Family of 12 ❤️ Easter Morning in NYC! 🗽2023

Our family of 12 spending Easter together. (Well mostly together...Josiah and Pearl had lessons today). Pearl also has a performance later today. So we headed to church with the youngest 8 kids. I tried out my "colored sticker" idea for the Easter egg hunt and it worked sort of... I picked too close of a color for Enoch and Josiah. Someone suggested I put an initial on the sticker too. That's a pretty good idea. In in the end everyone had a fun time eating their candy stash.😂 Even if finding the stash was a little challenging.... Melody had a little fall, but thankfully she is alright now. Then we dyed some Easter Eggs and had lunch! Happy Easter everyone! #largefamilylife

[@brendavitiello3955]

What a perfect Easter. Just enough candies and not loads of toys and gift cards. Beautiful healthy dinner!! 😊

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you! Yes Pearl’s potatoes were so yummy!❤️☺️She is a good cook!

[@leighscott1877]

The baby looks so grown up in his Easter clothes. Adorable!!

[@RebeccRuiz]

God Bless you and your family 🙏 you have some Beautiful talented children God Bless them 🙏 Be safe

[@shabbyshopper]

Great job keeping holidays in check, living a modest lifestyle, setting your children up for success and embracing family time over stuff!! ❤❤❤

[@TheHappyCaravan]

🙏❤️🥰

[@princess_maya_]

No one knows if these people are living a truly modest lifestyle or what happens behind closed doors. Josh Duggar is a prime example of that. Christianity is about a personal relationship with God, not performative legalism, which means nothing.

[@megb7491]

It's so nice that you have an outdoor space to enjoy in the city ! Happy Easter. :)

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you! Yes! We are so grateful for it!❤️☺️Happy Easter!

[@RyanAustin-ks7sd]

Aww, poor Melody. I hope she is okay now. I also hope you had a lovely Easter💙

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes! She is better. Thankfully it’s just a bruise. The same thing happened to Naomi and she needed two layers of stitches!

[@teresacamp1284]

Your children are so sweet and loving.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

🙏❤️

[@colleenobrien6185]

I'm amazed that you can find 10 colors of those plastic eggs! And you have an extremely fair way of dividing the treats using the different colors!

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you! Yes, the kids really enjoyed their treats! It took a bit of effort but they really appreciated it❤️☺️

[@Angel43920]

Happy Easter everyone 💐. Blessings to you all . Blessings family 🙏💞😇

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Happy Easter!🐣❤️

[@pam6804]

Oh I absolutely adore your family. Peal had my heart when she asked if the baby could use the basket because its bigger.❤❤❤ They absolutely love each other. GREAT JOB MOM AND DAD ❤❤❤❤

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you! Yes, Pearl is so so loving🥰

[@Orangejuice2313]

Moses looked so cute in his outfit. The Easter egg hunt looks like it was a hit, definitely worth the prep you put into it. Hope Melody is ok, that’s one big bump, bless her. ❤

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you! Yes Melody is doing much better today. I’m so glad she didn’t need stitches. ❤️

[@rebeccaharper7859]

Lovely to see there didn’t have to be numerous Easter Eggs for your children to appreciate and enjoy the Easter Egg hunt 😀 Lovely Easter food ❤

[@TheHappyCaravan]

❤️❤️❤️

[@glendaharding4884]

Looks like everyone had fun!!

[@lisaallen4475]

This was really lovely to watch. I spent the day alone today, so thank you for sharing this! ❤️ Fun tip for coloring the eggs next year. If you add a tablespoon of mineral oil to the dye, then you can dip in one color, dry it off, then dip in another color. It makes them look marbled!also, if you bend that wire tool for dipping at the bottom, it’s easier to dip the egg in the cup. 😎

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you! We had only dyed eggs once before so we were very new at it. I love thé tip❤️

[@marisolsanchez1638]

Pearl's dress is so beautiful! Happy Easter!

So love watching your videos, they have been a blessing! If you ever have any real estate questions please reach out! Even if it’s just for market advice or best ways to prepare for buying one day - NYC can be so hard to navigate. You have a lovely family and having studied music and the arts myself I’m truly awed by your families dedication and talent. Wishing you all a lovely Easter!

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you so much! I’ll definitely keep that in mind! Happy Easter to you too!❤️

Thank you! Yes! Poor Melody. It was so nice to see her smile again after that!❤️ Happy Easter!

[@whitneyspears793]

He is Risen! I came upon you all recently on KZbin. I really enjoy your channel! I lived in NYC for 7 years and pursued musical theater on Broadway. I understand how expensive it is and am very impressed that you all can raise 9 kiddos there! Phew. You all are sort of like a modern day Von Trapp family who plays strings! Keep up the great work! I’ll keep watching. I hope to see you all on the Today show if you haven’t been already! Best Whitney

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Aw thank you so much! That is encouraging!☺️🙏❤️

[@LottieXfern]

Really happy I’ve come across this channel! I love the whole family vibe and how peaceful this channel is, as well as the authenticity of everyone 😊

So glad everyone enjoyed Easter! I need a nap just watching your busy day! Do you have plans for your garden beds? It's so nice that you have a backyard! Do your children practice in the backyard during nice weather? Your neighbors would enjoy the music.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes! Naomi is so excited to plant things! Sometimes they play outside. The weather is so much nicer now!❤️

At least you got sun. My kids had to wear their rain gear to do their hunt. They had a blast though. We went to playground to do our hunt. When we were leaving another family showed up to do theirs. lol Kids don't care about rain! HAPPY EASTER!

Could you do a video on where Pearl's dresses are from, all your kids clothes are so cute.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Aw thank you! We got that dress from Boden but now she is a big girl and goes shopping on her own! I’ll have to ask her where she gets things. I know she likes Madewell too. She is good at finding sales!❤️

[@annpachini2155]

That was a cute idea with the stickers. I missed out on Peeps this year. I love Peeps but I like them stale. My boys never liked Peeps so I got to eat them every Easter. My husband asked me one time why I got the boys Peeps since they didn’t like them. I just grinned at him and proceeded to eat a Peep. He looked at me and said Oh. That was a great egg dyeing kit. Very vibrant colors. When my boys were little the dyeing kits weren’t that good. That was many years ago. My boys are 49, 47, and 43 😂😂😂

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Yes! Peeps were my favorite candy growing up.🥰 Those and Cadbury eggs!🙌🏼❤️

[@RubyTheToyFoxTerrier]

Happy Easter! He is risen, it is finished ☺️. I usually don’t do this but my sister and I used to be obsessed with playing Crystalize on our violins and I was wondering if you might play it? Just a suggestion! Your Easter seemed super fun, you are great parents ❤️.

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thanks! We’ll have to look that song up!❤️

[@RubyTheToyFoxTerrier]

It’s by Lindsey Stirling! The video is pretty cool too :)

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Thank you! Yes we have to pay for the subway, but the younger children are free. All we have to do is tap the phone as we go through the turnstiles and it automatically deducts the amount. It’s pretty amazing!

I was wondering why you schlep your family all the way downtown for church, but then I looked at the church’s website. It’s not a NYish kind of church. Maybe that’s the appeal.

Noticed you took away the previous vlogg. I still wanted to leave a response so you can think about it.I really don't like to leave negative comments. Everybody is entitled to feel the way they feel and have opinions about whatever they feel strong about. Im just a little confused. I'm so confused that you are ok with letting your older kid drink wine with older men in their 60's? First of all he is not 21! Second are you not scared that any of these older men could be pedofiles?Age doesn't always make you wiser! Im so confused with your long speech and then be ok with that? I would NOT be ok w my kids hanging with older men or woman drinking wine! My kids are 19 and 20!
