CHRISTMAS MORNING SNOWED IN! Family Travel Home and Polar Dip Challenge.

We journeyed home from Africa on Qatar Airways in their incredible QSuite. It made a 17 hour flight with 3 kids not just survivable, BUT ENJOYABLE!
www.qatarairways.com/
This year we gifted families trips home to see their loved ones for Christmas. We are grateful for our partners IHG Hotels and Resorts. They have wonderful brands like Intercontinental, Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza, so please check them out for your next epic adventure!

We ourselves haven’t been “home” in Colorado for 2 years so we went to surprise our family! We flew to Colorado to see family for a few days and then took off in search of SNOW! Boy, did we find it in Lake Tahoe! We enjoyed a wonderful and cozy Christmas as a family. We are so grateful for this precious time together with our young children and we will cherish these memories forever. We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and holiday season. We have more snowy Lake Tahoe adventures ahead!

Totally, Absolutely right. I don't have kids but I do share their videos to my friends and family. Spread the goodness, kindness and importance of family to the whole world.

I'm so cracking up at Cali's counting: "One...Two...Eleven...Twelve!" and then "How many did you get, Cali? TEN!" He is so stinkin cute!!

I was laughing at that also. It was so cute to watch him look at those and then hand one to everyone in the family.

Is it just me or has Cali grown so much during the summer. Not only physically, but also mentally.

Most definitely! I was thinking the very same!

Yes he is a little boy now

[@MsWDWFAN1]

You're raising some sweet & grateful children. It's refreshing to see they appreciate the little things that have more meaning. Something as simple as cotton candy, marshmallows or homemade jewelry is just as appreciated as the walkie talkies or the shaved ice machine. Love that they say thank you, Merry Christmas & give hugs after each gift is opened. It's so beautiful! That's how you raise good children.

[@Oamanda6]

Loved this. Totally how it should be done. Nothing over the top, gifts that mean something. And life experiences everyday that can't be bought. You're raising some awesome kids guys ❤️❤️ Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all got what you need instead of what you may have wanted ❤️❤️

I loved giving Disney gifts to my little cousins in prep for the first trip to Disney World! 🏰🎆 Favorite gift was gathering together at my grandma’s after 2 years. 🥰And Bucket List shirts and WILDLIFE (technically haven’t received that yettt but it will be a fav when it arrives tomorrow! 🤗)

[@roetilliceline2917]

I love how they teach the kids to not only receive but also give. To choose minimalist, meaningful gifts.

[@charlieclark2609]

I've never seen a more loving family. Its nice to see kids laughing, no fighting, no yelling, and the parents being good to them.

[@debbieklose8776]

This family 100% belongs together!! I’ve never witnessed ever such beautiful flow with simplicity and ease within a family as this. The longing for a family as this doesn’t even make me jealous or angry that I had the total opposite in my life. It’s impossible to feel anything but love while watch this bucket list family engage together. 💝

[@rachelwilson9480]

The way your family does Christmas is the way it should always be! No crazy expensive gadgets and a mountain of presents, just thoughtful gifts and lots of hugs! LOVE your Christmas videos every year!

[@inesstrunk809]

Wichtig sind gemeinsame Erlebnisse und dauerhafte Erinnerungen. Diese Kinder werden schon das ganze Jahr beschenkt. Mit anderen Dingen. Sportgeräte, Bekleidung, Freizeitaktivitäten, Überraschungen. Auch Spielzeug. Nur sehen Sie das nicht.

I love how they love the small things.. they don’t need anything big, they’re happy just getting anything.. humble little kids.. the best part is the memories they are making.. they’re going to grow up being amazing people… can’t wait to see what they grow up to be… wish more kids could be like them…

[@angelarivard8326]

It makes me so happy that every present was followed by hugs! As it should be, you guys are amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

[@elliejobe2512]

A wonderful family. Seems like yesterday they were little kids, Cali not even born yet and now look at them! I love how every day Cali looks more & more like his brother. Love how they weren't showered with expensive gifts & how they were happy to get each one. Most of all it shows that the kids really love & like each other, they are not fighting or trying to out do each other. Good kids, good parents.

[@Jana_1213]

I’m in tears ... the good kind. Seeing Manilla get so excited about a bag of marshmallows just melts my heart. ♥️ You’re raising such awesome kids and it’s pure joy to be able to follow along. Thank you and Merry Christmas!🎄

[@svb6607]

Hello Bucket List Family, all the way from Brisbane Australia. I came upon your Posts when I was surfing through random KZbin videos, and I instantly fell in love with the joyous way you raise your beautiful children. What a pleasure it is to watch your little ones grow and learn in each video, as you show them patience, thoughtfulness and most importantly - love. In a world where we see unkind things in so many areas, it is incredibly refreshing and a whole lot of fun to see your family thrive as a family of 5. Thank you for sharing your lives with us all. Big hugs, and Merry Christmas 2022. Love from Shane, Donna, Hamish & Brian

[@addylove9043]

The kids are so grateful for anything they get, saying thank you and hugging who the gift was from every present they got! Raised so well and are so lucky to have the life they have, and they know it.

[@torythomason5202]

I loved when yall all hugged your mom Jessica... I lost my mom in 2020 and those hugs are something you cherish always!

[@kassiopiajudkins2722]

I lost my mom in November 2019, so I can kind of guess how you're feeling. I hope you find time, between the tears, to smile and remember all the love and joy she brought to your life and I'm sure the rest of your family's lives as well. You are in my thoughts and hopefully our mothers are meeting each other in the great beyond, becoming friends and watching over us. Lots of love to you during this holiday season!

you have taught them to be so grateful and respectful, and no consumed by material items, instead memories and experiences, ive seen many Christmas specials where children get so much they can't possibly appreciate it all. even tho you might have the financial means to do so, it isn't your Motive. well done family. you are amazing

[@kay4801]

I absolutely loved this video. While you guys were surrounded by the tree opening presents, I started to cry. 😭 You guys didn’t have a ton of presents under the tree, yet you were all SO THANKFUL and SO HAPPY for what you did receive. Even though some of the gifts were small like the water bottle sticker Dorthy received, or the candy, but you guys were all so appreciative, hugging each other and saying, “Merry Christmas.” It truly reminds you what the season is REALLY all about. It’s not about big lavish gifts, or who gets more presents, but it is about FAMILY. What a wholesome, beautiful video. ❤️ You guys make so much content of all of your travels which are amazing, but being back in the states and having alone time with your family, and just having a simple, special video, it was probably one of my favorites. ❤️ Merry Christmas, Bucket List Family. 🎄

Kinda sad that it never worked out for our family to travel with kids but I am definitely now a home body and I love living my other life through you guys!
