Waking up before dawn is special, it does feel you have so much time to do things. Those days that I wake up early are the best days. The secret is though you have to wake up before dawn.

[@caricakes]

😊🙏

[@pegeek77]

It's unbelievable. The best house ever!!! I'm in love with all the forest animals... My dream house that's sure. I'm super late for watching your videos but i'm still in love with your mood, your vibes!! Thanks a lot

[@amandavaldez9315]

That yard was amazing. Foxes and fireworks. Louie was definitely the star of this program.

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

when kurt took over the chocolate, reminds me of that episode in big bang theory when penny's assembling a cabinet and the guys try to help, then they take over and start making a custom cabinet with a built-in cooling unit

[@caricakes]

Literally he would 🙄🥲

[@susanlee4402]

OMG…the way that Kurt loves Louie…ha! 💕 We missed you over here in SD, but I’m so glad you had a lovely time in your new family home and had such a great trip! It’s gorgeous! And happy happy birthday!!! Hold that thought…We’ll have a (very) belated celebration when I get back into town in the Spring!!! :)

[@caricakes]

[@BrookWentz]

I know you have various reasons for being protective of your family time - and I fully support - but it's also such a pleasure to get a little glimpse into your life to see you happy and surrounded by those you love. Happy new year and happy birthday Cari!!!

[@manateapie]

I almost cried when your dog had his little festive scarf on 🥰😭🥰😭🥰😭

[@caricakes]

[@caricakes]

thank you so much!! and right?! i had never seen a wild fox in my life until that day hahah happy new year!

[@xpolarisx]

@@caricakes I would just sit in front of the window all day

[@mynameshopee]

Oh my gosh so lovely 🥰 Your moms study room window is so peaceful. Nothing quite like home! And also… YOUR DOG IS THE SWEETEST MOST PRECIOUS LITTLE SNUGGLER 😍🥺

[@davidherd1855]

Hi Cari, it's great to have you back on our screens. What a fabulous garden your parents have, and the surrounding area looks great. You and Kurt are going to miss that wee dog, what a nice natured animal. I got to go down to the Borders, and we had a great Christmas, where we were staying has a garden similar to your parents place, but not as many deer. Kurt looked as if he enjoyed his holiday, it was good to see you having a relaxed time together. I loved some of those shots of the resident wild life... well done. Happy Birthday again, and I wish you and Kurt a great New Year. Smiled when I saw the Lion Rampant flag. Take care both 😄XX

[@caricakes]

I’ve heard we’re not going to like the deer come spring because they eat EVERYTHING!! Hope 2022 treats you very very well :)

[@davidherd1855]

@@caricakes Oh deer oh deer, they will have to put up a meshed fence to stop that, but you would still be able to see them. Quarantine must be a drag, but if it gave you quality time with your family, that's got to be worth it. I wonder where you will be taking us to in 22, will L😄😄K forward to where ever you take us. Keep giving us that lovely smile of yours. 😄XX

[@natalias3502]

Kurt's 'patrotic" just sent me lmao Looks like you had the most sweet of times🎉🎉💕 and great you got to spend Christmas with your family. Welcome to being 30 btw! 😚😉

[@happinesss2]

this was SO COZY thanks for sharing :))) really wish I could like this video twice three times for louie!!

[@icsk8grrl]

What an amazing location, wildlife is such an amazing thing to witness. I love my backyard birds and squirrels.

[@MariMermaid]

That view from your mums library is stunning ❤️❤️❤️

[@annikasophie6504]

This warmed my heart! I wasn’t able to go home this Christmas but this really made me think of home since my parents also live right by the woods and we are always fascinated by how many lil and big creatures we get to see from the windows 🥰🥰

[@didepux251]

I can imagine you in some years sit on that desk with this amazing view, that each day is different, writing your book. Happy New Year. ✨✨

[@Sandy-cx9cw]

I’m sorry but Louie is way to cute. i can.t. Omg 😍😍😍 My Hungarian grandma used to bake those cookies as well for Christmas. :) Happy Birthday/ New Year!

[@anitaszabo6872]

I was at home by my parents furing Christmas holidays. It is really something different there. I also felt the same as you. I spent also a lot of time in our backyards. Playing with out dog and with our cats. Happy New Year and Happy Birthday! :)

[@HelixxWouldRather]

Living vicariously through you as my folks, unfortunately, brought us Covid for Christmas. We've finished a full 10 days of quarantine but I am still symptomatic and can't go anywhere. We canceled our very low-key NYE plans, my BFF/roomie hasn't been able to come home since Christmas eve, we couldn't celebrate my mom's birthday as we were all too sick. It was very lovely to watch you get to do all those things with your loved ones. I'm happy to see you all managed to stay healthy throughout everything. I'm wishing you and Kurt a safe and healthy trip back to Korea.

[@caricakes]

Oh no!! I hope everyone is recovered now and that hopefully you can schedule a make-up christmas/bday/nye sometime in 2022 🥺 sending lots of love!

[@nicolegordon129]

I love Bucks County. I’m from PA as well. Philly and then Montgomery County. I miss the beautiful scenery- all of three trees and woodland creatures. Philly has so much culture and energy. Such a blessing to get to be near fault and friends after so long. Kurt is so chill. Holidays are for good food, family, and friends. Happy Belated Birthday. Happy New Year!!

[@marisawu3646]

This is so lovely! You are so lovely🧡

[@caricakes]

YOU are so lovely!

[@caricakes]

thank you so much! happy new year to you too :) and its a xmas classic!

[@twisted_introvert]

This video resonates with me a lot because I had a rather similar Christmas experience. My parents moved from WI to WA in November 2019, and the Christmas I spent with them that year was still in the temporary housing provided by my dad's company. On my last day there I got to see their new house for about 20 min while the previous owner was in the process of moving out. Then I went back to WI and THEN Covid hit. My mom came out to visit me in October, but I hadn't seen my Dad in person in nearly two years - since we said goodbye when he brought me to the airport the first week of Jan 2020 - nor had I seen their house as _their house._ We also had a very quiet Christmas (although we always do, pandemic or not) & I just appreciated that I was able to be there with them thanks to science 💉 and the ability to work from home. Happy Birthday from another newly 30-year old December baby and happy new year!!

[@anyaguinzbourg8609]

What a wonderful video, so cozy🥺 the amount of nature, that was so amazing!!!

Just Love Your vibe Cari💗

[@elainecampbell8083]

Oh my goodness, Bucks County! I live in Lancaster. :D Welcome back to PA (you know we're the only state that says the initials when we talk). I think Louie will have his own fan club after this video. So darn cute and snuggly! Louie loves Kurt for sure! Kurt did really well with his pretzels! Nice job Kurt! Does Kurt know the first pretzel bakery in the U.S. is Sturgis Pretzel bakery in Lititz, PA? And 80% of the pretzels made in the U.S. are from PA and the PA residents eat the most in the U.S. too? We love our pretzels! lol When I was a kid, there was a soft pretzel man who used to sell pretzels outside of school yard, so we used to buy them at recess. I'm glad you two were able to make it back to your home for the holidays. The wildlife was beautiful! It's fun to go to Philly. Lots to do there! Happy New Year, and I look forward to more wonderful videos this year! Oops, almost forgot.................HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY!!! Woo Hoo! May this year be the best ever!
