Spurgeon’s Birthday Week! 🎁

We spread out the celebration for the birthday boy by giving a week of gifts leading up to his big day!

[@michellelindsay5727]

Sturgeon is so polite; he said “thank you mommy and daddy” without any prompting. He brought tears to my eyes because he was so excited to be exactly like his father with his coat, shoes, measuring tape, hammers and pliers. I got a kick out of him when he said, “ hey, Jessie”.and then quickly changed it to Mom when he was talking to the camera! Spurg is a hoot!!❤️😉

[@ohheytherelauren]

When spurg said “HEY JESSA” I died 😂😂😂🤣

[@marydimuro2953]

Me, too! And Jessa took it all in stride.

[@caseymariedaniels6941]

That was so cute ❤️

[@ashleighburroughs3581]

Me too

[@micheledavis3735]

Ok...I await the fun gifts now that he’s gotten the clothing and the tools...I am kidding...the tools are fun and productive and give him a sense of self worth and he knows good things come as you age...making things with mom and dad is great fun. I believe Spurgeon is a great kid and he exhibits behaviour and characteristics that lead me to believe he is a little sponge and the work ethics and kindness and compassion he exhibits prove his parents truly love him and use every opportunity to teach him right and wrong and he’s really great at differentiating the bad from the good. He’s a great kid...I would hope that, in the future, if he misspeaks because he does not know better, you will explain that every person deserves respect and to be treated well and as equals. We are all unique and have unlimited potential and we must build others up because tearing them down is a disservice to God. Following the tenets of most religions we have come to understand we are all loved by our creator and it’s not okay to call people “the black ones”, that kind of thing. I understand his asking...he does not know, however, I simply cannot wrap my head around the fact you did not use that opportunity to teach a part of that lesson. You’re good parents, from what I’ve seen on your videos. We all need to make sure we do not allow another second of intolerance to hurt anyone. It’s time we all get behind the acceptance and inclusion of everyone. We can no longer leave anybody out of this circle of humanity and love. No one. You don’t need to agree with everyone but we are all included in this age of history making events and face it...we must do better. For the children.

[@schewitt1977]

Spurgeon is such a sensitive child he has a calmness about him. Happy birthday

[@Ellietalk81]

YES - very true. I loved how he didn't get mad when his siblings were playing with his gifts; particularly when Ivy was trying on his shoes, socks etc...he just giggled and let her explore. Most children would've been upset, but I loved how he was calm and nurturing with her. What a sweet little man!

You probably dont give a damn but does someone know a way to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the account password. I love any help you can give me.

[@carlienhuiting62]

Happy birthday Spurgeon! I love how excited he gets with his first few presents : "now I look just like daddy." Isn't it the cutest when your husband is your sons hero and favorite role model! Great idea Jessa, spreading out the celebration, I really like that. And thanks for letting us be a part of the birthday fun.

[@smileytheartist5345]

the little talk at the end was really sweet... especially loved the “hey Jessa” bit😂🤗

Spurgeon is so sweet! Grateful for everything - even socks! You can see how wonderful he is with Ivy and Henry! He is so thoughtful, too! Way to go Jessa and Ben! Your children are delightful and a reflection of how much of yourselves you invest in them! Happy Birthday, Spurgeon!

[@beckyklepper315]

This is a beautiful way to celebrate each child and enjoy the time each new season their lives bring. Happy children are a great gift! God bless!

[@angelahawkins8069]

I just love how you and Ben give really thoughtful gifts to Spurgeon! Not toy related, and things he shows interest in. Also love how you involve Henry and Ivy in giving big brother his presents! Happy blessed 5th Birthday Spurgeon!🎂

[@nancyfarkas3592]

Nothing wrong with toys. But I agree they should be something they are interested in.

[@nmikloiche]

Spurge, I wish for you to have a childhood filled with immense wonderment, of building your hot air balloons and flying off to your Davey Crockett tree forts and all the other amazing creations your beautiful mind will think. Happy Big 5. Love, My Family

[@lindal3966]

Wow...you said that so beautifully, NikiMik.

[@antikaluscombe2763]

"hey Jessa" 😂🤣 too cute

[@blushkitten1]

Im not sure if Jessa and Ben read these.(My first time posting) y'all are raising some great kids!! Spurgeon genuinely liked each gift no matter if it were clothes or socks he just really enjoyed opening all them. personally I believe you're encouraging all your children to play outside and use their imaginations something that's been lost a lot in this country. I know my kids had too much screen time but you have just got some really adorable young man there it's going to be just like his daddy! I don't know who was smiling war when he opened the jacket and realized it was just like Daddy's! 💙💙💙

[@suziephillips2320]

On the Christmas after I turned 5, I ran out of my bedroom and right past my gifts from Santa to this BIG box! Dad said it was just the box that moms washer ca!me in! Not after I got done with it! It was a fort and a place to hide in! My. mom said they spent about $800 on my gifts, which was back a tad before Jim Bob & Michelle, and since I am the only child, that was a lot of $$$, back then! Whiile I did open them eventually, I remember that big box! My dads family lived in Knoxville, TN & my mom's in Philadelphia, PA. His family sent me the entire Barbie, Ken, Midge, Alan, Skipper & Scooter, plus a ton of outfits & the dream house! By the end of the day, I had moved my dolls in that box! My mom said they were just going to an appliance store the next birthday & Christmas so they could save a ton of money!

[@Sunnydreamer1470]

Jessa and Ben are bringing old fashioned values back!!!! 🥰

[@pennypacheco512]

Jessa you are a great mom and Ben a great dad. Your children are not spoiled they truly love all their presents. They are grateful for all their presents. I kinda of chuckled when Spurgeon called you Jessa.

[@freddy4672]

All your kids and so very sweet and bright....but Spurgeon is extra special.❤️

[@reetayoung]

Spurgeon is so cute! ( They all are). He's a really good boy and big brother. I can't believe how fast he's growing up!

[@elisawestvirginiamountainm1019]

Spurgeon is so handsome. You sure have beautiful children! Happy belated birthday Spurgeon

[@Amo109]

I must be super emotional today because when he saw he had a coat just like his daddy; tears came to my eyes at how excited he was

[@jordanwilliamsss]

I LOVE how polite he is! Not only does he say thank you for everything, but he sits patiently while waiting for them and does such a good job sharing with his brother and sister. Not many kids can do that. You are raising a WONDERFUL little boy. I hope he had an amazing birthday!

[@traceymccain2504]

What’ a great idea with gifts each day ! I love how spurgeon wants to be just like his dad! My opinion is that Ben is the best dad!

[@nancybuscemi6933]

Happy Birthday Spurgeon! 5 is such a magical age! There were so many touching moments in this video I don't know where to start. I did the same thing with my kids about giving clothes, shoes, socks, underwear, etc for gifts and other practical items. My children also loved books, so they also were included. I always gave educational or building type gifts to my son as well because otherwise he would be taking my toaster and blender apart just to see how it worked (yes at age 5). Today he is a highly paid telecommunications engineer, so guess it paid off😂😂. But your family is special. Ivy Jane trying on Spurgeon's shoes and socks and walking through the house like she is a shoe model😊😂 (and Spurge doesn't mind), dancing on the couch in Davy Crockett's hat. The boys twinning in their hats, Spurgeon being so proud of looking like Dad in his coat and shoes and being able to build with his own tools like Mom. And last but not least that sweet conversation with "Jess" at the end looking like his twin...these are the scenes dreams are made of..💖

What a precious birthday week. You guys are the best parents.

[@Itsthatforeignchic]

Can I just say how much I love this and that you don’t get the other kids gifts. My friends get all their kids gifts on one kids birthday and to each is own but to me it teaches them to not celebrate others and that everything is always about them . There is a huge lesson in celebrating others . I think you’re a great mom ❤️

[@jeniferkenney2984]

I agree with you!

[@foofookachoo1136]

Yup!!! I think the sibling should get used to that idea too!!! I think giving to the siblings was something that was started around 15 or yr.’s ago. For a while I pondered about it, and then one day it hit me that it just wasn’t the thing to do!! Bottom line is they need to LEARN to share!!

[@emmef7970]

Kids need to learn that everything does nor revolve around them. A birthday to celebrate the person born on that day. You should Not reward a child for not having a meltdown because its someone else's birthday.

[@bhuvaneshwarij1326]

Exactly ! Many ppl comment like hey get gifts for everyone, but no , kids need to learn that it s the other one s birthday

[@marycaramella1347]

She got Henry a Daniel Boone hat too. Love that the boys both have tool boxes. Their Mom knows how to use tools. So its just the cutest, she built their bunk beds herself. ❤
