Reality of Dinner With Large Family | The Cost!

[@zulemitatorres2729]

Liam choosing Auroras outfit was soo cute 😩🫶🏼

[@roncaron8939]

I TOTALLY AGREE........

[@sarahbevan2413]

Except she didn’t actually wear it

[@deedeew4040]

Okay, I admit for the last three years I have watched every single vlog you have posted. When you are late posting; I find myself not able to complete my day without watching you. Everyone in this family are wonderful and beautiful people. I do not have a favorite. You are all exceptional. The parenting skills are over the top. I am proud of each and every one of you. Nameste

[@desireec.1836]

Its so heartening to see Arron have his sparkle back. I believe people seeing him overcome his struggles will inspire them to hang in there as "This too shall pass". Even though we all have our own struggles, they are not often put in the public eye for everyone to see and comment on and while im sure some of that attention is positve im sure some of it is negative and will cause some to spiral even more. You probably don't think so but that is brave and inspiring. Thank you and God bless.

[@peachy-patches]

What happened with Arron?

[@bobbicyr3573]

I like that you don’t put their down moments on camera, like when they’re bickering between each other. I love that it’s kept as a private thing between them. 😍 parent win!

[@kiritaveronicamote7092]

Liam is a natural on camera, love his vibe ❤

[@annamancia4575]

I love to see how everyone helps to care for Aurora, the baby of the family ... Liam choose a very cute outfit for her... also I can see Aurora loves for all her siblings and how she misses the ones that have move out the most; that's why she had to move so many times from her sit... Family outings are so much fun to see everyone happy face ❤

[@katiemccarthy5349]

Brodie is a natural showman...love him !💞

[@cazb7806]

Loved the predictions. Crystal was this recorded before you said Aaron could open the next 3. You all got there eventually, and looked like everyone enjoyed their meals. Well done Halie on taking home the left overs, your mom's was practically uneaten. Blessings to you all.

[@absolutelyangee8758]

Brody is precious. He's gonna be a little heart breaker when he's older

[@MM82699]

Thats not something good 😂

[@kellyandrewsstroud1796]

Isn’t it amazing when you predict the situation and you get most of it right but the outcome comes together!!!! Love your family! Puts a smile on my face!!!!!!!

[@day-vlogs22]

*****when Aaron didn’t open the vlog ***** 🤣🤣 I love y’all are taking us along yalls dinner . The kids are so funny making predictions about each other 🤣🤣

[@juelyonnaturner4984]

I came to say the same thing. Why didn’t Aaron open the vlog. All the real crazy pieces fans that watch every video knows yesterday you guys said he would open the next 3 vlogs. Love your guys videos!!!!❤

[@michellekobiska9451]

I was just going to say that lol the kids did we want Aaron to open the vlogs for the next 3 video come on Aaron we got faith in you you can do it

[@appettit]

The funny thing was I filmed an opener to this vlog… going to have to talk to the editor 😂

[@juelyonnaturner4984]

@@appettit put it in tomorrows vlog :)

[@introvertednotsoyoutuber6126]

For some reason I assumed they were backed up a little and it wouldn’t happen for a couple vlogs and then we would get 3 in a row with Aaron’s intro

[@michellebrooks424]

Crystal I love seeing you and Aaron interact and do things with the kids it truly makes my heart happy

[@nonondriessen]

Thank you for sharing. This dinner out as a large family shows how important it is to communicate and organise well. Not only is it good to make reservations but also to choose the orders at home. This is in the customers' and the restaurant's service advantage.

[@ejgrunch]

Happy Birthday Hannah! I know how you feel about the dinner. My family was same way, but we were all in school too. Where is restaurant but I’ve been in a family of six all four of us got to choose a restaurant for our birthdays.

[@recorderjams]

Love Hannah, Brody, and Savannah’s predictions at the beginning. 😂

[@411w44]

Brody is very athletic ! He'd be great at gymnastics ! Love the way he"s been practicing ans wanted to show Crystal

[@findmeintime]

they should have created a bingo card

[@jinglebell61]

Hannah is so pretty because when she flashes her charming smile, it is like she painted a rainbow on her heart.

[@nancybaldwin4893]

That’s a good idea, all your kids are so sweet and respect all the other. I just love your family Crystal, you and Aaron are awesome parents with all these precious children. Love y’all.

[@carolynmalkowski3654]

Oh Brody is so sweet he's Growing up so fast Love you all NJ HERE 😘😘

[@gladys6643]

Not Savanah and Brody really exposing deep the usuals ahahah Love this Real raw not perfect video 🤣 😂

[@addyandbabypollyaddy6926]

Pro tip: for the locations you frequent print out the menu. Have everyone review and write down their drink and food choice on a notebook labeled by name. Then just bring the notebook and then the waiter just points the the person and you can read them off. This also means your food is already starting to be prepared when you get there so you're not waiting for everyone to pick then waiting a long time for food. Also as a safety measure you should have a plan for a default seat/vehicle if you guys ever need to leave the house in a hurry. Yall have had a big family for years, get it together ya'll

[@MM82699]

Agreed especially with the car situation it was stressing me our watching. and them literally not having aurora.

[@jaclynb5041]

You guys should do a day where each kid picks out each other's outfits!

[@suemiller3405]

Some time you should explain how it may be more affordable than one might think to adopt a big family. I know that because my daughter was seven when adopted, the state (Illinois) provided some money for braces and counseling in the future. I'd hate to have a child not get a forever home because some good people thought they couldn't afford it!

[@josephjones7478]

Awe man this is awesome 👌 and what wonderful service you guys had!!!! As always love yall 💜💜✨️💜💜

[@alyssakostiew5072]

Love your family! GLAD you had wonderful service! That's not to bad for 18 people! Aurora is so cute! 😊

[@biblewomen77]

I do watch all the videos for the last several years. I did think this was different and Mark did a great job editing. When you go to Disney or any family outing..I think people wonder how much does that cost. I think this video peeled back some of the questions. Maybe instead of having a Q and A ..just have videos showing people what that question looks like. *** I have a question (not necessarily for Q & A) But what is the process for your dogs before you leave house? Do you make them go to bathroom? Do you give them a treat and say we will be back? **** Is it very stressful checking into a hotel room? Do you have to go look at them and check things out before you get in? *** What do you do if they aren't listening to you? What does punishment look like? These are some of the things I've been thinking of. So maybe you can just show us in blogs whenever someone has questions...🙃

[@rochelleappiah6334]

I've done this with 15 bio, foster and adopted, I know what it can be like. Is Max and Logan overwhelmed with so many kids. Mine were

[@Picco2008]

Brody 😂😂😂 that was a great description👍🏻

[@LaurenRReed28]

Well done Halie taking the leftovers :) i was about to say that would be such a shame to waste the food crystal didnt eat as there was still a whole meal on her plate

[@gem3614]

The amount that you guys paid was exceptional for the number of people that you had. Great job blue 32.

[@heatherfishman226]

Brody is going places!! He's going to be a actor /comedian

[@ashleeshipe7488]

Suggestion for those who live at home have them stand outside the car they want to ride in so you can visibly see who is all there especially with all the littles.

[@Blue12854]

That's amazing, but where I'm living it's going to be like 900 or more. Love you're channel!

[@ednanelson1897]

Wow, what an awesome server. To take that many orders and not mess any of them up is truly amazing.

[@jimenamedrano20]

I WAS WAITING FOR AARON TO OPEN THE VLOG 🤭

[@TimothySmiths]

That was a fun one seeing the whole ordeal of going out.. and for 18 people only 300.00 these days is really a good deal.

[@tiffanykimes4618]

I'm gonna need you to give Liam a special day with just you and him.. I've noticed for the last few weeks actually that boy is right next to you 247 at least in the videos I don't know how he is off camera but I'm gonna say that he is your little sidekick right next to you.. Let's have a mom and Liam day he needs it you can tell..

[@beckyjones6956]

I have seen the Fast food buy every thing menu costing this much and at this place you got good food and a very full family.

[@beckscroft18]

Great to see Hannah looking like she feels a bit better, loving her predictions too, 😂. Lets see how this goes and if her predictions are right.. I'm watching 👀🙈😂

[@jerride2414]

Hey, what happen to Aaron opening today's blog (the next 3 vlogs, you said)? Just holding you to what you said, Crystal. 😆 And I agree with your waitress. You do have a great family!

[@teraphIl1000]

I love the flashbacks to the predictions! x)

[@KwaiBoutique]

the doggie looking out watching them leave is the cutest thing ever!

[@krisspade]

We’re only a family of 8 and it’s roughly $300 to go out to a sit down dinner here in Northern Ontario Canada. It’s interesting to see the difference in cost depending on where you are too!

[@emilynapper6978]

That's like nearly 40 bucks a meal?!

[@emilynapper6978]

Is it really $35 per person?

[@krisspade]

Yes it is, we have a 13% government sales tax on our order on top of the meal cost. 😓

[@rosemaryshulman7503]

On one of your all-family dinners out, surprise them with desert for dinner first. Then dinner. It’s a fun switch up.

[@roncaron8939]

I'LL BET THAT THEY WILL ORDER BIG DESERTS AND NOT CARE ABOUT DINNER.......HAHA

[@kuroneko3896]

That would be fun!!! They would need to have multiple cameras prepared for each of their reactions. I'm already smiling just imagining the looks on their faces! 😆

[@hizgrase]

I guessed $320 before you announced it I didn’t know you were gonna announce it but that’s what I was guessing so I was close. I guess it depends on if you pay the whole check or if the grown kids that are out of the house, pay their part.

[@Dadof54011]

🎉🎉I really enjoyed seeing this style of video!!!🎉🎉 I hope there are more styles like this again soon! 😊

[@michellebrooks424]

Hello crazy Pieces thank you for another wonderful video your family is amazing and I always appreciate your videos your amazing

[@noelledyer6462]

So funny with all the predictions that were right on! On a side note... Halie and Aaron have the same nose. so cute!

[@catherinefoster1481]

I noticed that too! Plus the same smile. Very noticeable when they're side by side.

[@samgannon7590]

Brody’s set on his back tuck is so good he will have both that and his back handspring off the trampoline in no time!

[@sl4202]

You guys should do a home alone skit for your Christmas intro

[@SHARONTHOMAS-t4k]

IF YOU EVER IN ALABAMA LOOK UP CAMP 31 ITS BUFFET STYLE & MAKE SURE YOU FIND OUT WHEN BBQ& SEAFOOD BUFFET IS ON. I WAS IN AL. BECAUSE MY SISTER LIVES THEIR & CAMP 31 IS SO GOOD

[@traceycullen840]

I love that you include everybody in choosing a restaurant. Does it ever get hard for Halie to order because not every restaurant makes gluten free products

[@jus.me.tanzks5834]

It probably is. I am allergic to milk and almost everything has butter anymore 😂 sometimes I can only have fries but they usually are cross contaminated which usually doesn’t matter for me but occasionally it does 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@traceycullen840]

I'm sorry you and anybody else that has that problem l think restaurant's should have gluten free items as well as vegan. I am also glad that grocery stores sell more then one form of gluten free pasta other then spaghetti. I am glad that chex cereal is almost all gluten free because l would rather pay $2.89 for a box of cereal and crush that up then $7.00 for gluten free bread crumbs

[@findmeintime]

@@jus.me.tanzks5834 milk allergies shouldn't be impacted by butter. there is no lactose in butter

[@jus.me.tanzks5834]

@@findmeintime well I tested as lactose intolerant. But for most people from my understanding that means they get sick. I have severe pain like it will almost make me pass out if I move to much and butter and cheese definitely affect me within ten minutes of eating it A lot of times people say o that probably doesn’t have butter but mysteriously ten minutes later my stomach hurts and the only thing it could be from is butter Like I’ve never hurt of putting milk on noodles but butter I’ve definitely heard of so that makes me think they had butter

[@jus.me.tanzks5834]

And i think there is a difference in an allergy and intolerance or not? I believe I’m allergic because I feel like I’m dying from the inside out lol but I only tested as lactose intolerant but that was a few years ago already

[@TheUniqueKat]

Suggestion when you have leftovers after eating at a restaurant and some people don't want to take them home or won't eat them later. Get the leftovers all bagged up and give them out to the homeless people. I've also have done that with leftovers from parties. It's good to make somebody's day happier and to give them a really good meal to eat. The homeless do really appreciate it.

[@TheAngelsMommie]

Because we have food allergies we look at menus on line and decide what we want a head of time. Have a list of what everyone would like to order and anything they want to change . Also have a backup item they like just in case. Call ahead so they know your coming also call when youre on the way they maybe able too get appetizers started. Also let them know ahead of time of any food allergies

[@abigailbailey6849]

You guys seem so organized for a big family

[@erickaharper8341]

We have done that before is a must do! at least once order appetizer to get some food than order desert than meal if hungry still. My grandpa made my parents do it, said u live once why wait in life for the best part when u can live it now. If u wait u might miss it completely

[@hafsyaq0]

the cuts whenever one of the predictions happen are so funny

[@lydiacooper9260]

Lol, no no, late is late, last to arrive is still last to arrive. You guys are great

[@christinebaratta7117]

Wow Happy Birthday Hannah did I miss the vlog for it hope not she is my favorite

[@bell2171]

My LDS parents of 10 kids said this is where we are going. This is where you are sitting and pick what you are gonna eat. Everyone knew better than to complain.

[@amandacrisp0716]

Looks like lots of fun even if it's a bit stressful though!

[@natashaw401]

raelly liked seeing this adventures! server did so good not messing order way cool

[@ya.muvaaa2037]

So funny that the predictions were spot on 🤣🤣

[@shelbylorain14]

My daughter has the same LOL brush that Aurora has. I just noticed that while you were doing her hair haha

[@tamarabolden4382]

The predictions was on point 😂😂

[@justmamathings]

I don’t know if y’all have this restaurant where you live but Raising Canes would probably be the easiest place to go and order food for a large family because the menu is literally just chicken tenders and fries or maybe In & Out their menu is also super small.

[@trishallain6503]

I can't believe how much it cost. No wonder you don't go out to eat very often as a family. But I love the whole predicting growing on. That is the kind of thing my kids and I and my ex-husband, his girlfriend ( I love her ) and the in-laws do at the holidays. My youngest son and I usually are the last ones to get to my daughter and son-in-law 's house. We always go there now since my ex-husband and I sold the house. Their house is the only one that will hold us all. Lol

[@bcjrtmomtx]

Less than $20 per person isn’t bad at all

[@reneemartel8802]

I just love you family!! U all are just beautiful!💜

[@markclemente1503]

Honestly though, $300-400 for 18 people to go out eating isn't that bad. I remember my mother's ex spent over $400 for us to go out to eat in Virginia when they initially got together and that was only for 5 of us.

[@toasttothemoon]

What ever happened to Exciting News with Hannah the Banana from Atlanta? I think that series needs an update!😊

[@ashleymcintosh7165]

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious -- always a fun word to remember haha. I teach English in South Korea, so it is extra fun to confuse the children that it is actually a word, what it means, and challenge them to see who can memorize it.

[@MrJking065]

I have spent over $300 for a meal. But it was Ruth's Chris in Savannah GA. 😂😂The fact with that many children that there is not blood shed on occasion shows the Great Parenting skills. When My daughter and Son In Law want to go out to eat with us. It takes a act of Congress to come up with where we are eating. The only place we know for sure is our Grandson. He only eats Chick Fli A. So we stop by there on the way to where we finally decide to eat.
