I Love You Day 2024 | Keilen Corner

For us, I Love You Day is one of the most meaningful days of the year!!! This year the theme was “Little House on the Prairie.” Leading up to the actual day, many, many hours of preparation went into costumes and props for this fun theme. In preparation for the party, this episode shows highlights of Michaela sewing several prairie dresses for our nieces, as well as Judson and Jeb helping us build a wagon prop. We also have highlights from the party day itself, a time filled with laughter, games, catching up, and creating memories to last a lifetime!
A huge thank you to my parents for all that they do to make each moment together memorable and meaningful! I am so incredibly grateful for the family that God has given me!

I can't help but wish that I had Michaela for a sister and that my children were blessed to have her for an aunt. The whole Bates family is really special, but Michaela is extra special!❤❤❤ Brandon, you are a treasure also! Can someone from the Bates family adopt me?? 😉😆❤

[@zaidagonzalez466]

[@chessyharris6200]

Michaela's kindness and desire to be a help to others is exactly why she deserves the biggest ❤ award. She has such a gentle, sweet spirit. She is an inspiration to those around her. Brandon, you have it also. God knew exactly what he was doing when He brought you two together. ❤ The expressions and smiles on the little girls faces, just precious ❤.

[@BamaFreak132009]

There is no better recipient for the I Love You Day award than Michaela!

[@Sarah-zq8rd]

This video made me teary. Every child should be blessed with an aunt and uncle like the two of you. Your videos are so uplifting, calming and beautiful. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@karenwilds512]

God's calling on our lives doesn't always look like what we imagine, but you guys have nailed it! You are so patient with each child and cater to their needs, physically as well as spiritually. Not only the children but your entire family. What a blessing you both are!❤

[@denisekelly8576]

This is just the sweetest 🥰 Michaela, both you and Brandon are a wonderful blessing family.

[@MM-d289]

I just ❤ your new channel. Your videos are all amazing. You have found a wonderful way to share your gifts and talents with us!

God bless you Michaela ❤ You are sowing a lot of seeds in your family. You and Brandon will reap abundantly in God's time with a child of your own. Keep your eyes on Jesus and watch His miraculous hands make it come to pass. God bless you both with the highest blessings from on high🎉❤

[@sherrylee1072]

It’s soooo nice to see a Godly, loving family! Thank you

[@EmmaCooganChannel]

I just had to stop this video to comment how incredibly talented you are, Michaela! I think there is definitively a market for this style of dresses! I would dress my little girls like this and not as a costume! 😂Beautiful ❤

[@ReneesEverydayLife]

Michaela you are a gift! What a sweet spirit you and your husband carry. As someone who sews here and there, I know how many hours you put into those darling dresses! You’re so talented!

[@MikePenceFly]

Michaela, you are the most talented Bates in the whole family with the biggest heart. This video was precious, I loved it. You deserved that award!

[@randomroz545]

Michaela & Brandon can not get more wholesome, pure, kind, thoughtful, generous, faithful, and loving! God bless you both!

[@susanwine4804]

You Both are sooo Sweet and very Loving. I haven't seen any of Your Videos before until now and I sure do Enjoy hearing You Both talk about Your Love for Family and Each Other ❤❤... May God Bless You Always and Please Keep Smiling and Sharing Jesus with Everyone 🥰

[@CherLou1]

What a beautiful and giving Aunt you are, Michaela! You and Brandon are such a sweet couple! Was so happy to subscribe to your channel!

[@ReneeMuchechetere]

Michaela, you did an absolutely fabulous job on creating all the outfits. You are so super talented. Love the theme! "Little House on the Prairie". Everyone looked so great. The girls were so excited, you made them laugh & smile, outstanding!

[@lauraleebaird9729]

I have loved seeing all the videos from all the family for this event. What a blessing to have such a Godly family.

[@melindawittmayers824]

I couldn't help but think about what a crown of glory the kids and grandkids are to not only your parents but grandparents. Such a heritage of God's faithfulness! I grew up on Laura Ingall's Wilder books and wore little house on the prairie dress to school until the first grade (metal lunch pail included). You've inspired me to start watching that series over again at 54. What memories you have instilled in their little hearts by making them those precious outfits. You both are such treasures to your families.

[@lisah.07]

Michaela You are His Hands and Feet! The Light shining through you around you as you talked... God is So Good! God Bless You Both for being truly present in these Children's Life's, taking an interest in them and sharing God's love by loving them so! Thank you for my ☺️🥰 Huge Smile Today! You all are so Sweet! Hugs from Brandon's Home State! 🙏🏻♥️

[@lanatrapp1589]

Michaela and Brandon are the most Loving people I've ever seen. It makes me smile😊 and 😢😢. What a wonderful role model you have Michaela. Your Mama is the best. You have a heart of gold. I love your whole family. But you are very special. I pray that God blesses you abandantly this year.❤❤❤

[@kcotjo]

Hello from Nebraska! Michaela you certainly have a wonderful gift in your sewing abilities! The dresses, bloomers and bonnets were darling! Your creativity definitely came through with each outfit!! You receiving the biggest heart award was a clear choice. The joy and smiles that each child had was so beautiful to see. The memories that were made at this party are priceless. Brandon you did a great job on the wagon as well! I don't know how your mother does what she does. MICHAELA an idea for a video for you and Brandon could be a Q & A with mom and dad Bates. I personally would have SO many questions for them on how they raised such a wonderful family. I have been messaging your mom on IG suggesting she writes a book~~~~ Thank you for a great video! Keep them coming!

[@melanie18white]

WOWWWW!!! 🎉YOU DESIGNED AND MADE BEAUTIFUL DRESSES!!!

[@trishfuerte705]

Michaela your light shines for Jesus SO bright!!! What a dear heart you are!!!

[@SweetPea6348]

😊 ❤ Awesome Video !!! God Bless Your Family !!!!! Love Your Family !!!

[@sallibra7924]

I would totally introduce the girls to an episode of Little House on the Prairie! After watching they would really love to dress up in those dresses.

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Ty so much for starting a you tube channel. I've missed you guys. Every family needs first of all a Gil and Kelly as parents and second, a Michaela and Brandon as siblings. You guys are amazing. Like you said so many could have gotten the award but Michael you did deserve it. You went and stayed with so many kids to help and you took care of papa bill. I'm sure so many things we don't even know. Brandon, you are the kindest, sweetest brother to all. Michaela is a blessed woman. I love love the Bates family. Ty so much for sharing this video. Loved it! Blessings.

[@jukes243]

What a gifted young woman you are. You made so many little ones happy. Every costume is adorable. The children will always remember "Aunt Michaela".

[@thetherapymama6404]

You both are just oozing with talent! I love the dresses! What a gift!

[@estellarodriguez7435]

Michaela is the worlds sweetest, most caring Auntie! 💜❤️😍🙏🏼

[@nerymorales8578]

I love the Bates Family! They are kind, humble and love each other! God bless this family in a special way!!!!

[@susancumming7099]

This is my favorite of All the I Love You Day Videos. Seeing Brandon and Michaela behind the scenes. I knew Brandon and Chad made the Wagon but didn't realize Michael made the cover. Michaela, every single outfit you made for your nieces and nephews showed your love and extra special care and talent. I luv all of you when u were on Bringing Up Bates and now the grandchildren as well.i don't have favorites. However...Willow with her expressions and so full of spunk and emotions that bubble over truly cracks me up! She reminds me of one of my nieces. I've noticed Hazel has been making these adorable faces and expressions as well. Michaela, your response to Willow in equal measure when she told you she had something that broken and she'd bring it to your house was perfection!!!

[@patriotmama]

What darling dresses!! Michaela, you are so so talented. What a special time for your sweet nieces and your sister. You are amazing! You two are such an amazing Aunt and Uncle to those kids.

[@jeanr502]

This video just warmed my heart. Families are so important, and getting to spend time together with not only your siblings, nieces and nephews, but your parents and grandparents while they are still with us on earth, is truly a blessing. Love y'all. ❤

[@Grabfma040508]

Michaela and Brandon should make one episode where they go down to the grandparents house and interview and record questions . That way when the time comes and they can be there anymore all the families will have a CD to have . What a truly blessing it is to have your grandparents.

[@claudiar4235]

What a beautiful video of a beautiful family. Memories treasure for life. ❤

[@marlasturgill8306]

Michaela you are a very talented young lady, God truly gave you many talents and each year you use them more and this year spoke volumes as too what you accomplished and too see the outfits and dresses and bonnets was just Amazing!!!! Brandon your work don’t go unnoticed either my friend you’re very talented as well!!! I can’t wait to see what else you guys have in store for us!!! Hope you have a blessed weekend!!!

[@DanielleBrennan-eg4sv]

Ohhh this is so sweet. Little House is one of my favorite book series...I always wanted a pinafore. Gorgeous work too. When I watch you Michaela, I see someone covered in grace. Blessings.

[@swan6328]

By the end of the video I ended almost crying. How humble, caring and down to earth people you two are. Michael you truely deserve the biggest heart award.❤ So much of sacrifices that you do to each and everyone of your family 😢. May God bless you two🙏🩷🩵 People like you are very rare to find....

[@Handmaiden_oftheLORD]

Thank You both for blessing us ALL (not just your family) your God given creative and genius skills in serving is a TRUE example of ministry Peter 4:10 James1:17 Matthew 5:16 Thankyou for sharing such wonderful footage of your family I love you day. Just loved Judy n Jeb's way of "helping" Brandon too. I could go on and on with praises, but it's clear to see that All the glory is from Jesus Christ in your hearts who makes all these beautiful moments come together. I look ahead to hanging out with you all in heaven... Beautiful sisters and brothers in Christ. xxx

[@joanneschwartz3753]

Thank you for sharing your video on I Love You Day! It's a wonderful celebration! Treasure the times that your family spends together! You are both so talented! The dresses were beautiful!

[@auntkissy520]

Michaela, you are amazing!! You have inspired me to start sewing again - you bring so much joy to so many people (even those of us on here who you don't know) - thank you for letting us see a tiny piece of you and your wonderful husband's life!! God bless you both.

Thank you for the peace & joy of your videos. I didn't want our visit to end. I so appreciate you filming each family & who they represented. Like others have said, you brought us in to share the joy of family & fun. Sadly, mine is not like this; but I do continue to hope & believe in God's promises that He will bring them back to Him. 🙏 Love your wagon & showing nephews to learn & help. LOVE the questions from the youngin's about how you could be their uncle. What a hoot. Happy we have a God of details who knows how to use your sewing & creativities. Sent with love & respect! 🥰 P.S. I love & enjoy your opening & closing. I smile each time. So clever! So fun....but of course!😊

[@DebbieDStripling]

I truly love you guys! Your hearts are so full of love for your nieces and nephews. I should say your whole family. You’re always there for them.

[@Lacirose88]

Oh yay! I always heard how great Micheala is at making costumes & Brandon’s imagination, I’m so excited to see their side of things on these vlogs! Thanks for sharing your lives with us. It’s great to have all these godly couples to watch on KZbin. I watch all the Bates kids & always wanted y’all to get a channel. Such a blessing to get to watch. ❤seeing all the girls dresses reminded me of the little house on the prairie dress my mom made me when I was 6. Thanks for sharing, it reminded me of a special memory with my mom making my lavender dress, bloomers & apron back in the day. Me & my mom really enjoyed seeing all your beautiful dresses you made. & each dress took a lot of work, Michaela must’ve been exhausted. She’s a pretty amazing woman.

[@georgiaschwab7936]

Thank you Michaela and Brandon. Your generosity and love towards your family is really inspiring. I miss the Bringing up Bates show. This is like getting to watch it without the network interference. What a beautiful celebration of love. Please thank your mother for keeping this tradition alive. It’s a great example of God’s love towards us. As for the costumes; wow! Seeing the looks on the faces of such sweet little girls is so precious. Layla loves dress up and it shows. Brandon it looks like your wagon was a hit. The little children certainly got a big kick out of it. Oh my! Too much fun.

Michaela, you are so gifted with sewing! Wow! Love the way you buzz right through each dress. They were adorable. Brandon, you did fantastic as well with the wagon and the train engine. You all are incredibly blessed, Mom & Dad Bates did a fantastic job of raising you and instilling the Word of God in each of you. I'm too old (I'm probably older than your parents) but I want to be adopted into your family! ;) Thanks for sharing such a special day for the Bates family.

Even though you have not been blessed with your own child you give to your nieces and nephews as if they were. Thank you for these refreshing videos. I can only watch yours and Erin’s channel now, your messages are always so encouraging and about others. You don’t make these videos about yourselves but about how you love others well. I thank you for that.
