First Time Seeing the Nutcracker! Did They Like It?

[@ColleenVlogs]

I wasn't expecting Maisy to react like that! It was a super busy and hectic weekend! Can't wait for y’all to see Flynn's Birthday Party!

*FUN IDEA FOR ANOTHER TIME😬* ... If there is a way to get some different fabulous looking doughnuts or whatever. Cut everything into equal pieces, have everyone try the same items at the same time, and write down 3 or more words to describe each one. The results will be so fun, either way it goes! Great video, as always!😬😻💚

[@JamesTalksMovies]

Colleen, you were so naturally BORN to be onstage. Your stage presence and the acting in all the clips is incredible!

[@MyrGo-g4h]

Maisy is melting my heart more and more with each video…like it’s painful cuteness 🫠❤

[@TenayaGriffin]

Colleen, girl where you been hiding these musical clips?! You were MADE for that performance in Waitress, I saw it and thought it was so perfect for you. Everyone in the audience was so excited. Keep pursuing! Raise them NYC babies backstage at Broadway! Lol

[@lastminut_laura8014]

Colleen... "Daisy you can't do that" ... Daisy... "I don't know her" 😂😂😂

[@bryselbows]

No freaking way you got donuts from a block away from my apartment, I am forever upset I never run into you!!

[@stephani7557]

I never noticed until you showed the twins Christmas ornaments that M and W were the first letters of their names and M is an upside down W and W is an upside down M. That kind of blew my mind.

[@allisonbeek4736]

Wait… ur right?! Lol I wonder if that was on purpose? (I don’t think she said it before)

[@kanubhatia2304]

Same thought ! Mind=blown😮

[@Sammi_910]

I had my gender reveal for my first baby and it’s a little girl! I’m such an emotional mess getting to register and buy things for my baby girl and I’m just still in shock that I’m even pregnant even though I’ve known for almost 16 weeks. Literally found out at the earliest time I probably could! Her heartbeat is my favorite sound and I can’t wait to meet her!

[@mers624]

Register at target!! They send free diapers and bottles! Was an awesome gift for registry. Congratulations 🎉

[@shadowkissed2370]

Congrats on your beautiful baby girl.

[@allysprow3614]

hi colleen! I loveeeee that you took the kiddos to the nutcracker and wesley vibing to the music melted my heart ❤️

[@sanan297]

Update! I ended up getting my 6 year old a national geographic gemstone advent calendar! He loves it! Every day he gets a new stone that’s been polished and I get to act like I know about them and their names since I’ve learned all my rock knowledge from you haha! Thanks Colleen!

[@bananaplease1767]

My favorite videos are when you just wrap presents and talk to us! I go back and watch your Christmas time vlogs from every year!

[@megans1804]

tortilla talk question: did you tell your kids about Santa and does Santa visit your house every Christmas? have you taken the kids to see Santa yet and will you film it? I love you colleen please never stop posting videos!

[@lindseybaltich7180]

"Thank you mama"❤

[@fawkesonfire9552]

You should get one of those sweaters with a pouch so Daisy can crawl in it while you're on the computer lol

[@cleosworld9096]

I love when people don’t really edit videos those r best videos

[@annabelmartin1]

TTQ: Which of your kids are most like you and Erik when you were younger?? Xx

[@EDucating_Shanny]

TTQ! What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned about yourself in therapy? Or maybe the best piece of advice you’ve been given? How do you fight through and do the work when it gets really extra hard? I’m so proud of you. Your journey has inspired me for the past ten years! Thank you! You are unbelievably brave and strong. Never forget that! Never give up the fight! I believe in you so freaking hard! 💪 WE believe in you!! ❤ I love you and Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁 💜

[@andycbutler]

I love how those mid-2000s wacky print dresses with a belt just aged everyone. Even someone young & gorgeous like you 😂😂😂😂😂

[@paigechambers2208]

I can’t believe you never seen the Nutcracker? GIRL, I go to it every year. I was Mother Ginger my senior year of high school! I absolutely love it. ❤️❤️❤️ This should totally be a tradition that you go every year!!! 💗

[@hilariecalijo4643]

Love the nutcracker! Took my daughter every year from age 3 until she was 6 years old until we moved to another area.

[@willemijn8005]

LOVEEE that you took them to see a ballet✨️✨️🙌 I'm a professional dancer / musical theatre performer, and thats how it started for me - as a 3 or 4 years old OBSESSED with the nutcracker🥰 Also noticed something funny😂 That even in your editing style your adhd (or attention span) comes through. So, I watched the donut section on the Ballinger channel first: calm, elaborate description of the taste of each one, their different opinions on each one etc. Then yours: taste, cut, next, next, next😂😂😂 So funny. Love it✨️

[@dmlove27]

Always look forward to these videos ❤

[@lindamoulton1560]

OMG "I Love You Your Perfect Now Change" That show is freaking brilliant!!!!

[@nazhla]

My favorite part of my day is getting to watch your vlogs ❤ love you Colleen !

[@monicaaa7]

god i am so excited for the day you get back on stage and do a broadway run

[@Dayna-Punky]

Sounds like Maisey is me when I watch TS eras tour on Disney. I can only watch a few mins at a time because I get so overwhelmed.

[@amandashogren8887]

When Daisy came into the video. I randomly said hi Daisy,like she can hear me! But I had to say it. 😂❤

[@lesliemddunham7430]

TTQ: I want to preface this by saying absolutely no judgement coming from me in any way, shape or form. I am genuinely curious at what point in time did parents start celebrating their children’s birthday a week before and making it a birthday week of celebrations leading up to a ginormous celebration at the end of the week. (my husband and I have been married nearly 28 years and we have a 25-year-old and a 24-year-old and I do not recall at any point in time with my own children or in my own life doing multiple celebrations for a birthday. Am I the only one?!?) Much love from Michigan💛✌🏻💛

[@nikkij2227]

We usually do a small gathering on my kids actual birthday- then a party for extended family and friends on a weekend

[@jilliemills28]

TTQ: Have you ever seen Funny Girl the musical? I am a in-the-closet theater kid, who is too afraid to show it because I think I will get made fun of. If you have can you sing a song from it? Love you thank you for everything! PS you are doing great in life we love you.

[@annabelmartin1]

TTQ: Have you got any funny stories about your theatre days? I did college theatre and the tea that went down OH MY - luv ya x

[@CraiginOhioUSA]

Find Your Grail....❤❤❤ I love the lower register. What a Christmas gift, thank you Colleen!!!

[@Tina_Rinaaa]

TTQ: random question, but have you ever had dreams from Miranda's pov or with her as a side character in them? My husband and I were talking about whether actors have dreams as the characters they play or not and it made me think of you! ❤ya!!

[@morganfern29]

8:22 I love your shirt. Where did you get that candy cane shirt at? TTQ: I honestly can’t remember now, but in your DIY advent Y2K calendar, did you unbox an etcher sketch or a doodle board? I loved both toys when I was a young girl. Love your vlogs. Your family is so adorable and sweet.

[@SherryBaby1107]

Love the Nutcracker I used to go every year and really want to see it again!! TT: is it strange to live in the same area you grew up now with your own kids?? I loved watching your performances!! You just have a true talent and I know you will be on the stage again!!

[@carrieburk9559]

TTQ: You looked so pretty with your candy cane top and stunning earrings! I know watching your self on old videos is like hearing your voice on an answering machine haha - how do you stand to watch yourself as you edit your vlogs? LOL I would die!

[@unicornhypnotist]

"They taste earthy" Are you sure they aren't 🍃edibles 😂

[@luminous_1_]

TTQ: are you guys doing Elf on the Shelf this year? My son is five and I feel like this is the first year he finally gets it, and he is so excited every morning to discover where our elf has moved to. It’s been so much fun and it’s really feeding my creative and crafty side - I know you will be able to relate!

[@joybranch-londesborough6617]

Your advent would make great stocking stuffers!

[@skeller7474]

LOVE that candy cane sweater!

[@MsV405]

YAY! You went to the Nutcracker on my birthday! I went to the Nutcracker on the 13th for an early bday present. I love anything ballet!

[@SweetieMcPetey]

Love, love, loved your footage from past musicals! Would love to see more of that (Patreon maybe??) ❤

[@ActingFool75]

TTQ: Hey Colleen it is Carlos your baker from Charleston, SC!! I LOOOOVEE ILYPNC!!!! It’s on my bucket list of shows to do! Do you still have a bucket list? If so, what are your top 3 bucket list shows and why? ❤❤❤

[@playwithmeinsecondlife6129]

I love you Colleen!

[@katemedcraft]

Colleen's reaction to the Grinch donuts is exactly why I don't bother with all these expensive fad foods or fancy restaurants. They're always just yuck.

[@bananaplease1767]

TTQ: I’m 18 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I’m still so sick every day. How far along did you stop being sick? I don’t know how much longer I can handle this.

[@laurenschenck5355]

Haha, the word you put on the Lite Brite is very Colleen. 😂 I used to love all those toys, too!

[@melaniemay8742]

Maisy is starting to look like you Colleen!! I can definitely see it now :)

[@nicolelylewis]

Colleen! Have you shown the kids the Barbie version of the Nutcracker? I remember watching that movie and I remember getting the dolls for Christmas and birthdays (it was usually one or two at a time, haha). They were some of my favorite Barbie’s I had!

[@carinaalba21]

Colleen! Please share tips and tricks how to successfully potty train your toddler

[@alwayzjello]

I loved lite brite so much! I don't think I've played with it since the 80's though.

[@xoregina21]

I do not remember the show "I love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" but you just unlocked a memory that I have seen it!! lol Don't remember a single thing about it hahaha

[@75miadwn]

My wrapping paper has the exact same pattern as maisys nutcracker dress!

[@sophiaorlando]

A very silly tortilla talk question - do you ever accidently call Daisy Maisy or Maisy Daisy? My name is Sophia and I grew up with a dog named Silvia. My parents would get us mixed up all the time LOL!

[@marcelata8078]

Love ur vlogs!💛💙❤️💜💚

[@MsV405]

TTQ: Knowing the stresses of showbiz, how encouraging would you be if any of your children wanted to be a theatre kid?

[@sierrasteinert6336]

TTT: Hi Colleen, I hope you’re doing well. I was wondering if you can circle back and talk about your house issues and potential move? So sorry to hear you’re going through that during the holidays. Take care ❤️

[@alwayzjello]

You look so much like Rachel in that spamalot clip for some reason. It's cool to see.

[@lilamendelsohn4]

TTQ: Do you still keep in contact with Ariana Grande?

[@katiemcclelland]

[@laurenm666]

TTQ- do you have any formal dance training to pass along to Maisie to help her love of ballet?

[@raeperonneau4941]

Daisy is the reincarnation of Gloria Swanson ~ “I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille”

[@Elainasmith..]

TTQ: I remembered that you called your mom’s mom Miss Ruby! What do the twins call all of your family? I know they call your mom grandma but what about your brothers and cousins?

[@chaz12582]

TTQ: how stressful is trying to start a live show? Just waiting for the SASS live show thinking I would have sweated through 4 shirts by now.😝

[@courtneystokes6483]

[@shadowkissed2370]

[@sierrasteinert6336]

TTQ: Do you foresee any of your kids being in theatre production, if so, who? ❤️ xoxo

[@heatherastbury4339]

Love you all

[@bizbethj]

There's a lot of toxic chemicals in deodorant, and it's personally up to you what you're comfortable exposing your body to, but at the very least, I would suggest getting an aluminum free deodorant.

[@AnnaO195]

TTQ: Has Flynn ever watched the little Mermaid? I bet he'd love it!

[@marieshively4999]

Tatia question Does the kids go see the chicken

[@kristalvanhouten1228]

Hi Colleen 👋🏻 I heard from one of your past recent vlogs you said you were moving. Is that true? Hello from Indiana.👋🏻😃

[@hersha777]

TTQ: What are some of your highlights/favorite moments from 2024?

[@Dominic-u9z]

Ariana grande

[@aleta5873]

Very good.

[@jodydyson8648]

I finally found a deodorant I like, it's called "no pog" works, hate the nutcracker so long and boring

[@SEYEBONOMUSIC-2]

LOL!!! 😂

[@ke8182]

You need to watch Dr. Dray on KZbin. She's a dermatologist and debunks all the "aluminium is poison" brands like to push so you'll buy their "natural" deodorant lol. It's not poison so don't worry! And TTQ: How did you handle fear of miscarriage in the first trimester? I'm pregnant with my second child and it's SUPER early. Moms understand the fear that exists during this time. ❤

[@erinlefevre1]

thank you for reminding me to put on deodorant after my shower :)

[@NicoAlcock-y1n]

Who else loves Colleen vlogs?

[@abimoreno4323]

I like your video Colleen
