We Left…

[@MAZELEE]

(Joe) Every Christmas Alena's sister throws a Christmas Adam party. This year we're flying to Charlotte, North Carolina then driving to Gatlinburg, Tennessee to stay in a wintery wood cabin in the Smoky Mountains!!

[@soulblacklady]

Why you didn’t take a flight to ATL, it’s closer to Tennessee? That flight and drive is a lot. 😮😮

[@fruitofthespiritgalatians5856]

I want to go to Gatlinburg, TN.

[@tippaa1]

Welcome to the South!! Happy Holidays!

[@dawnalva6685]

I live 45 minutes from Gatlinburg! Enjoy yourself and don't feed the bears 😂

[@terryallen8463]

I stayed there 3 years ago with my Aunt, cousin, & Older Sister! I flew to Texas first. Then connection flight over to Tennessee, it’s so nice up there. Stayed right in the smack of Gatlinburg. Went to the moonshine distillery. Went hiking. Went to Dollywood almost broke my neck on a rollercoaster, and the Ridley’s aquarium. It was great! My Aunts company that She works for has a partnership with a hotel down there!😁

[@TinkTink311]

No one is talking about Ajedi being happy to see Amaya! “Amaya is cool!” Y’all know he’s always so unimpressed. So that was great to see ❤❤❤

[@VanDenArch]

i'm sayingggggg!

[@jacquelinesmith9450]

The honesty with mom and the girls discussing the grades was so funny and refreshing. We have all been there. ❤

[@MatchlessAbove]

I love Amaya‘s bubbly spirit and sisterly love towards her other sister and she just seems very loving towards her siblings as a whole. She seems to encourage a lot of of the conversation and lightheartedness which is a plus matter fact it shines well and it’s beautiful on her she is very lovely. She does look like mommy a lot more than the other children and that is a beautiful thing. I love her thick, beautiful hair. It’s truly not short. It’s a nice length and I know how it feels to have longer hair and then have to have three or 4 inches chopped off of it is like whoa but being a mother when you see your children and you know their hair and you love the way it is and then you see them chop off through 4 inches. It’s like why do you do that? Why you take so much hair off so I get it but it’s lovely. She’s lovely. Your family is lovely. Have a blessed merry Christbirth.❤

[@d.l.robertson825]

Good Morning from Baton Rouge, Louisiana It's Christmas 🎄 Eve. Watching the girls/ young ladies exchanges with each other is priceless the ❤ care and concern is heart warming. Each child has distinct interest and talents . Alena you and Joe are doing an amazing job as parents .Family is everything, and your ❤ is evident in all that you do for your family and life experience of your families culture. Blessing this holiday season and Happy 2025 .

[@Kandie47]

Amaya having "short hair" but it being my goal length is actually a huge flex! beautiful hair and family

[@TBWL829]

If she feels she might be dyslexic. Just get her tested. So she feels she is being heard. My daughter was told she has dyslexia by the college testing person. We took her to her specialist. She does have the traits, so they going to test her. She feels relieved. She has a tutor who specializes in students who have dyslexia, and they help her study and prepare for her test. She's in college and love to continue to learn.

[@noneofyourbusinesslolz6112]

Akyli looks like you when she laughs and Amyah looks like you with a straight face💕

[@naomisantiago1884]

WOW!! I have been following you and Joe for years now, through your pregnancies and watching your older children grow up and leave home for College, but watching you and Joe with your younger children is amazing. I am so very proud of you and Joe, even more that you’re Christians and people of color and Proud of your heritage you and Joe. God Bless each and every one of you, I’m proud of your Children and the people that you and Joe are raising them to become in this world!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏽 God Bless and MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎁 🎉

[@LagoonaGhoul12]

Ajoui’s empathy for animals is so sweet 🥺

[@preneeearley]

Aww I was feeling sad for babygirl she loves animals. She was very hurt to see them unalive and stuffed hanging on the walls. Bless her 🙏🏽 heart.

[@arayascurls]

same!! that made me tear up she’s so special ❤

[@monicahill750]

If I was renting out my house/cabin. You never know who you are renting to, they should never have those animals hanging on the walls 🤷‍♀️. If it was solely their (owners) get away place, I understand.

[@missladyanonymity]

Im sure they were mounted on the wall, in the pictures online. Most people who rent rustic cabins in the woods are prepared for nature/mounted bucks/deer 🦌 🦌 🦌. Shrugs. That said, if the renters preferred they be removed, that's a request to make before arriving. And who knows if the owners would accommodate. I wouldn't recommend alena et al removing it before the baby sees it. They might not be able to remount them or might mount them in incorrect spots, despite taking pictures.

[@MahoganyBelle]

Ajoui has a tender heart for animals, as do I.😢 I wish they could take them all down, at least for her.

[@johnnywalker5288]

Those parents are not having quality time with each other. Too many children. The toddlers were at the edge of the view park ....don't envy them.

[@laydbak46]

Good sister she is to help her sister that way. Though those animals are real,she fibbed to console her. What a beautiful soul for animals. You two have done well,very well with how you raise your children. Faithful,spiritual, kind, and strong emphasis on academics. Continued blessings to you all❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.

[@lasooniami8162]

The big sister is big sistying😂😂😂 Amayah who are you becoming? ??😂❤

[@jacquelineadams3770]

Amaya sooooo looks more like you. She has your entire face. Beautiful kids!😂

[@eishauhamilton5495]

The other 2 older girls have their own looks, and the other kids all have the same face 😂. How you manage to have the same kid 5x in a row 😂❤❤❤

[@achanabi]

You guys have a true definition of an amazing family, God bless you

[@aleiciabarrett6164]

Love how Amaya is such a big sis . Encouraging the lil ones for better grades etc

[@maricathornton7727]

Enjoyed Joe’s photography and editing. Your children are getting better at on camera improvisation. You need to continue to slow down and appreciate time, girl!

[@adenaregeorges1908]

Love the house 🏠. Your daughter is so sensitive. She is an animal’s lover. God bless her precious little heart.

[@blendedtonesable]

Azaio, Azaio...whew! Look at her confidence! 2:23 I remember when she was in pre-k or kindergarten, having a tough time emotionally and in general. She is so confident now. Joe was her peace in the storm during those early days.

[@joy_to]

She shines.

[@maryama8]

this warms my heart as a girl living by herself, with almost zero touch with her 7 siblings+ parents family living just 3O minutes away.. I've crying my eyes off during every holiday but I managed to make my peace with it and just accept what rejection feels like over and over. thank you for always putting a smile on my face ♥

[@shervonri]

Do you reach out ?

[@californiapattycakes4417]

@maryama8 FIND your tribe! ❤ “Family” isn’t who you’re related to, it has a lot to do with who shows up for you & vise versa. Speaking from experience. You won’t regret it. 🙌🏼❤️
