get one big expensive gift and then little things we would get socks. We would get clothes. We would get things that are needed throughout the year. I also think with this family because so many were in foster care and she's able to spoil them. I say go for it. Some of the kids had some really rough lies going through foster care and living in foster homes. Let them enjoy being kids as long as they can

[@MrRokSeS]

@@debbiec6216 If anything, I didn’t want to offend anyone in any way. It’s just that in my country there is no such thing that a child will be given more than 2-3 gifts from his parents. We try to give our child 1 gift from Santa and 1 gift from us, but an expensive one and the one he dreamed of.

[@Jessica-ml6td]

Despite what other people may say. It actually depends on the parents if they can afford a large amount of presents. Not everyone can afford a large amount of gifts. I know there's some judgment people in this world, it's the parents money not anyone else's if the parents want to buy a lot of gifts and can afford them it's their choice.

[@lindazelepugas1000]

Sometimes it is hard to not buy a lot, I keep it to "something they want, something they need, and something to read"

[@dianalester1351]

Your pups are so pretty, they are protecting you!

[@juliedevries4565]

That train set is awesome. My dad was a railroad worker so we have some many trains in the house ❤❤

[@shirleygiordano7627]

I played with toys and used my imagination a lot longer than other girls my age. There is nothing wrong with Jason. Every kid is different.

[@Duke-pn4ex]

I did so until I was about 17, I was still playing with toys and using my imagination a lot. I had two siblings who were a few years younger than me, and always wanted me to play toys with them. It kept me young and I don’t regret it. In fact, I’m 28 now and I miss those days a lot! It was so much fun.

[@shirleygiordano7627]

@@Duke-pn4ex , I understand. I have 2 baby sisters as well.

[@clairejayne1100]

Wow great haul! Can’t wait to watch them all being wrapped to fully see what each of them got. They’re going to be super happy kids on Christmas morning! Where did you put them/how have you stored them before wrapping when you moved them off the couch?

[@GlynisMarthinussen.]

Bubba and Dixie are the cutest just lying there and watching 🥰

I ❤ love going through my kids Christmas presents makes me happy what santa was able to bring them its just a fun time of year love your Christmas ideas to cute love the bags 🎒 💕

[@amyerion9710]

Ok that darn chicken for Zoe is beyond adorbs. Pups are worse than kids. Our two always want to help. They have to sniff, bump into gifts etc… glad someone else has helpers. Lol. So smart with the little fridges. Great idea!

[@theresaartigue4813]

Imagine all of this fitting within this poor house. How?

[@ajpgcouple6980]

I love the dogs so cutie..❤️ God bless your health and always be safe.. Merry Christmas.

Omg josh looks like Michael getting ready to get you in back ground that’s funny.

[@trinityduran4600]

I love how magical you guys make Christmas everyone always feels special in their own way.

[@jenko1820]

I thought the Santa sacks were so you didn’t have to wrap 😂 I was wishing I had some!! 😅😂

[@jeniray-cozzens128]

Laughing at my dogs, Peach and Clover, barking at your dogs barking at the construction workers! Merry Christmas!

[@GabriellaAcabella]

I played with Barbies till I was 13. Maybe things were different in the 90s. Merry Christmas

[@DoughertyDozen]

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🧡

[@kapylanelamaa]

Merry Christmas! It was nice to see what you have bougt for your Kids 😍

[@Erikaowlette]

The anxiety and reflexes when the dogs busted up the sorting tumbling around 😅😅I was like no! Get down immediately 😅❤

[@sheilababineaux488]

There is nothing wrong with Jordan. 50orvso %of grown men own or have a train set. Good job. ❤❤❤❤

[@rebeccalathrop7802]

My husband and son both have a train set.

[@tiffaniecontardo9331]

I hate wrapping in general and I only have 1 kiddo. I would have to hire someone to wrap for me if I had that many gifts 😅

[@DoughertyDozen]

[@tammyhaeske2016]

Have you tried weighted blankets for the kids. I have one great for anxiety and a good night sleep

[@tonyaguitron4497]

When did the color of the refrigerator be on the box that you opened when you took out the little refrigerator? Because when Dayshawn does his recycling. He’ll know that everyone got a little refrigerator.🤣😂

Lol, you do what I do! When my cat is in the way, I just start doing what I have to do to make her move! I usually throw sheets on her! 😂😂😂😂😂 the dogs moved! 😂😂😂😂

[@FamilyandHomemakingwithTiffany]

The santa sacs are adorable! I was afraid you were gonna get lost in all the boxes 😆😂 That didn't really take too long to sort though! I agree with you about the toys, if they want to play with it, let them be kids as long as they can, they grow up too fast as it is these days! Lovely gifts you got for your kids! Looking forward to wrapping with you! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

[@DoughertyDozen]

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🧡

[@laylamartin2866]

I love watching your videos. Everytime a video drops i always get comfortable, get my snacks, & watch. Don't let none of these people get to you. People just need to mind there business. & worry about whats going on in there home.

[@dolivier]

DayShawn is her favorite ❤️

[@denisefelton6302]

Happy Holidays to you and the family. Dont know if Zoey knows or not, but Netflix is developing a new Chronicles of Narnia series. Don't know if they have a date yet. Think it is just in the developing stage now. 🎄🎁☃️

[@DoughertyDozen]

Oh wow! That’s awesome!

[@oyvey529]

I have absolutely no clue how you can remember all this, who gets what! You're like superwoman!!! Can't wait for the wrapping video ❤

[@Countryside24]

I would have to have a notebook 📒 at the store to write who got what and then write their names on the present 🎁 to remember!

[@kotoriwisp]

Ths kids are going to have an incredible Christmas! You're doing amazing thank you for taking us along the way.

[@shirleygiordano7627]

No bit for real, where did the towels come from again? This is a great idea in general.

[@Lkajdirnwn]

A Santa sack is a genius idea!

[@jangoslin8258]

My family decided this year besides our normal gifts giving we are going to do a different secret santa , we have to buy the funiest present we can think of for £5 or under , mine is hilarious , its going to be fun .

[@debraroberge7875]

Bree is going to love those pink boots..i love them

[@TahoeMama.]

The dogs were like "what'd you get me mom?" Too cute

[@TheSamjane4]

James didnt seem to get much compared to the other kids...they all got electronics and he didn't ...just clothes and knives

[@jeanne9375]

That’s may be cause of what he asked for. Why does it matter?? He is older and sounds like he wanted stuff for his culinary arts program.

[@lisadishman2192]

He got 3 pairs of shoes! Lots of Hoodies, pants, books culinary stuff and a fridge! I’d say he did well!

[@AlexaBosse]

good culinary knives are very expensive. that magnetic board alone is $100

[@caronbradford7559]

He got the Titanic Lego set that was up stairs that was expensive as maybe he didn’t want electronics stuff as not into it and Lego he is ..that alone was $100 or just under she say about the Lego twice

[@lizbrown9645]

Some presents might be a private surprise for the Kids

[@Tracy-z9p]

Love this so much. I’m excited for your kids, they will love their Christmas. I am also glad that your kids like to read. I loved to read when I was a kid and I still do. Books can make the best gifts. Happy for all of you.

Some of the comments but one that stands out if she was to donate to foster care it would be worth watching 🤔 you do know these children -4 might be in there if it wasn’t for her she a credit! Amazing mum to all these beautiful children be nice if you can’t don’t watch some of us are interested 🤷‍♀️ just saying keep being you love your videos ❤

[@cheryldirsa8383]

Alicia, you are going to choke on your coffee when you hear this ... Walmart has that coffee pot duo for 69.00... For that price, you should snatch one up and store it away for when this one tanks. I know you enjoy your coffee... just an FYI ... Merry Christmas 😊

[@themomvlogger1856]

You did a great job. The kids are going to have a very nice Christmas ❤

Wow, just WOW, some of you. SO MEAN! She clearly loves all her children, and is a very generous Mom. If you can’t be nice with comments, just leave and don’t watch. Taking the time to leave mean comments is just evil.

[@MyButterfly60]

This was fun! Love those fridges! Can i ask where you got them please?

[@colleenvignaud2534]

I believe she said Amazon 😊

[@angiewhitcomb601]

How much before Christmas do you start shopping?

[@aprilsmithswe]

How do you manage all the clothes for the kids? Do you go through and clean out monthly or seasonally? Do you give the smaller kids the bigger kids used clothes? I cannot even imagine.

[@siakelley2345]

Great video I'm excited for them lol

[@susanthompson1942]

Please wrap them with us. I love that when you do that.

[@tracykoo2947]

How do you decide between Switch or PS5 for them? Or is it just what they want?

[@vanessarrandolph5373]

They have wish lists w names

[@tonic.1917]

For you kids that share rooms-- do they each have their own tv?

I got my nephews mini fridges for Christmas last year they love them. They put waters and fruits for when they are on their gaming systems and don’t want to go to the kitchen. Lol
