THIS YEARS CHRISTMAS SURPRISE MADE ME CRY - 2023 HOME IN HAWAII

Oh and one last thing.. 36 days until our book comes out!! Pre-order the book here: thebucketliststudios.com/page...
Good Morning from Hawaii!
This year, we decided to spend Christmas at home in Hawaii. Typically, I'm not one for a tropical Christmas (I'm a Colorado girl at heart!) but I was ready to spend some time at home after being on the road a lot this year.
We enjoyed our kid's school holiday program, some fun time with our friends and doing all of our family Christmas traditions. I'm forever grateful to Garrett for recording and editing these movies. We love to watch them together as a family all throughout the year.
Wishing you all the best in 2024!
Jessica and The Bucket List Family

HAPPY 2024! Comment where in the world you are watching from!

Hohewacht, Germany❤

[@jessuseprocreate9757]

Happy new year watching from California ❤

[@betha7296]

Just flew back from Nepal and Sri Lanka now watching from London 🇬🇧

[@traceypainter187]

Watching from Arizona ❤❤❤❤❤

[@johannabrau8384]

Hello from Austria 💕

[@priscillar6707]

I love how these kids aren’t scared to swim with wales, scuba dive with sharks and zip line over ravines, but get scared of pulling out their teeth. Y’all are super human 💪❤

[@jopogorzelski126]

I love how your family gets thoughtful gifts and not going overboard as some families on KZbin do. You are showing your kids the real meaning of Christmas. ❤

[@YenellyT]

I started watching family fizz cause they were also a travel fam, and they always gave little thoughtful gifts for christmas, it was sooo wholesome. Although their kids are still super humble and grateful, I feel like now they over do it with the luxury and the parents don't seem as humble lol. I love how after years the bucket list family has not changed at all!

[@emmiloub8699]

​@jbmcldm1 yep they are awful now, I haven't watched them for ages now coz I csnt bare them especially the parents and the oldest girl the mother is encouraging the oldest and its not a good look when parents are trying their hardest to be kids best friends

[@kalinamalina4492]

Yes, you can clearly see that the best part for kids is hugging each other

[@carolinemilburn7128]

I was about to say that too!! I love seeing simple and meaningful gifts not crazy amounts of technology and stuff

[@YenellyT]

I still enjoy them sometimes, the kids are super good kids and so grateful, But they did change sooo much omg. I loved brataylay too they felt cozy IDK if that makes sense lol, jules does family vlogs on her channel now which feels nostalgic af. But I hope this family stays just as awesome@@emmiloub8699

[@carolinemilburn7128]

I love how simple and sweet their Christmas is!! Showing that big gifts aren’t everything. Especially with like how other KZbinrs go overboard. very sweet and meaningful

[@darcyrobb3692]

Agree. So overboard are so many YT on Christmas & Birthday Gifts; also why are yt posting what I got my kids.. why?🫤

[@nancyfarkas3592]

@@darcyrobb3692 cause they want to show off. Which I find distasteful. I don’t need to see three hours of kids opening massive amounts of expensive gifts

[@mitziwn]

I love how excited Dorothy is for scrapbooking! The books will last forever and be more meaningful than digital! Yay!!!!

[@alatsey94]

Sooo many sweet, simple moments. Dorothy, Manilla, and Cali have the biggest hearts, I just love those kids. ❤️💙💚 I teared up watching Dorothy read Santa’s letter about his surprise gift, “just this year.” 🥹 25:42 . It’s bittersweet watching kids grow up. You’ve done such a great job instilling so many traditions and values in the kids that Christmas will always be full of Santa’s magic for them, no matter how old they are. ❤️ Manilla asking “why was it us?”26:00 is SO Manilla! 💙💙 and Cali’s “we made some mistakes” is perfect 😂 The two boys hugging got me 😭 32:24

[@lovebocol2758]

Love how dad takes care of a daughter suffering from toothache ❤ so thoughtful and sweet

[@Taylorunicorn]

It was so sweet when Manilla said "why us? We made _some_ mistakes." We all make mistakes, thats what makes us human and he is actually a step ahead of alot of people because he is aware of his mistakes. These parts gave me a good giggle: "Good night to all and tonight" & -Christmas ya filthy Animal- "Happy New Year and Don't Be an Animal" 🎉😂

[@Taylorunicorn]

Also a highlight Dad- Who's that from? Dorothy- Cali Cali- I KNEW IT!! 😂😊❤

[@pirinitetefunnell9717]

It’s always so beautiful to see you the bucket list family ( live life through what’s provided for us ) to be connected with the ocean, to feel safe around animals, to love and appreciate family and each other, I think it’s storytelling to be able to showcase and embrace love/gift giving to one another and to see each year you guys do it is always amazing. To see everyone’s emotions light up knowing the other person has put thought and love into there gift is always beautiful to see 💛 I just know Dorthy,Manilla and Cali are going to create such magical, creative and storytelling scrap books throughout 2024 , filled with love, photos, memories, story’s and there present of the moment that they can look back on , Garrett’s is creating these films to guidance not only the audience of the world to feel connected/ explore, to learn and to try something new but to create these films for his family , so to see Dorthy start a journey creating cute scrap books along side Manilla and Cali is amazing 💛🌼 Another amazing film ! Beautiful songs throughout the film - this film captured the feeling of being home surrounded by people you love, watching your mum back and now having a memory of her cinnamon baking aroma through the kitchen, it captured the magic we great to bring live to our younger generation/kids And lastly it showcased that everyday we learn, we see, we hear, we love and we express 💛🌼 I love how Cali not only recognised his mistakes but he waited, listened to garrets advise and got back up and carried on 🌟 It’s always a joy/fulfilling watching your family movies throughout these years another great video/short film, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEARRR 💛🌼🌟✨

[@darlahardy3386]

Dorothy you will have many hours of wonderful fun and memories with the scrap booking. If you don't know much about scrap booking, ask your mom or dad to take you to a scrap book store and they will show you. It won't take long at all before you are off and running on your own and creating your pages your way with what you learned. You have so many things to journal and scrap book even as young as you are!!!!!

[@kaholton1]

When dorthy gave calli a big hug that made my week 🎉

[@strawonwalls2534]

It has been yearrrs since I last watched you guys, I miss my old KZbin recommendations

[@shanadey1368]

when Cali said " we made some mistakes" 😂 so pure and cute, I loved this such a sweet Christmas! Happy 2024!

[@vanessawhite2947]

South Harting, Hampshire UK. Manilla you brought tears to my eyes, it could be just anyone, however Santa chose you 3, love you guys, your purity, joy, happiness and love for each other is out of this world 🗺

[@cparker7431]

I love how loving and full of enchantment the kids are still. What a beautiful family! Great job mom and dad!! I love following your adventures!!!!

[@tiffinyanderson4403]

My father worked in a middle eastern country and eventually we had to got to boarding schools. I remember each month I would receive the National Geographic magazines and spend hours going through them. It helped with being homesick. My dad had a subscription too and we would both go through them and mark the pages and discuss the articles. You’re parents are a reflection on what great parents you both are.

[@yvonnekneeshaw2784]

Appreciate seeing the nativity scene play … it represents hope in my life. Wishing you ALL blessings in 2024 🇨🇦 ❤

[@mylife4109]

Hey Bucket list family. I’m watching from Louisville Kentucky. It’s awesome that your kids are so thankful over the most simple things . They don’t care for overly extravagant things. I love that you’re taking them to Antarctica. I’m hoping that one day I’ll will have the ability to visit and experience Antarctica myself and get photos and video . Thank you for sharing with us your trips and adventures. It really uplifts people’s hearts and hopes. Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

[@suzique6924]

Well helicopters and business class are pretty nice gifts

[@reneebarrow4697]

Ya'll have the best kids. They did so well on the long flights. I loved the nativity program and the clips of the other programs and the way ya'll delivered the treats to everyone. I was so glad to see ya'll at church. Teaching your kids the real reason of Christmas. Ya'll are teaching your kids well. Ya'll are lucky to travel to so many places, but there is no place like home to spend Christmas with each other. Thanks for sharing your family Christmas with us. I teared up a few times. Loved how the kids all hugged each other including ya'll and your love for each other. Ya'll picked out the best presents ever. It's good to see all the love. ❤ I can't believe you left us hanging for the last present. 😂 Hurry up and show us. Don't leave us hanging for weeks. I'm so excited to see what it is. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🎅 and a very Happy New Year.🎉🥳 God Bless your family.❤

[@MM-tw6cm]

Garret, Jess, Dorothy, Manila and Calahan- you guys have just lived your lives in front of the camera doing your things, My couch never changes but thanks to your travels I am put in awe with where you have been and what you have seen. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year ! ........wait - what ? use the sketch books on the trip to Antarctica !! :) Wooohoooo !- oh yeah - from Ottawa Ontario 16 floors up !

Awesome how you managed to keep the magic in Christmas and still raising grateful kids as they know some gifts don’t come from Santa. Besides they also did wonderful gifts to each other ! ❤

[@NiclasLinden]

[@sarahrex9127]

All your gifts are tools to grow a new skill or improve an existing one. You have taught your children what it means to accomplish goals, and that in it's self is a true gift. I love the kids reaction when you kiss . Too funny. Happy 2024

Happy New Year 2024 from Arkansas. Thank you for showing your personal life and your Christmas gifting. I love that you are teaching your children to give from the heart and that its not about how big or how much something cost. The next book needs to be how to teach parents and kids to appreciate the simple things in life and to love each other unconditionally. Good Job family.
