First Christmas in Our New Home with Aunt Linda - 2023

[@elizabethnguyen745]

Girl, you did it. You put on the happiest face possible and you still managed to make magic for your kids. Girls can do hard things, and you certainly did this Christmas. From one mom to another, I see you. ❤

[@CrystalVlogss]

I agree with this so much! I could see her hurt, but I could also see her joy. We love you Bonnie!

[@bonniehoellein]

Crying at your comment ♥️♥️

[@bethan-maejames1170]

That moment after the kids have run off with excitement, you could just see her sat there and it broke my heart. 😩

[@FreakingLuna]

@@bethan-maejames1170 i cried my eyes out at that, i cant even imagine the pain she's feeling.

[@BMFL420]

Joel being so stoked on their presents and wanting to inspect everything is so him, and so cute! I love the excitement that pours out of Joel when hes doing or experiencing something he enjoys! He is such a good man! So tender and kind. You guys are a beautiful family!

[@Georgie883]

The beautiful screensaver on the tv, the fire crackling, the hue of the Christmas tree lights against the dark sky and the kids opening presents in their Christmas jammies. This is the cosiest Christmas scene I can possibly think of ❤

[@lwfuqua]

I love Aunt Linda's JOY when she is opening presents!

[@sandyc6569]

Same!! 💗

[@Mrs_Solis]

It’s so contagious ❤

[@CharlieRenee1719]

It's so wonderful to see. She makes it magical!

[@trekeel9751]

She gets too excited🤣🤣

[@misti7400]

Aunt Linda has the pure joy of a child that will never be lost ❤

[@heathermelton8444]

I know this wasn’t an easy time for you, but you and Joel made such a beautiful, magical Christmas for Linda and the kids!! I hope 2024 brings you peace and many blessings…….

[@lucybrowne3090]

I just love how Linda calls Joel ‘Mark’. She is just the sweetest ❤❤

[@BMFL420]

Me too! It's so sweet and funny every time. The way he just accepts it is so sweet.

[@christinafeeken6526]

Jared is Mark as well lol

[@Lisa_Uncensored]

I was wondering who Mark was 😆

[@AbigailJoyDaniels]

Why did Aunt Linda saying “Merry Christmas, Mark” make me so emotional 🥹 she’s so precious

[@barbhawkinson659]

When Aunt Linda reached over and took your hand and then you patted her shoulder it touched my heart to tears. Bonnie I'm so happy she was with you for Christmas 💞

[@bonniehoellein]

I loved that too

[@nikimiddleton1836]

Oh I just came here with tears in my eyes to write that!! Such a sweet moment!!

[@amclaudet]

I noticed that too

[@heather_smallwood]

She's so precious. I loved how she listened and waited her turn, asking Olivia each time before opening a gift. She's a sweet soul. That motherly pat on the hand was so endearing. Does anyone know why they've stopped calling her "Aunt Linda" and simple call her "Linda" now?

[@beckymoran321]

Aunt Linda’s excitement is so adorable! Congratulations on your 1st Christmas in your new home!

[@dianeh.3327]

So happy you take Aunt Linda for the holidays . Your Mom and Dad left her in the best hands possible. What a fun Christmas in your new house! Making your first memories.

[@kristenromaniello8889]

I have been having a hard time lately (anxiety and what not) but seeing you put a smile on your face and keep going through everything is inspiring. The world spins madly on, and you can either sit and wallow or be an active participant. Thanks for reminding me to be an active participant, Bonnie! Happy New Year!🎉🤍

[@__MC__MC__]

You’ve shouldered a lot taking over the oldest sister role in the family over the last few years.❤

[@schenellefrancis6874]

This christmas looked and felt different i remember watching last year and it was hard. This was harder. But what i loved is watching from the corner of the room. Seeing Bonnie just relax and soak it in. My heart is so light but at the same time so heavy. Well done for making it happen for the kids including Linda. Magic of christmas

[@marlasturgill8306]

I love it when you have Aunt Linda at your home! She’s precious too me, her excitement when she opens a gift it’s priceless I truly enjoy watching her!! I had an Aunt Linda in my life and she know longer with us! So when Aunt Linda was first on your parents videos it was like seeing and hearing my Aunt Linda I just cried because it was so sweet seeing Aunt Linda being loved on by her entire family! I can say this, you guys have taken great care of Aunt Linda she’s blessed to have a family who loves her and enjoys her too the fullest. Most are put in those assistant living and their families forget all about them, and that’s so heart breaking. My Mother worked for one and she said it was so sad on the Holidays because most didn’t have family to come be with them.. My Mother was very attached to them and she treated each one as it was her Mother or her Daddy. She made sure they were well dressed truly my Mother was an Angel and they loved her... She know longer works, she has very bad knees and if she wasn’t in so much pain she would still be their and she’s 77yrs young! I like how your children are with Aunt Linda it’s the sweetest... I’m glad you and Joel enjoyed Christmas I know this year has been ruff at times! Just know you have a prayer warrior who prays for you and your entire family!! That’s a promise and I’ll continue you too because I know that prayers can change things... Until next year I pray that you guys have a Blessed New Year!!! It’s well deserved Bonnie!!

[@lowissmilez]

Bonnie!!! I’ve been watching you for so so many years and I’m just proud of you for being such a kind and loving mum despite what you’re going through! You’re so strong and watching this reminded me of the beauty of family and gratitude ❤❤❤❤❤

[@baileyprill]

This was pure magic! As down right horrible this year as been for your family, this is much needed. You taking Aunt Linda under your wing is so special. The kiddos are sooo good & sweet with her. You have taught them so well. You should be all damn proud!You have the biggest heart. May god bless you in 2024. ❤

[@beverlysmith5474]

This was beautiful to see. Proud of you, mama. You and Joel did this even in the hardest time imaginable, and the love in your home is evident. ❤

[@nicolewalk7871]

Thank you for sharing Linda’s pure heart. And Boston’s comments about how it is such a fun Christmas was so sweet and tender. This video showed the true meaning of Christmas.

[@amclaudet]

You have the best kids, Bonnie! They are respectful and thankful and I love it ❤

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

Bonnie, way to go! As hard as I’m sure it was, you and Joel succeeded in making a wonderful Christmas for your family. Aunt Linda and Christmas is a match made in heaven. Thank you and your sweet children for sharing this special time with us. ❤

[@loriyensho2053]

This was so sweet and cozy. I literally felt like I was there with you. So precious. Your kids and Aunt Linda made some beautiful memories! I literally had tears watching Lincoln climb in and out of your lap. He was so happy and soaking in every minute. So sweet and innocent. I loved it! ❤

[@omaopa6923]

In another 40 minutes it will be 2024 here in Melbourne Australia so Happy New Year everyone 🎉

[@Erica_Gee]

Happy New Year!

[@dmnhntrbbygrl666]

Happy new year from Perth :) 🎉

[@coxco350]

Happy Holidays! The house and family is beautiful can’t wait for new videos next year!

[@keeliajo9858]

I love how you guys don't go overboard on christmas and get the kids things they. need and want but its not excessive. The kids are so grateful for what they get and because they don't get an insane amount of presents they can keep track of what they got and are excited to use and play with each gift. I know it was such a hard year for you, I hope you and Joel felt some peace and christmas joy watching your kids and Linda enjoy the magic of Christmas!

[@mathewsmith4646]

I just love the pure joy aunt Linda has for Christmas it warms the heart and heals the soul, gob bless you Linda

[@avahcantrell5569]

The love and faith your family exploits is contagious, merry Christmas and happy new year !

[@deidrekoehler2882]

I remember last Christmas (I think it was), when Linda was up and down almost all night Christmas Eve! This definitely was a Christmas miracle you needed! Christmas without Linda’s laughter and excitement would be a total loss for me, I love her enthusiasm and laughter! Also, the way she reacted to you and “Mark” kissing was hysterical. What a beautiful Christmas in your beautiful home! Your house, with the beautiful scenery and design inside really is perfect! Merry Christmas to your family!

[@novasoto5092]

What a wonderful Christmas! Wishing you All a Happy New Year! "Merry Christmas Mark" Aunt Linda❤😂❤

[@emilypeterson1393]

Merry Christmas!! When linda grabbed your hand when you guys were on the couch, it just brought me to tears. I could feel the love! Everything looks beautiful.

[@laurasorrell9713]

Bonnie, I can’t express enough how much I love you and your sisters and all the kids watching you guys gives me a happy heart to know there are good people out there. Unfortunately I think I have met most of the bad people that treat their children like crap, so it makes me happy to see your family Julie’s family and Ellie you all are raising some fine human beings. Thank you for sharing your life with me. Hope you all have a wonderful new year. See you next year bye

[@lizangell714]

Bonnie you have a pure heart of gold. Wonderful to see real joy and happiness in your beautiful home. Wish your parents a joyful and peaceful Christmas wherever they are rn. God is with us❤

[@lindagailsch]

Such a beautiful Christmas. Just the joy of seeing the kids & Aunt Linda open gifts. Shes so blessed to have you to share Christmas with.

[@HB-wn4mb]

Merry Christmas!! Looks like you had so much fun! I always love seeing Linda hangout with the family, she is so sweet and you can see how much you all love her!

[@sherylbridle9158]

Bonnie I see you sitting in the corner of the video thinking. Enjoy this day with your wonderful family. That God for your ability to be a very good mother daughter and wife. These achievements don't come without a lot of effort and more. Merry xmas and happy new year to all your family....everyone please❤️❤️❤️

[@irockthefx]

You are truly the best mom, Bonnie! I love being able to watch your Christmas vlogs and feel the magic through your family. So happy for you to be in your new home with happy, healthy kids and dog. And of course aunt Linda! Hope you all have an amazing New Year, you and your family deserve the world!

[@Xrbaa]

one of my favourite videos of the year from you Bonnie! Hope you all have a lovely time celebrating x

[@leannadanna17]

❤ Bonnie ❤️ I can see your heart hurting. And it’s going to for a long time because you have a heart of pure gold that just can’t fathom this situation. But I can see you holding your chin up pretty momma for your family and for the whole world to see y’all’s strength. Although I’m sure you don’t feel like it, you are so very beautifully strong.

[@bonniehoellein]

🤍🤍🤍

[@sandyc6569]

I wanna wish everyone a safe and Happy New Years! May 2024 bring you lot's of fun and great memories!! 🎊🎊🎊

[@crusathekoala]

From one mom to another. You did good! Putting smiles on your kids faces. Youre winning in the face of hardships. Happy holidays

[@elizabritton4039]

This is my most favorite vlog yall have done. Part of it is knowing you built this house in such a way for family. Seeing it and knowing how hard you worked, seeing the kids and yall relaxed in your Christmas pjs, Linda, Lady. Also, knowing Joel and yall can relax. Its been a long build.

[@allierae1010]

Mark “Are You Serious” Hoellein 😂😂😂😂😂 love you guys ❤️

[@brookekelly12]

This video was so wholesome! Aunt Linda calling Joel “Mark” and Joel’s “Are you serious” stole the show! ❤❤❤

[@daniellewilkinson3403]

Despite everything, all the hurt and anger, you still made sure christmas was magical for your babies. Well done Bonnie x

[@austicampbell2392]

My heart melts when you and Aunt Linda held hands and she just patted your arm. The sweetest moment 💕

[@corinac872]

Watching this in July 2024, I was wondering if this was the vlog Lincoln opened Linda's Bra's! That must have been 2022!! Lol! You guys definitely made some amazing memories and took great care of Aunt Linda!!!

[@TemptingRed1]

its so sweet of you all to share this , I hope your mom and dad enjoy it to have a great vacation time be safe and happy!

[@duckyone20]

I hope you and Joel still had your special time together Christmas Eve. The scene of the tree and screensaver over the fire was just the perfect ambience for the video. I hope you look back at this first year in the new house and see how you over came so many hard things and how you made your kids and Aunt Linda last hearts so so happy. I hope 2024 is a much better year for you all💜

[@Trust_In_Christ77]

Bonnie I love you & your family more than you'll ever know! I look up to you like the big sister that I never got to have that has helped me get through some really dark times by watching your videos & being so invested in you and your family that there is no way that I could ever thank you for! After being a viewer since you were pregnant with Lincoln, I have always watched every single one of your videos (going back through the videos you posted since before I was a subscriber) I have never left a comment until this very one right now. I just wanted to say that I love you so much and God Bless You, Joel, Olivia, Boston, Cody, Lincoln & Aunt Linda ❤

[@aoifemurray297]

MERRY CHRISTMAS Unfortunately, we lost another dog so I appreciate your videos so much

[@emilyunger8589]

Merry Christmas Bonnie and family. A quote that came to mind was something like "no one understands the strength it takes to pull yourself out of a dark place mentally". In this video you managed to do that and create a magical Christmas morning for your kids and family Bonnie and should be super proud of yourself! ❤

[@ashleyolson9559]

so glad aunt Linda enjoyed Christmas with you all! It's always so heartwarming to see her. We all love her!

[@elizabritton4039]

[@kinleighwhitehurst8670]

I love that they all take turn opening presents. My family didn’t do that but think it’s a great Idea and i’m so use to watching y’all do it this way I didn’t even notice till Bonnie said something about It lol.

[@sadielynnnn]

I’m so glad aunt Linda has you guys. And vice versa. I think this year has been definitely a lot going on for you guys definitely being in the public eye. So it is nice just seeing you guys kind of slow down and enjoy yourself. The best you can. But also get to spend some good time with aunt Linda. I can’t wait to see what 2024 holds for you and your family. I’m sure aunt Linda is going to miss you guys on your roadtrip. Will you be home for Easter to see her? I don’t. Recall how long it will be again.

[@loripeck4805]

Boston and Lincon were so sweet and filled with the Christmas spirit. Good job Santa!!!!! Merry Christmas. Hopefully Aunt Linda will be reunited with your parents soon.
