Gift Exchange! | Secret Santa!

[@divahc1]

I love how thoughtfully Brinley chose gifts for Jaimie.

[@bridgwll]

Not hard to buy for Jamie.

[@divahc1]

@bridgwll 🙄

[@cherylbrookshire3290]

Yes she it very thoughtful gifts the Jamie I agree!! 🤗❤️

[@karlaruter3221]

She is a sweet girl.

[@nancyfarkas3592]

That’s how we should all be. Buy gifts the person wants or would like. Not what WE think they would like.

[@brendad940]

An almost 30 minute video from you guys and a 45 minute one from Crystal....Merry Christmas to us! Thank you for all the love throughout the years you guys. You can ALWAYS be counted on to make me feel better no matter what is going on around me. Much love to you all from Wilsonville Oregon

[@lindageorge6174]

A lot of times an expiration date is just a suggestion! I think the lemon juice is just fine! It was totally closed and airtight so it should be fine! The time you need to pay attention to an expiration date is when it's fresh food, like meat or vegetables, where things like cottage cheese or sour cream!

[@purdyhen7903]

It’s just a shelf date, so that grocery stores can rotate out products! It would have been perfectly fine!

[@nancyfarkas3592]

It was brown! Lemon juice isn’t brown. A Best Buy date is just a guess yes but that,doesn’t mean it won’t go,bad. Six months past the date is a bit much

[@DebSWinchester]

Yes, that is how the lemon juice is supposed to look. It’s condensed. The lemon juice is fine & wouldn’t hurt anyone to drink.

[@nancyfarkas3592]

No. It’s not brown. I It’s supposed to be yellowish

[@elisawestvirginiamountainm1019]

The lemon juice would be ok. The dates on foods are mainly for the stores to know when to purge shelves.

[@graciemaez]

Making gluten free for the crazy pieces was so sweet and thoughtful. I bet they felt included ❤️

[@daphtahquette9242]

Love seeing the cousin's together. The fun and friendship is so special

[@ednanelson1897]

I love the cousin gift exchange. It was so sweet to see how much thought they put into each gift. I love that they included Bishop and Richard in the gift exchange.

[@healthhappiness5507]

Shelly, since Brinley is letting her hair rest from braids, she should use Carol's Daughter products. They are sulfur free and will bring out her natural curls and moisturize her hair. Trey and Kason can use the products too.

[@queenbee8235]

​@@brendad940you are definitely white babes. All of those aside from native American are white ethnicities. Be proud to be white and exactly who you are. ❤❤❤

[@nicolemoses2527]

That made me smile that you guys made a gluten free pasta bake for the kids and Aaron for dinner. 🥹 That was very thoughtful. ♥️

[@geraldinelever1999]

Just love this family and Jacob is such a sweetheart and kind and a favourite of the girls xxx

[@marypomeroy]

I really love how you guys have adopted Devon as a part of the family. I have a family that has done the same for me. It’s so nice, especially this time of year!

Jared the spaghetti baked looked delicious . You can tell both families had a great time. Enjoyed and thank you for sharing🎄🎄❄️❄️🎅🎅☃️☃️❤️❤️

Hello Crazy Middles, Hope you read this: Merry Christmas Crazy Middles🎄🎄🎅🏼🎅🏼⛄️⛄️❄️❄️🎁🎁know you wanted your privacy but had to send you a wish❤

[@att5616]

Tip for Aubrey: it might be a food allergy that causes your headaches. I had headaches almost everyday and then I stopped eating/drinking everything with dairy because I have been sensitive to it my whole life, and most of my headaches stopped. After almost 5 years, I have slowly started putting it back in my diet, but I don't make things with a lot of dairy in, then I will use coconut milk instead. Maybe you could try to stop eating hot chips for a month and see if it helps

[@RobinsNest-759]

I agree! I posted the same thing before. Get her off the caffeine! That's what's causing her headaches!@@SnailWhales

[@lynnmorones7428]

Too much caffeine from energy drink. That is so bad.. and she's so young to start with that already. No need for that at her age. It's caffeine withdrawls!

[@melissahertle9241]

What is the spaghetti bake recipe?

[@gmf717]

Perhaps cut back on the caffiene and increase the prayer. My family and I worry about all of the kids, but Aubs the most. What can we do to help her through this headache h-e-double hockey sticks. We pray for Aubrey 4 times a day and Landon once. We will rotate out prayer schedule nect month. If Aubs feel better we will cutit down to 3 times daily for Aubs, once for Lando, and once for Braxton. We pray for Aubs at 6am, 8am, and 4pm. We will be praying for Landon at 1130 am. These times are alll eastern standard time. Pleae join us.

[@sarariggs7227]

The energy drinks, the red 40 food dye in the hot chips… the dairy, there’s A LOT of factors that could trigger the migraines…

[@cazb7806]

Very thoughtful making a glutton free one along side the other 2 normal spaghetti bakes. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their gifts. Love the craziness when you all get together. Blessings.

[@abigailbailey6849]

Love how everybody enjoyed their gifts. Also love that you guys were accommodating with the gluten-free that was super amazing.

[@scrappingscootergirl]

Merry Christmas Wallace and Pettit Families! Merry Christmas Joe! Such a drag when your stylist moves away! Migraines are horrible-hugs Aubrey, hope you feel better quick! Merry Christmas Bishop and Family!

[@laurasmyth6296]

I love Marks sense of humour 😄

[@gmf717]

I cannot wait to meet Brinley's new hair stylist. Youir family brings my family so much joy. Without you, there is no laughter, no joy, no love. With you, all things are possible. Good luck Trey, I believe in you!

[@bethwilt3483]

Looks like tons of fun. Love how you guys include Devin in all your family gatherings and outings. Devin sure seems like a wonderful man. You can truly tell how my thoughtfulness goes into the gift exchange. Love your family. Merry Christmas to Crazy Middles. ❤❤

[@laciekay89]

Who exactly is Devin?; I've missed so much there's a few people I haven't seen before

[@wowia]

🥰 love both of crazy familys are and how sweet and funny all are 😍 This is one reason I love watching these ,when own plans goes up in the mountains

[@r_dylx]

Yh I agree with Kylie, when we do Secret Santa (usually at work), we don't say/know who got it for you, even when opening.

[@ddinottia39]

I need the recipe Jared of your spaghetti bake! 2 of my favorite families! I love cousins gift exchange! 🎁 ❤

[@lizregan1949]

Such a fun video. You should have done the chips on the table with the foil that would be so funny. ❤❤ That is funny drink more of it if you get sick we will throw it out. Mom of the year I really laugh.

[@OfficialEROG]

Love seeing the cousins! I think the lemonade would have been fine! Lemon juice will mostly just ferment like a pickle and can’t get you drunk lol. Love you guys!

[@Collins-k7u]

I love all the crazy people in the family, the names and the amazing hearts that both you sisters have and the amazing husband's you each found to give all these beautiful children a loving and blessed home life. I pray that you two couples started a trend in each of those children for the next 10 generations. Thank you for the love

[@elisawestvirginiamountainm1019]

Jared, can you share your recipe for spaghetti bake? Also, Shelly, I have the big platter that matches your pitcher and punch bowl.

[@debbywickman1103]

Jamie gives the best hugs. So much fun in a big family

[@kristinisbell7434]

Have Aubrey drink salt water when she gets headaches!! Sounds weird but low on sodium can cause headaches!

[@ashleyriley1179]

Love how Cody came in and checked the oven then problem solved the bread problem lol. I do the same

[@Cassiesibbitt]

This is my favorite time of year! The family gift exchanges!! ❤ and I love that you guys included bishop!

Brinley looks so cute with her hair up like she is wearing it today! She has such a pretty face!

[@vidream]

The lemon juice was fine😂 you would have starved in my house. Our food usually came from food pantry type places and was almost always past the sell by date. 😂 I laughed so much at that part ❤

[@DiamondDollJeanette1]

My grandmother did this and it drove me nuts. She got mad when i threw out ranch dressing 3 years old

[@vidream]

Commercially produced lemon juice that has been bottled should be stored in the refrigerator once opened and lasts for 6-12 months.

[@BrittanyMontgomery0730]

Just wanted to say I enjoy watching you guys so much!! I look forward to watching your videos ♥️ makes my days brighter!

I take magnesium every day & it helps with migraines. I’ve also heard that eating celery helps.

You are the only people in the world that are good at macking good KZbin videos.

Hello crazy Middles thank you so much for sharing another wonderful and amazing video sorry I am watching this late you are amazing people and I absolutely love your channel and how kind and loving your family is thank you again for sharing ❤❤❤❤

Mindy and her wrapping strategy is hysterical!

[@hydiereyes4238]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year indeed, love that you’re keeping the tradition. Exchanging gifts is fun and some really made the effort with thoughtful gifts. 👍🏼👍🏼Jared for prepping a gluten free pasta for Aaron, Halie and Hanna. Where’s Lacey and Bex?

[@tiffanylindsay]

I did watch Crazy pieces video before watching yours lol with the underwear involved plus Cody calling Bella Hannah lol. Love watching all your videos. I hope the girls are all enjoying their own rooms still.

[@mikafairystar]

Common cause of headaches in kids and teen is dehydration. I recommend gaterade and water rather than soda, energy drinks.

[@kellyatwell3493]

Have Aubrey try taking magnesium daily for her headaches. Lol I think Addison has officially beaten Kiley in the drama department lol

[@teresastuart4383]

I love how you include your employees😁

It is awesome.

I love seeing the cousins together , they should do a channel with all the cousins where they play games and hangout outdooors

[@karensaurage1120]

The cousin games. I love that idea.

[@Stephrp613]

in our house we use the saying when in doubt throw it out. I think that was a good call Shelly!

[@barbarawhite5466]

Dehydration and the time of the month issues are just a couple of things that could be what are causing the headaches, and we are praying that you will have better days ahead, feel better soon and merry Christmas and happy healthy new year to you all.😊❤😊

[@lindageorge6174]

Did you get Aubrey's magnesium checked, sometimes that can cause bad headaches, and so can be in low in B vitamins!

[@thomasbrosnan9966]

I love kiley's hair straight!! It looks great!! Sorry if I misspelled your name

[@purdyhen7903]

Mindy, I do the exact same thing! I don’t leave any seems open! I’m known for my wrapping! 😂

[@nonondriessen]

Thank you for sharing and showing WHO and HOW you are. So considerate of Jared to cook a part of glutenfree food. The random updates and anecdotes are entertaining and relatable. A quality vlog! On a side note and without disrespect: the laughs of Grandma Joanne and Aunt Bonnie always remind of the giggles of twins geese Amelia and Abigail Gabble from the Aristocats 😊 Wishing you all happy season celebrations in good health and spirits, with the family members who couldn't be present this time. Take good care ✨️😊🎁🎊

Hi Shelly, I have a suggestion for helping to get rid of the headache. I used to have migraines that I tried chiropractor. After a few visits my headaches went away. Baked spaghetti looks delicious. I love watching your videos 🥰🥰love from Canada 🥰🥰🥰

[@amyrivers4093]

Brinley you are blessed with such a beautiful face and however you wear your hair you look gorgeous. I'm impressed by how you know exactly what Jaime would want. You put a lot of thought into all the gifts you got her. I'm so excited for you to have your own room, you are growing into an amazing young lady. It's obvious that you bring a lot of joy to your family. Merry Christmas to you and your family.😊

[@sabbs2296]

Crystal should even put her hair! She does amazing job with hair. Also I love how the family is so close even with the other family members ( crazy pieces, ECT)

[@beloftex43]

When I put a shelf life on stuff usually it's to sell more . Stuff like lemon juice is probably okay for another year after it's expiration date.

[@annamalterer]

Love your videos I always look forward to them

[@tiggerhaines4307]

Looks like everyone loved their gifts and had an amazing time. The food looks so yummy. Hugs 💕💕

“When in doubt, throw it out.” I’m glad you poured out the first lemonade.

[@achristinefinn]

Headaches are the worse I get them alot an sometimes turn to migraines 😕, but what works for me is a dark room, no noise and a cold cloth over my eyes! ❤❤

[@BoyMom115]

Bottled lemon juice is safe for a few months after the expiration date. Once opened it should be used within one to two months and kept in the refrigerator. Also, not a fair judgment of Addison’s hair, considering she has parts of it curled and other parts of it that aren’t curled as tight so the bits that are more curly are going to be shorter than the other bits

[@tleej81]

Aubrey I'm so sorry you're having issues with headaches. Both my mom and I suffer horribly from them. They could last us 3-4 days, sensitive to light, nausea and vomiting. I've gone and ruled out sinuses at my ENT Dr. and he referred me to Neurology. My Neurologist actually put me on a maintenance injection (1 shot I give myself 1x a month) called Ajovy and it's worked WONDERS. My mom and I also take a little under the tongue dissolvable tab called Nurtec. I use this if for some reason my Ajovy doesn't work; it's very rare it doesn't. If you haven't already though, I highly recommend seeing a Neurologist and ENT to rule out potential causes. May want to see if there's a food trigger. Keep an eye out what you eat when your headaches present themselves.

[@andreaelliott728]

Aubrey’s headaches could be from many things, but don’t forget the chiropractor! If your Atlas and/or Axis, which are the top two vertebrae under your skull are out of whack you’ll have major headaches and other issues. Being on our phones, looking down at screens, laying in bed, sitting w/bad posture, all can cause our spines to misalign.

[@rileyfields6794]

I used to come home from school with really bad headaches and finally went to the doctor and found out I needed glasses! Have Aubrey check her eyesight! Food and caffeine can also play a part in headaches! I hope that helps:)

[@rachelmiller2063]

Track your headaches and what you ate or drank in the day it can also be related to your cycle.

[@Anqiliaq]

Addison i feel you on the *i don’t want glasses thing*

[@littlemissgiggles165]

Honestly glasses are not that bad. I have been wearing them for over 20 years now and feel weird without them. Contacts were not for me as they turned inside out on a few occasions when trying to put them in
