Percy Jackson Party PLANNING!

[@breemangie4018]

Teddy starting to talk is the cutest thing lol

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

The stroller wagon lights are so cute

[@margaretjoy_stucky]

I love seeing Bailey excited for the show and your kids are amazing and I love there interests so much

[@ameliabrinker4814]

Bailey's outfit was adorable!!! She looks like she's disneybounding Louisa from Encanto.

[@suepeterson163]

I agree

[@janfromseattle]

I’m with you Jessica! I love Grocery Outlet and go twice a month. I love their selection of cheese and specialty items! I like the fact that they have many non-GMO products! Happy holidays to you and yours! ❤

[@chaz12582]

We spend a lot on food! I think adding beans to meals is a great way to make a meal larger and more filling. Of course, we aren’t the best at eating leftovers either 😬

[@amandanicole3999]

What I learned today: the way to a smile is Christmas lights

[@UpNorth3390]

Oh my gosh first someone gets upset that Jessica wants to share her licorice with the kids and then someone gets upset because she possibly shared a piece she took a bite of. 🙄 I don't know any mom that hasn't shared a bite of food with their children. That's just silly.

[@tessawhite7962]

I truly believe some people aren’t happy unless they have something to complain about, no matter what it is.

[@UpNorth3390]

@@tessawhite7962 Sad but true.

[@janellerussell6280]

Even if jess did take a bite and give the rest to the kids I think that is sweet that jess is sharing

[@lisam8831]

We learned today that smiles are appreciated

[@angieduvall5128]

People even if they did share the same one they r all family.

[@TM-qg9ow]

JESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! How in all shades of blue, do I get a store like yours in utah????? Sheeeesh that is amazing!

[@chaz12582]

Wow! What a fun time you guys are already having with the Percy Jackson show! Great idea with all the blue food! I forgot it was coming out today! My favorite character is Mrs O’Leary. I think she’s in the second or third book. Hopefully, she will eventually make it to screen!

[@Alyssa-Michelle]

I’ve been looking forward to this day 💙💙💙💙💙 so much fun!!

[@waleska3723]

I've been wanting all day for vlogmas 🤸‍♀️💃

[@libbyrose5099]

Literally bought a massive bag of blue takis a week ago in prep for Percy Jackson day also made blue chocolate chip cookies yesterday.

[@BallingerFamily]

Hahahaha yessss that’s amazing!

[@sarahrichardson8086]

I’m convinced Luke is just the happiest little guy in the world!

[@karenjocelynn]

First merry christimas love coming into a new year with u guys 💙 been watching since 2019 😊

[@SarahELynchDesigns]

I've heard people call Grocery Outlet, Gro Out, so that's what I call it. 😂

[@Jamie-ky7gz]

Comments would drive me crazy 🙄 people find anything and everything to have an issue with, . Jess and Christopher you handle them so well 👏😊👏😊❤️

[@UpNorth3390]

Couldn't agree more.

[@tol8896]

I agree. Keyboard warriors that have nothing better to do. If someone doesn’t like or agree with watching something they should turn it off instead of upsetting people with negative comments. I love the ballingers Christmas something to look forward to watching every evening.

[@B33K1ND89]

No one has said anything negative so stupid comment

[@Coco12769]

Who wishes that they can have this kind of party?

[@S.o.p.h.993]

Very keen to hear everyone's thoughts on Percy Jackson! I've been a fan longer than most of the kids have been alive haha but they all seem to share my enthusiasm! Per chance could a bonus video be uploaded just chatting about thoughts on the first two episodes? 🤔 I would love that!! Comments section full of fans just squee'ing! 😄🔱🌊💙

[@the_ambracer]

The series came out a day early (from what I heard. I bet the kids were stoked about it. I can't wait to hear what they think of it.

[@heatherastbury-hq5un]

Love you you all 🫐💙🌀

[@tinamarie7777]

Well, I need to read Percy Jackson for sure! It must be such a great series ♥️ Also, I love the Advent song, it’s perfect! 🤩

[@thebestestoneever]

So many things in this episode for me to comment on, lol. First, so sweet of Parker to give Duncan his favorite animal ❤ Second, so sad that I won't be able to watch Percy Jackson yet... need to budget and Disney+ got the cut at the beginning of the month, lol, but I'll be excited to see it when I'm able. I hope you all enjoyed it! Third, I'm pretty sure even if you were sharing the one licorice ball Jessica, that the germs are all shared anyway... that's the way it goes ;) And finally, there is no bargain store where I am, but it was seeing the bags of individual Skinny Pop popcorn that made me shout, lol. My mom has Alzheimer's and is in LTC and loves popcorn. I try to bring her some once a month, but if I bring a whole big bag, she'll eat it all at once and that's all she'll eat that day, so the small bags were perfect. I've looked everywhere for them lately and they are no where :( Fingers crossed I'll find it again soon :)

[@kellylattimore5234]

Just a thought, but you could buy small sandwich baggies, and distribute the popcorn into the small sandwich baggies that way she could only get one bag at a time.

[@thebestestoneever]

@@kellylattimore5234 Yes, I do that occasionally as well :)

[@DesireeandOhana]

That can behind the couch was really stressing me out. I kept thinking it was going to fall and spill Especially with little kids.

[@lisam8831]

When Christmas is over and it's so sad

[@annaperianes3272]

I need those Ballinger family hoodies back on sale!!

[@iemmalina]

Did Christopher compose the accompaniment to the vlogmas song?!? If so that’s so impressive!

[@dohraime140]

Bailey’s lace collar (outfit she was wearing when shopping ) reminded me of a book “Playing Beatie Bow” by Ruth Park. We read it in school and it’s a bit of an Australian classic. I think both Bailey and Jessica would enjoy that story and it would probably be a quick read. :) Actually, now I want to go find my copy!

[@Loganjk09]

PJO fans assemble!!!💙🗡️🐠

[@kittymomma7546]

I need a video on how to read ALL the Percy Jackson books. I'm so confused.

[@morganfern29]

I love your videos!

[@racheldefabio8190]

My mom calls grocery outlet "The GO", hehe

[@waleska3723]

A familia mais fofa do youtube ❤

[@biddiemutter3481]

Thank you Ballingers .

[@kateealer7]

They recently opened up a Grocery Outlet just over the state boarder in Elkton. My parents are obsessed with it, just like Jessica.

[@biddiemutter3481]

I'm so glad you explained that it wasn't only snacks in that haul .... that would have been very expensive snacks 😂

[@tarab7773]

Ok this is silly and so random but i would love to see you do a family color challenge where you draw a color and everything you watch on tv, eat, and wear on your body has to be revolved around that color for the whole day. Just think how happy Luke would be if you drew the color blue:) i obviously deew inspiration from your video:)

[@Voidsouldark]

At any party, I would have been Nico DiAngelo before I met Will Solas

[@constancecherry3996]

Nice

[@sramkovakarolina]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ds12544]

I feel like we are spending $250 every time I go to the grocery store which is at least once a week for a family of 5 so the fact that you only spent that for 7 of you is amazing

[@nicolemorrison3315]

Why is it a big deal if you share the same candy with your kids that you bit off of? Anyone who is a parent knows that you share food tons of times with your kids when they are toddlers especially and much worse lol

[@therobinettes7290]

I was going to ask you guys if you avoid food dyes last vlog but after watching your blue shopping spree I guess not 🤣🤣

[@LizaFergison]

There is always 1 who finds problems where there are none😀😁

[@stephaniebarnshaw853]

Isaac from J House Vlogs loves Percy Jackson. Also, Teddy mistook Bluey's toy called Bartleby for Bingo! Bartleby is Bluey's new toy that she gets from her parents in the episode Christmas Swim!

[@wilsonverno]

why would someone care if you bit something and shared it with YOUR KIDS??? 😂

[@SEYEBONOMUSIC-2]

🎄◉‿◉ 🎄

[@Barba_Fett]

Wow I love how people are ok with Mom not getting but a small bite of her advent calendar, but a Mom who kisses her babies daily is gross by kids biting a candy after Mom. Smh. I personally was more bummed that Mom only got a tiny bite of her advent calendar. And thought like yeah total Mom thing to do. But I kept it to myself because your choices as a Mom are all yours. None of my business. That being said I am so relieved you get one to yourself. Happy Holidays and TY for sharing your lives with us.

[@renepare3996]

I was bummed too that she was sharing but I get it. Hopefully in the future this calendar puts at least a few peices in it

[@ElizabethBailey-zd5ky]

Who’s the party for

[@biddiemutter3481]

Percy Jackson followers?

[@christinebelton1758]

Can not believe someone said that. She's there mummy

[@jeffie585]

God it's so stupid that people have to comment on things you do. Who cares if you put it in your mouth first and then give it to the kids, jesus. My mom used to do that all the time. You are family. You kiss your family. What's the big deal. Tell people to mind their own business.

[@bobbisbaubles7417]

I know I'm a few days late but Luke's nutcracker should be named Graham

[@dohraime140]

LOL! I’m only 30seconds into todays vlog and you almost triggered a panic attack with “01 day until….” Phew! 😄😄😄

[@koriball7302]

The comment concerned about you putting your mouth on the licorice...they know you birthed them right!? My son has quite literally pulled food out of my mouth to put in his

[@BallingerFamily]

😂

[@lisam8831]

6 days till Christmas

[@Mweedman7]

Let’s just say I’m disappointed in the new series. Really curious to see how the kids reactions are going to be for sure. ❤

[@constancecherry3996]

Marrey chismas

[@vahallawinston]

it's going to rise again with fuel costs and shipping container farms being set up

[@kristiefeldman2684]

Why do you guys sing it’s Vlog mess vlog mas why do you guys do that?
