[@tugboatgirl1296]

I think it is so nice that you share the gifts you receive. I was so touched that find the time to write thank you cards to us even when you were not feeling well or sad. Love your genuine caring family!

[@brilliantbutblue]

Yes, this family really stands out in the YT world ❤

[@lisafilly464]

I respect that you take your families privacy to heart!! Somethings aren’t meant to be shared and I wish other KZbinrs would follow suit. Your children and family are yours alone to have family time. Happy New Year and baby girl will be here before you know it!!

[@juliem42]

I agree , family time is very special

I cannot get over how much Everett reminds me of my son at that age- in looks (glasses and all) and personality. My son is almost 20 now, but wow- it takes me back. Have a blessed New Year!

[@brilliantbutblue]

Sweet Everett, Life savers are originally created in America, whilst we love them in Australia they are American. I hope Santa found you on Christmas Day with lots of toys and books. 😊

[@shirleyperry8593]

Awesome.. I'm from Australia and didn't know that. Learning every day x

[@Jenngail22]

I actually think they are originally made in Canada, that’s what I always thought lol

[@brilliantbutblue]

@Jenngail22 : I thought they were Australian as we make them in Australia. However, they are, in fact, originally created in Ohio America, actually didn't realise this until l had seen them in American Costco videos. I think the flavours vary around the world so it's always nice to see what other countries have. 😊

[@brilliantbutblue]

@shirleyperry8593 : I grew up thinking they were Australian. My favourite as a child was the five flavours in the roll. I wish they still made that one.

[@Jenngail22]

@@brilliantbutblue here in Canada we have the lifesavers gummies in cherry, lime, pineapple, grape, and orange flavour, also in those flavours but hard candy ones, also have peppermint and spearmint hard candy lifesavers.

[@kelliepineda9822]

my goodness Bennett looks like he's grown so much since Thanksgiving n even more like his dad crazy how fast they grow n change at thus age ( all ages)

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

He has grown so much!! Hunter and Bennett are becoming men and I can hardly believe it.

[@kelliepineda9822]

@@ThisAlaskaLife they will be great protectors for baby sister l9l

[@SuzGetsItTogether]

Been checking every morning and so glad to see a video just to know that you all are continuing to enjoy the holidays and Baby continues to grow! Happy new year Hamms. We love you 🙏🏻❤️

[@gillianmellin8315]

If you take the lids off halfway through oven cooking it will go crispy and brown on top of the onion soup. Delicious!

You are looking so much better…stay well and looking forward to February ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦

[@stacyrussell460]

Agreed! Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's stores are quite the experience. I love walking around & looking at everything. It gives us a lot of ideas for camping trips. Happy New Year, Hamm Family!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Yes, so much to look at!

Happy and healthy 2024 to you all. May this be your best year yet.

[@theresabetancourt4586]

We do have Lifesavers in America😍 Maybe seeing them in the bag they look different . they usually come in a tube. My grandmother always carried wintergreen. Lifesavers in her purse. My aunt would give us at Christmas the Santa Claus book that had like eight different life saver flavors. There are hard candy. praying for your wonderful family. God bless.🙏🙏❤️

[@Traveler-nu8xc]

I’ve never seen the kind they sent with chocolate in them or banana

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

We know we have lifesavers, just not those types that were sent. Sorry that was confusing! Thanks for watching

[@gingerevans1346]

So I am watching one of your Shop with me at Costco videos from a year ago. Everette is so darn adorable but especially in the shop at Costco videos! He’s just so funny! I loved his enthusiasm when he threw the plate in the trash and was so happy he made it he screamed with delight much to the surprise of the man pushing the cart down the other isle. Thanks for sharing this time with us!

[@louannpatton8754]

Hope you had a very Merry Christmas. Also hope the New Year brings you.all the joy and love you truly deserve. Please know I keep you in my thoughts and prayers everyday and I add extra prayers several times a day for that little girl to be healthy. I know she will be happy because she will be in such an incredible family. Thinking of you often, May God keep his loving arms around all of you! God Bless

[@dancingdolly8335]

Lovely to see you all. Sending love,blessings and prayers to you all xx

[@transamgal9]

Its so sweet and tender to see all the brothers and dad love on Everett as its his last Christmas being the baby. He sure looks ready to be a big brother ❤💪

[@robyn7287]

God bless you all and I’m praying for baby girl to be delivered safely and healthy in 2024. Baby is coming into a beautiful family who will be loved by all including Luna ❤❤

[@BarbaraCullum]

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU, LUNA INCLUDED! HAPPY TO KNOW BABY GIRL IS OK. FUN IN THE SNOW LOOKS EXCITING! REALLY GLAD TO HEAR ABOUT THE SCAVENGER HUNT. THE BOYS ARE AWESOME LIKE THEIR MOM & DAD! ENJOYED THE VIDEO SO MUCH.😊

[@dpferguson60]

The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still. Exodus 14:14 NIV. My new favorite bible verse. Happy New Year!

[@prettypurplebunny6163]

Hello sweet family. So glad you posted, I was going to be a little worried if we didn't see something from you today or tomorrow. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and that the new year brings you much joy and happiness. I love watching your videos, they are put together so well and seeing your smiling faces just brightens my day. Thank you so much for that. I'm sending love, hugs and prayers your way. Take care friends! 🤗🤟

[@clydiaswartz1586]

I love your family,Everett is so sweet he loves his mommy and daddy so much .Bless your family.

[@SusanMatthews_TiteChatte]

Good Afternoon Hamm Family ❤️ It's a sunny, beautiful Winter's day, 51°F at the moment. There's a possibility of snow this weekend. Everything is crossed: eyes, fingers and toes. Life here in Virginia is good ❄️ Lauren, videos can wait. The most important thing is that you have quality time with Family; treasure these moments. So many fun traditions and memory making activities... makes me happy for you and your Family. In this case, the world can wait 😊 Bass Pro Shop = Happy Fellas (Ladies too). It's nice to see the boys shopping for their brothers and cousins... and participating in the wrapping process. Awesome idea Hunter. I'm sure Everett loved his scavenger hunt 🧭 Sushi making as a Family... fun and delicious. Yum, salmon. My favorite sushi is nori (optional), rice, smoked salmon, cucumber or avocado and carrots with a dab of wasabi, topped with salmon roe (optional), plus a dipping sauce: soy sauce, garlic, green onion, sesame seeds and pepper flakes (optional). Keeping Baby Girl in mind, you should try using hot-smoked salmon or shelf-stable salmon: both are fully cooked/cured, so safe for baby 🍣 I miss horseback riding so much. Brings back wonderful memories, and one "not so wonderful" memory involving me riding the lead stallion and my friend making a bad decision with her horse that, luckily, didn't maim or kill me. She's lucky I didn't hold a grudge 🏇🏼 Holiday baking is a must. Bennett, those cinnamon rolls look yummy. I nabbed your sugar cookie recipe... Mmmm 😋 You live in a Winter Wonderland... so beautiful. Sledding and snowboarding, so much fun 🏂🏼 French Onion Soup is delicious, especially on a cold Winter's day. Yea, the soggy bread and fontina cheese are an acquired taste. I think I was in my twenties before I really started to enjoy it. I make mine with a (variety) mix of fontina, gruyere, swiss, mozzarella and/or parmesan. Sometimes I skip the bread in the soup and serve it with a French Dip Sandwich (traditional beef or Mark-friendly chicken). It's all mouth-wateringly delicious 🤤 Hunter is getting so tall. At this rate, he'll be taller than Mark before you know it. I'm sure all the boys will absolutely love their gifts: Hunter: I hope to see some of your fly-fishing trips. I tried once, but I'm a boat/bank fishing girl. I was taught how to make my own flies... I still have one in my keepsake box. I highly recommend you give it a try if you haven't already 🎣 Bennett: I'm looking forward to your mountain bike adventures... nothing too dangerous, please 🚵🏼‍♂️ Weston: You are so humble. Not many kids would request a Bible and Scriptures as a gift. I love that 📖 Everett: Books (and toys) are a great gift. Reading is a fun hobby. Never stop 📚 Jalapeno Pepper Jelly is good for dipping jalapeno poppers and chicken tenders/wings, and lots more. Add some raspberry jam over low heat until warm and it's even better 🌶️ I love Land o' Lakes cocoa packets. My favorite are: Hazelnut, Vanilla, Arctic White and Caramel ☕ Loving all the gifts and goodies. Love the earth tone baby clothes and the handmade dress. Yummy treats: the banana ones are up my alley... why don't we have these in the states? Cinnamon Imperials/Hearts are one of my favorites. So many thoughtful people... Faith in Humanity in full swing. What a great community this is... Awesome 🎁 Everett's smile brightens my day; as does lil Miss Luna, the cuddly warmer of beds 🥰 I love y'all too. You're all so humble, loving, compassionate, kind... awesome. The love you have for one another is heartwarming, and it shows in each and every video. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a little part of your Family. Y'all are truly a blessing and Baby Girl is blessed to be a new member of your Family. Prayers for a safe pregnancy and delivery 🙏🏼 Happy New Year's Blessings 🎊 Take care and Yah's Blessings 🤗

[@wendysnyder2286]

Been worried about u an ur family hope all is well with the baby

[@micheleparker8553]

Yes, I have been worried too, because I am a worrier, and a retired nurse. But, they say no news is good news. My grandma said a long time ago that the things she worried about never happened, and the things that did happen she never could have imagined! Anyway, anxiously awaiting news about the baby.

[@adrienneziegler101]

Thank you for sharing. It brought a smile to my heart in seeing the spirit of Christmas in your family. Last year and again this year . No Christmas for me or my family, just horrible heart tearing 😢 grief, sadness, and sickness.

[@brilliantbutblue]

My Christmas has been the same as yours, so l feel your pain. I truly hope things get better for you, and 2024 brings with it peace. 🙏

Happy New Year to you all. You live in a beautiful area. Luna the supervisor. 🐱 Before you know it , you will be holding baby girl in your arms.💕

[@Tina-oq3di]

Just a suggestion about the soup. If you toast until lightly browned it helps with the sogginess and gives a beautiful flavor. It looks like you all had a wonderful Christmas. It seems you’re getting all the snow. We here in Canada have had a little but nothing like when we were kids. So much fun.

[@jamietipton5743]

Lifesavers are strictly American. I have been buying them every year for Christmas for both my boys. It’s a tradition and my boys have always loved them. Though they are grown now I still buy them for them.the factory for lifesavers is located in port Chester New York.

[@cindymoore9096]

I’m with the boys. I think I prefer cheese toast with a mug of french onion soup. =) Also, if you have any soup leftover, it makes a great base for the gravy of Salisbury steak. 😋 For anyone unfamiliar with it, Salisbury steak is basically substantial hamburger patties that are cooked (pan fry, air fry, griddle, grill, bake, whatever) and then simmered in a brown gravy. I like mushrooms and onions in my gravy. =)

Hi gang. Welcome back. The past week in Florida where we are hasn’t gotten above 70 and nights in high 40’s- low 50’s. House windows open! No AC needed. I wanted to see the crab legs!😋 We are all packed away till next Christmas. You have very generous viewers. It’s great how spiritualness is present in your home. My son lost his somewhere. This was a greatly presented video. Geometry has bath towels? Anyway, Merry belated Christmas to you all and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.🎉 You too Luna.
