FAMILY THANKSGIVING SPECIAL 2017! | Ellie and Jared

[@ellieandjared]

WELCOME! Thanks for stopping by today! We're so grateful for so many things, including you. We hope you've had an awesome weekend as we get in the holiday spirit. This is going to be a very special holiday season. Just you wait!

[@littlemissdesiii]

Ellie and Jared I love you guys so much! You guys make me happy!

[@saneilkumar6296]

You should go to the beach with Cullen and Katie and Bryan and Missy in Florida... it would be nice to see you all together😄

[@Fanny.I]

Seeing calvin in jackson's old clothes is just😍 were did the time go😓

[@jaclynmitkova3571]

Ellie and Jared, what is Ellie’s Phone Number

[@SicklyCake]

Ellie and Jared Happy thanksgiving guys hope u had a wonderfull day

[@Kathykath123]

It's funny to think about how thankful I am for you and your family, even though I am just a comment on a video and you are just a person on a screen to me. I have been watching ever since you got the phone call that you were pregnant with Jackson. You were on the recommended videos on the side of my screen and I decided to click it and I just fell in love with you guys. You and all of your family member's channels give me a 10-15 minute break during my day to unwind and relax and forget about any stress I might have. I am thankful for how much I have learned from you all. Not only to love one another, to give back, to appreciate life and the hardships it brings us, but on how to parent and show your kids unconditional love. I know that when I start a family of my own, I will use some of your parenting techniques to parents my own children. I will use your relationship advice to have a healthy relationship with my husband. You have touched the lives of many and I hope you realize the impact your 10 minute videos have on people. Thank you Ellie and Jared and the rest of the fam- we all are so thankful for you! Thank you for sharing your imperfectly perfect lives with us.

[@downtonviewer]

Those are my thoughts exactly. Same, same.

[@arlettesnijders6227]

My thoughts as well

[@DaniJean1]

Aww that was so sweet. I hope they see this.

[@ameliets]

You just take my thoughts out. It's exactly the same thing for me.

[@courtneynichole4349]

Kathryn Rose perfectly said :)

[@yellodello1221]

I love the two day delay because then it's like I get to celebrate the holiday twice! Once for me and then again through you guys!

[@RubyDiamondZ]

Mary Derby I hate it. The holiday is over and this just feels like something that happened a long time ago

[@stacyahl]

Baby Luv agree, the delay stinks!

[@maringlencako5689]

This is 3 days because 1 : Friday 2: Saturday 3: Today

[@davida.3714]

Baby Luv watch something else instead of watching delayed vlogs buddy.

[@davida.3714]

Stacy Ahl watch something else you don't have to watch delayed vlogs .

[@philhutton7406]

we love aunt linda.

[@SarahBabyBliss]

I’m so glad you guys decided to stick to your new schedule that gives you more time together. Anyone who loves you will love watching your holiday specials whenever you post! 😘

[@Student____2025__1]

SarahBabyBliss I agree. Well said.

[@GinA7887]

One of the things I always liked about Ellie and Jared is that they are very family oriented .Holidays should be about family and friends not hurrying out to shop on black Friday

[@SarahBevElizabeth]

gina julian I need to find a man who's so family oriented, it feels like they don't exist these days! At least none my age :/

[@RainyRoth]

I am happy that you have family. So many of us don’t have family close by and are alone during the holidays. You are blessed.

[@christinelawson7597]

I remember watching the Thanksgiving video when you guys were first pregnant with Jackson. How emotional and incredibly thankful you all were for the love and support from the family. Still one of my favorite videos.

[@deeraines9416]

Hearing your aunt Linda s name made me smile. My family was as well given a gem from Heaven's treasure who spent 57 years with us but she went home during the first week of November. Im so blessed to have had her in my life. Hold her love close. Happy Thanksgiving to you from us.

[@triciacam2223]

I think Lincoln said “Trucks” lol so cute

[@alicearmitage]

20 minute Thanksgiving vlog?! Yes please!!

[@maringlencako5689]

Alice Armitage ikr 😀😃😄😁😆🙂😅😂😂🤣😊

[@jessiecullen9095]

I tell you that Calvin sure has the moves, The ladies are going to love it. Any man that can dance,well you know. LOL so fun

[@marcislaugh7089]

You have the cutest kids ever!! Calvin dancing and sweet Jackson. Lincoln saying penny's name. You have a wonderful family.

[@caroljulian6505]

I think everyone needs an aunt Linda in their family. she makes your family very very very special.

[@missychelle33]

Carol Julian oh my god learn some proper grammar!!!

[@Summernightsprettysights]

missychelle33 That's not grammar, its spelling. Learn the difference before you criticize her.

[@caroljulian6505]

missychelle33 Sorry that I have said that wrong and typed it wrong. I have dyslexia and sometimes my spelling and saying sentences it’s goofed up. and sometimes I don’t recognize when the errors are till later. so before you criticize think what the other person is going through. because I would never criticize someone

[@flawedamour]

Calvin saying "wee, wee" on the swing was SO cute. I love seeing your boys grow up, so glad you decided to vlog and share your lives with us.

[@KAKandJACKS]

Geez now I’m hungry again lol. Really liked how you guys stopped to talk about what you all were grateful for!

[@maggiem22]

aunt linda really is out here living her best life. i’m OBSESSED with her!!!

[@fb9350]

maggie m who is she and why is she like this ?? 💫

[@joanntheman8297]

I know this comment has nothing to do with Thanksgiving, but Ellie I can't get over how GORGEOUS your master bathroom is!!!!😍 You're truly blessed to have such a beautiful house!😊

[@rachelgoss8311]

Joann & The Man I agree sm!!!!

[@xyz-m8p]

I'm from South Korea, living in the States and watching this video really brought me great memories back from when I was younger. Having fun on the swings and playing soccer with my cousins and playing fetch with my grandpa's dog. Thanks for this video, you earend a subscriber!

[@haileymetzgar223]

When Calvin’s on the swing with Ellie it’s literally the cutest thing I’ve seen all day

[@courtneynichole4349]

Ya'll definitely express your gratitude more than enough :) it's so nice to hear ya'll acknowledge us, I think so many vloggers forget they have actual people watching them and forget to actually talk to them. Thank you for always being nice to us and being humble genuine people :)

[@christinekalin3321]

Ellie, I'd love to hear from your parents where/why they picked each of your names. :)

[@bezzbelbo4072]

Tina Powers Ellie’s parents have their own channel called “grandma and grandpa griffiths”

[@sarahb3671]

Tina Powers that would be nice video

[@DaniJean1]

I always wonder if Ellie and Bonnie are they're birth names or if they're nicknames. Do you guys know?

[@DaniJean1]

And Bo too, what is his birth name? Or is it Bo?

[@bezzbelbo4072]

Janine Lee His name is Beau but their family call him Bo-Bo sometimes. Bonnie and Ellie is their full name. Bonnie’s nickname is BonBon 😆

[@teribabe58]

Both your boys are adorable, but...Jackson should be in commercials or movies. He is stunningly handsome. And Ellie, I pray for you to have more babies all the time when I watch your vlogs.

[@ellieandjared]

Thank you! = )

[@honorhonorhonoryay]

Calvin is the cutest!! His little smile and hair are like top notch!

[@SarahBevElizabeth]

Jackson the little actor, and Calvin the dancer! Haha

[@EarlsFamilyVlogs]

Love the boys matching pants! Thanksgiving is such a great time to just take a little more time than normal to truly appreciate family! Loved hearing what everyone is grateful for!

[@robinnieto2703]

Thank you for inviting us for Thanksgiving. Thankful for all of your family and their channels. You are very inspiring.

[@bellarpeterson]

Calvin looked SO much like Jackson in this!!!

[@lesleecheckingin]

Love love love! Big family Thanksgiving is the best thing ever!! Teaching those boys the right way, be thankful.

[@lindsaymcclure7090]

I can't imagine an Ellie without a Jared and a Jared without an Ellie! ❤️ Such a blessing to us all!

[@ilanitadani4946]

My family is just my parents and me. So since I remember myself we've never celebrate holidays. I love watching you guys celebrating life and family and holidays and everyday. Thank you for sharing it. Some of us don't have family to celebrate with. Lots of love. ❤

[@zoemorrischoreography]

Gratitude has changed my life. You can't be happy unless you're grateful first and it has helped me get through so much. I appreciate how you talk about the importance of it and giving to others. I see your blessed and knowing you appreciate it helps me to not get jealous. You are serious the greatest people I'd love to sit down with you sometime. Come back to Washington!

[@nettyhughes6680]

Ellie, I lost my mum 4 years ago and the one memory I have, when I was little my mum use to sit me on her knee on the swing.. Calvin will always remember ur time with you and so will Jackson I’m knew to ur channel and I really enjoy watching u guys

[@ellieandjared]

Thank you for sharing this memory with us! Welcome to the family! = )

[@sacarema]

Thanksgiving always brings family together and I loved watching how your family love to be with each other. You guys were my very first family that I started watching. So great-full for just existing and enjoying family and friends!!!

[@sambina723]

thank you for the reminder to be grateful for the trials. Ive been having kind of a pity party for myself for the past few days cause once again I'm not pregnant and I have to add Femara to my Clomid. But after hearing you guys talk about being grateful for trials I can take a step back and say I am grateful for this trial of trying to get pregnant and even the heartbreak of our miscarriage in July. Its so freaking hard but I can see how I have changed as a person and how humbling this has all been for me.

[@Angelluv5151]

Thanksgiving totally snapped me out of my depression it made me remember what I am thankful for.

[@tiffanyvega-tribull3291]

So incredibly heart-warming. (Along with all the fun memories you shared with us)I really enjoyed that tender moment at the end, when Ellie said "I'm thankful for you." ♥️ Also, when Calvin told Ellie "Mommy's baby" Precious. TFS--Much love

[@maddiedoudney]

although australia doesn't celebrate, I am thankful for you guys making me smile on the daily x happy thanksgiving

[@hahasisters5479]

[@caregiverentrepreurreimagined]

Happy Thanksgiving, Ellie and Jared! Glad y’all got a chance to spend time together with family.

[@15neicey]

Thanksgiving this year was hard for my husband and I. We are overseas and away from our families members back in North Carolina. This year we are thankful that we have each other and our doggies which make up our family out here!

[@easilyamused2009]

Aunt Linda brightens my day every time I see her.

[@princessgrace6057]

I'm grateful I get to watch your thanksgiving and know that I can have a sweet thanksgiving like than one that one day instead of my dysfunctional holiday filled with fighting and discomfort. Thank you for giving me that hope.

[@reneekowalski949]

I had a thought after your discussion about putting up 2 days later,and special holidays. I think it's nice to relive special days later so everyone can focus on their own families and not waiting around for you guys to get the vlogg up. Life is busy! I am a homeschool home of 2 boys and a dog and still find not enough hours in a day to complete everything. Cheers to you!

[@adriannamarie01_]

I hope you and Ellie had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year Jared. Love you guys

[@KrysAtTheCross]

You guys are so blessed! Look at your table surround by family. I love it, makes me feel good just watching you guys!! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@KortneyMac17]

THE GOSPEL!!!! I'm so grateful to have it and to be the person I am today!

[@georgian6459]

Aunt Linda, she's so cute and seems like such a loving lady. Always love seeing her in any of your or your siblings vlogs!!

[@SarahBevElizabeth]

Ellie, you're such an inspiration for me

[@joyce52]

I am grateful for all of you. I am alone and I consider your family mine.

[@ellieandjared]

So happy you feel this way! = )

[@cocinajeia2796]

We are grateful watching you guys every single day. Ang make us smile always and be our inspiration as a parent. Thank you, Ellie and Jared. Love you. 🇵🇭

[@ajmss3822]

It's so comforting seeing such a sweet family, Ellie you look beautiful i really love your new hairstyle

[@ThatDalyLife]

I love how your whole family gets together so often!

[@elizawoolley109]

Calvin looks more and more like Jackson every day!! I love you all so much!

[@amityhargis2537]

It was nice to watch your vlog and see some happiness out of the holiday. Yes, we spent time with family, and being grateful, but a very different view and we ate food neighbors brought instead of us making and spoke about a grandfather's life as we prepared for his funeral the following day, Friday. Holding his wife of 61 years close and letting her know that we love her and need her here too.

[@rosebud7105]

I, too, am grateful for my trials in life. I have learned to be content in the moment of my trials and see it through to the end. Learning to endure to the end....it hasn't been an easy lesson, but now at the age of 39, I'm starting to understand the reason for it. I will say though, we have no family to celebrate the holidays with, most of the time. It makes it difficult and a little quiet when it's just my husband and I pray one day that changes. :) God bless you guys!

[@sujalshah4726]

What a surprise for us. And thanks for making this lovely video love u and ur family!!!

[@ellieandjared]

Thank you! = )

[@ljke]

There were 56 at my family Thanksgiving dinner this year. It was such a blessing.

[@tayzie3775]

[@vanessadearman9687]

[@crazy4weddings]

[@hannahm3565]

OMG I saw that you guys uploaded a video and I was like YES I was so excited to see that you guys had put up a Thanksgiving video and with your whole family! I love how your kids know what Thanksgiving is for and that is just all because of their role models that are their parents (Ellie and Jared). You should be so proud of Jackson and Calvin because they have grown so fast and that the know the meaning of Thanksgiving!! I just want to say that I love you so much!! ❤️😍😘

[@bushcraftbaxter]
