[@ladysmith7]

For Christmas I use to tell my daughter when she was younger thaglt Jesus shares his gifts with her and it's his birthday. She use to yell thank you Jesus every Christmas 😂.. what you're doing is not lying to them but teaching them the truth. God bless you and your family.

[@beckytaggarttrunnell1650]

My parents never did the Easter Bunny. They did Santa, but I think I'm not going to do either with my kiddos. I want to keep these holidays Christ-centered from the start!

[@BIGHOHO24]

Love that you don’t go the Easter Bunny and Santa!! We don’t either and it’s never been missed. We do learn about the real Saint Nicholas each Christmas. As a mom of 9 myself, I enjoy your videos!

[@rachaellove8498]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@blessedlifewithlaura]

We didn’t do Santa or the Easter bunny and my boys turned out just fine. It made them appreciate the hard work my husband does to provide for them at the holidays. Your doing a good job mama God bless!❤

[@chloehoesing6434]

Yes mama, same here we don’t practice idolitary or pagan holidays in our home either. We serve the lord and read our scriptures and the scriptures say clearly not to take part in these worldly holidays . Good bless all and open our eyes ❤

[@rachaellove8498]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@brittdoesacartwheel]

Unpopular opinion but I like the no Santa/Easter bunny thing. Holidays can still be magical even without them. I feel like people go wayyyy too far to uphold the “belief “ that it just gets bonkers.

[@familyadventuretv978]

Totally agree

[@Layla_loves_food]

My parents did the Easter bunny and Santa when I was younger, but my mom is against it now, and I don’t plan to do either with any possible future children of my own. I hate how people can take every holiday about Jesus and turn the focus to something totally different. I strongly agree👍

[@beautysuav8272]

Agreee

[@sarahweaver7613]

I defiantly agree! Growing up my siblings and I always knew that Santa and the Easter bunny wasn't real and I'm glad that they didn't lie to us all those years!

[@lianyshernandez5744]

❤❤

[@shell7142]

Same here sister, although I don’t even do egg hunts. We take the time to learn about the true meaning, I also gave chocolate cross. Family always gives candy baskets. I felt convicted on the egg hunts, coloring eggs and baskets so this year was the first year I truly simplified it and made it about the TRUE reason. :) awesome for you for standing in what you believe in!

[@jenniferdiane]

I love this so much! Easter is probably my favorite holiday and I agree with being honest with kids from the beginning.

[@virginia2chis333]

We all need to practice this truth! Thank you for sharing Loved the dresses and the sharped dressed young men. God Bless Y’all! ✝️

[@rachaellove8498]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@mandyshores1818]

I'm glad! The bunny and Santa are mockery and distractions of what really matters! Good for you!

[@yanab4]

He is risen indeed!!! Happy Easter! I have 4 kids and we don't do any eggs or rabbits stuff..all the focus is on Jesus who died for us and risen from the dead!! That is what Easter is all about

[@aneena777]

Love it how you grow faith in them A best mom right there wonderful ❤❤🎉

[@WakeupAmerica777]

Praise God for you and your precious family always! May He continue to richly bless you!

[@britl4099]

Love it! That's exactly how my husband and I do things with our kids. God bless!

[@tjm1013]

❤ yay!!! my home celebrated the same way..I was traumatized from youth too. I ❤ your videos, your a great mama.

[@sheambitious29lachelle17]

Amen! Your a great mom

[@ciaragracelewis]

Same! No Easter bunny, tooth fairy, or Santa. I don’t miss it, and kiddos have a wonderful, meaningful celebration.

[@fabianepereira5286]

Lindos,maravilhosos,parabéns, que família linda.

[@amandacarlos1768]

Same with Us!! God Bless

[@karynilla1]

Finally a Social Media family teaching the truth about ❤️🙏 at least is the 1st time i see it. congrats

[@SouthernCrossNC]

Love how you raise your family and live for the lord and not the world!! Props to you!! You make it look easy! Much respect :)

[@AshbayFam]

Aww thank you so much!❤️

[@ericawhitfield9289]

Beautiful matching dresses! We don’t do Santa or Easter bunny either. Seems so silly. Easter is magical because Jesus is alive and we celebrate with our extended family, not because of a bunny. Plus my husband has always said, like others in the comments, that we don’t want to lie about something like Santa and put doubts in their head about Jesus.

[@lynnempire]

People should not get upset with you about not lying to your kids Easter bunny, Santa clause, tooth fairy, all of those are false idols And celebrating them is idol worship, Santa whoever that is Has replaced God in most households Parents have taught their kids to put hope and faith into a made up idol who they are made to believe know everything and sees everything And if they are good If they are good they get presents Well let me tell you how much that Christmas is going to hurt when the enemy is allowed to come into your household and you have nothing to give to your very deserving children! This happened to us before we knew Christ We should only be putting hope and faith into our Lord Jesus Christ who IS all knowing all mighty NEVER EVER into a false idol Don’t lie to the kids, always correct them against the worlds teaching with the word of God 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 fyi a lot of these holidays ESPECIALLY Halloween are pagan holidays celebrations and traditions down to your Christmas tree ❤ blessings to all

[@natalieeubank4533]

It’s just for fun, nothing more it’s an idol only if it’s at the forefront of every conversation which isn’t true for my family

[@claudiag.3036]

Girl, SAME. My kids know that we got them the gifts. I’m not letting some bunny take the credit. 😂 I honestly never even wanted to do the whole Santa thing either, but my husband started it. 😏 I never believed in Santa, even when my parents tried to make it believable. I basically was pretending for their benefit. 🤣

[@mapletree8086]

I love the matching outfits!

[@CelineMurfin]

I love these vlogs 🥹

[@tmaffeo]

I grew up with all of it . I’m old fashion and both my kids grew up with the Easter bunny ,Santa clause, and the tooth fairy . Catching their foot prints with baby powder putting pink lipstick on and red lipstick on and kissing their foreheads . Ohhh the magic in their eyes and now my 5 yr old grandson and 3 yr old granddaughter will fe growing up the same . Nothing wrong with your way but there is nothing wrong with our way either . Love you and your family and above all , God is above everything 🌻🌻🌻

[@Risa-ef3su]

AMEN! May God continue to bless your family! ❤️🙏

[@RootsNRivers]

We don't do any of those either. No lies, honesty is so important.

[@vanessamarie6405]

Yes! New subscriber here; you had me at JESUS. ❤

[@irishdaisy1628]

New parents and she is 2. We also have a biblical view. The thing we are finding is changing from so much candy, but still having fun.

[@sarahmohiuddin4020]

Your dress is beautiful! Where is it from?

[@beckytaggarttrunnell1650]

I wanna know too!

[@janedoe7127]

I wish i could give this a million thumbs up 👍 Seriously.

[@shadowqueen8042]

Those dresses😢😢😢GORGEOUS

[@1realonealwayzsweetlikehon998]

Beautiful family 💕🤩💕

[@lisamedland5267]

Amen. He is risen!! I ❤ that your kids know the truth and you don't do the bunny and Santa even though the world's makes us feel we need to! Good for you!!

[@AprilJoy44]

Good for you! I have complete respect for my parents for never lying to me and now as a mom I refuse to lie to my daughter. Santa movies can be fun, but it’s just a story

[@georgiaelse3777]

God bless you and your family ❤️

[@alisonmitchell8492]

My mom and dad never raised me to believe in Santa or the Easter Bunny, and I will happily do the same with my own kids one day, so I agree with this unpopular opinion. Thank you for raising those kiddos in a beautiful, Jesus-loving home!

[@heatherdavid-damm6372]

My 1st degree was in early childhood development. That is when I realized how when some kids learned of the reality surrounding, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy & Santa- that they then questioned God since they couldn’t see him - was he really for real. Decided then that none of those were going to exist in our house.

[@Miss_1981]

I don't do easter bunny or santa or the tooth fairy either, never have. My kids know where all there gifts come from. Each to their own x

[@JP-rf7cu]

We do Santa , but it’s just a little stuff, like hygiene stuff, socks , a family board game. We opening presents on Christmas Eve from us and from Santa on Christmas morning. But as I said it’s just a little things we need. We do egg hunt, but my kids knows I prepare it for them. They just want to have fun to collect eggs 😊

[@jamescampbell510]

Praise the lord ❤❤❤

[@crystalmichelle6053]

We also do not go the Easter bunny, santa, tooth fairy, etc route. They get gifts because we want to give them. Resurrection Day and Christmas is about Jesus in our home. ❤️

[@saraprevost]

That’s how we do it too, we don’t like Santa or the Easter bunnie or anything to do with celebrating holidays we teach the kids that we organize everything an let them know that we can make things even more special

[@margaretatkinson1344]

My kids are grown. we did not do Santa, Easter Bunny, or Halloween. Proud of Ya!

[@PrincessDaisy-ln1wc]

All about Jesus!! ❤️

[@sharonlewies9920]

No santa, no Easter bunny but yes to Jesus!😂😂😂

[@brittneyhoward9595]

We don’t do the Bunny or Santa! It’s still so magical when they get their gifts from us!

[@sabzamora1700]

GOD bless you and your family in Jesus name Amen 😊

[@alyssadaw4232]

LOVE hearing other families opt out of Santa and the Easter bunny. I’d love to know what you and your husband tell the kids if they ask about Santa. Do you have other family members that include Santa? How does that work come the holiday?

[@barbaraweber3084]

I love flutter sleeves.

[@tiffany_martin]

You're doing the right thing. God doesn't want us celebrating Easter, but instead celebrating Jesus's resurrection. The bunny and all of that is simply a distraction. Same with Christmas, it's about Jesus, not Santa; Santa is a distraction from Jesus. Is it a coincidence Santa flipped around is "Satan?" I really don't think so. It's all supposed to be about Jesus. ❤ You're an incredible mom who is truly a testimony to the goodness & beauty of Jesus, keep shining bright!!! I enjoy your videos, you're raising your kids amazingly. ❤ Love you, sis. God bless you and all your family. ❤🎉

[@pioneerprepper2048]

We don't do Santa or the Easter bunny either! Our kids still have so much fun on holidays

[@Icarus_Medusa16]

My parents did Santa/Easter Bunny/Toothfairy and I found out from my cousin that they weren’t real, cant say I was crushed or destroyed I always knew or had an inkling…but my parents always told us for Santa that we believed not in Santa himself but in the spirit of him, the spirit of giving which was used as a teaching tool growing up more than lying to keep a belief going. I might do the spirit of Santa idea my dad came up with but I know I don’t want to crush my kids or have them find it out through someone else.

[@taylore22]

I love this idea! Same here when I grew up I knew it was my parents doing all those things and I was like why did they lie 😅😂 I’m a Christian and this is something I want to do with my son! ❤

[@Ok2bcrazy78]

I thought I was making memories . These grown kids argued about me cooking a Easter Sunday dinner.. I do it every single year.. 24 years .. They don't remember last year appparently.

[@ezrelasamuel5967]

Thank you for mentioning the reason to celebrate Easter. The REAL reason❤

[@janedoe7127]

Good for you! Some people think it is SO BAD to "rob" them from a LIE! We dont do the bunny or santa thing either. Its more important to tell your kids the truth. More importantly, the truth about Jesus ❤

[@jojoyoung2803]

Your dress is beautiful x

[@katiekolstad4868]

I totally agree with this mom

[@AshbayFam]

🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@77classique]

That is so great to hear 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@emmywagner8565]

I love you outlook on Easter & Christmas. Your so right, it’s about Jesus. Not the money enterprise that it’s been made out to be. When my kids were little at Christmas they got 3 presents. One from each other, one from us and one to celebrate Jesus’ birth.

[@addievarney8205]

Yes I love how you celebrate Easter we do it slimmer we never believed in Santa or the Easter bunny or anything like that and I wouldn’t have it any other way… and no judgment or hate to the people who do do this for their kids😁

[@BlessedMama2022]

That’s truly amazing that y’all don’t do Easter bunny or Santa we also don’t with our babies and I’ve gotten a lot of crap for it, so it’s so nice to hear someone else say that! Good for you! Jesus is the King an should be praised not some person in a suit.

[@michellebryant4730]

Enjoy your christian family so much!Jesus is the reason for Christmas and Easter.

[@bunnynut]

My parents made that same choice and I appreciated it. We always knew they would tell us the truth.

[@cassieambriz7115]

It made me so happy to hear you say this. We do not do the Easter bunny, we do not do Santa Claus, and we do not participate in any Halloween activities. The first two are all about Jesus, the last one is the Devils day. Nice to hear another Christian share the same values.

[@priscillajames-tg3zm]

❤ Amen!

[@kristaku8270]

(1st person says) He is Risen! (Response) He is Risen Indeed! 😁 I always love saying that phrase around Easter. It’s so fun and special like saying Merry Christmas and you get Merry Christmas back. ❤️ I was very upset as a kid about Santa and the tooth fairy. I agree that the happiness and excitement can be there without the fake characters. My son is only 1 right now, but my plan for the future when it comes to Christmas is that our family will focus on Jesus. Since Saint Nicholas was a real person that did good things, I want to tell him those true stories. Hopefully that will prevent him from telling other kids that Santa isn’t real-upsetting kids and parents. He might even share the true stories and tell the other kids about Jesus. ❤️

[@KH-hr5xm]

I love this! Where are your dresses from?! Gorgeous! We also don't do the Easter bunny or Santa. It can detract away from the real meaning of the holiday, at least it did for my husband and I when we were kids. I was also very wounded when I found out Santa and the bunny weren't really magical. How will our kids believe us when we teach them about the miracles and mysteries of our faith if they found out we lied to them about other fantastical things? Just our own personal conviction! We do a scavenger hunt for our Easter baskets after church and that's such a fun tradition!

[@Layla_loves_food]

I Sooooo agree with you

[@nancykane8680]

Yes it is all about Jesus ❤

[@OneinChrist7]

Amen!

[@sibylledecarlo7108]

Wow, A Big job to prepare for family events & family living; 5 kids!

[@briannakearse6780]

Amen

[@JaylenHilton-hf5xh]

I agree with the no santa thing, I was crushed when I found out santa wasn't real, my mom tried to convince me he was but the damage was done, I was absolutely heartbroken and I wouldn't do that to my kids

[@crazy4jjc]

Absolutely love your dress. Where did you purchase it!

[@avagraham8404]

Where are those dresses from!!! ❤

[@loriholm1396]

I never did the Easter bunny or Santa Claus either. That was over 35 years ago with my first child. All my kids are awesome adults.

[@tiffanyharper56]

Love it

[@daniletourneau6182]

You guys do what works for you!! ❤❤❤

[@rinanimo]

I totally agree with the easter bunny and Christmas thing because its not even what people say it is about like Jesus was born April 5th and not December 25 and i feel like many people need to see how the wicked tries to flip it backwards. If you know you kinda know. Its hard to explain in a comment.

[@emmaanderson3698]

Where is your dress from?? It's beautiful!

[@AshbayFam]

Thanks! It’s Ivy City Co! You can find my exact one at my LTK shop which I believe I put in the description 🤗

[@kate_700]

We don’t do the Easter bunny either! 😊

[@XenonTetrafluoride]

Actually, we don’t do Santa/Easter Bunny with our son, either, and I think he’s the happier for it. Because he’s neurodivergent, and easily overwhelmed, we generally bring out a few extra special presents for Christmas Day, and then we sprinkle the rest of the gifts out over the rest of the break. Basically, do what makes sense for your family, and know that you’re absolutely not the only one. 😊❤ ❤ Sasha

[@carmela1306]

I would want to do that no invented stuff thing with my future kids but I'm just worried they would spill the tea at school and make other kids sad or mad, it's just that I don't want them to be responsible for what other parents should be

[@KTM-wt3gy]

I am not even a parent yet, and I always said that I would never do the Santa bunny thing

[@gorgeous1fangirl]

Is it common to do presents for Easter? I always thought it was weird. I never considered the Easter bunny to be at the same level as Santa at all

[@gabbyhidalgo]

Beautiful

[@lucybennett-ez6we]

Our family of 9 never did Easter bunny or Santa either because our parents wanted us to appreciate the money that they spend on us

[@susansewall6632]

we always told our son easter bunny isnt real. Santa however brings one gift. and the toothfairy got outed this year after my son lost his front 4 teeth. We decided that those 4 where enough and to let him know what he got came from us. Im sure santa will be next to go. Hes 7 I just wanted to hold it a bit longer as he is my only one and we are waiting on God to bless us with more

[@tawandataylor7271]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💛💛💛💛💛💛

[@SallySue9725]

No worries I understand. Lol I remember when I found out about Santa, overheard some kids talking went “oh okay” then moved on 😂I remember not caring at all rofl. Personally I’ve been thinking of doing a combination for my future kids. Like I love things like Santa because for me they’re synonymous with like childhood innocence but I also want them to know the true meaning of the season. So my (rough draft) idea is doing something like “yes Christmas is Jesus’s birthday but because He’s such a good guy He wanted you guys to have presents instead so He asked his friend Santa to help Him out.”

[@jesuslovesyoucw]

Love This!❤️✝️💯

[@cartercomeaux2742]

I love his Blanket I have one like it but mine is World Series idk if his is I couldn’t tell

[@christinemcloon290]

We didn't get a easter present We looked for boiled eggs. Christmas was not great. My daddy always got drunk on Christmas Eve and was asleep all Christmas. We went to church very early on Easter Sunday for sunrise services

[@kristinhooten1334]

We don't do Santa, easter bunny, tooth fairy, etc. none of it. Our daughter knows that there is a person portraying Santa (at the mall) but he does not come in the middle of the night to deliver presents and so forth lol.

[@Gesam1234]

Love you 💝

[@paigemaxwell2533]

Where is your dress from?!?

[@debbyherrick6676]

The video cut right off when you were explaining about Easter😢😢😢

[@AshbayFam]

Oh, this is old and so I don’t remember where it cuts off but I did post the full version of the video too
