Christmas Eve 2021 | Spend the Day with Our Family!

[@tinan5349]

This is how Christmas should be, family fun and love.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thanks Tina! We had a great time and went to bed tired but content! Happy New Year!

[@jaybee608]

Wooo, that was a time! Shout out to the Towel warmer lady! That's a perfect gift for Alaskans. And Everett will use it!😃. All I see is love between the kids. The dinner looked delicious. I've never eaten game meat before, but the way Mark makes it, I'm down for it! And Everett, I like your hair before and after the cut. You are a cuttie!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

The towel warmer has been nice. The boys have been putting their blankets in there and it is so nice to wrap up in them. Mark really does a great job with the game meat and with the traeger grill it has been a great combo. Thankfully Everett quickly got over the shock of his haircut and has never mentioned it again!

[@marcellahicks3984]

Just like when they take your blanket out of the warmer at the hospital. I would be putting my socks, pants, coat and even my gloves.

[@mountainviewlifePNW]

There nothing like licking the frosting bowl to get over a haircut you don’t like lol 😆 I’ll have to remember that tip! Lol

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

HAHAHA! It sure made him forget really quick!

[@tammygeorge2756]

All the boys look even more handsome and a bit older after their hair cuts. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. Like many, I especially enjoys Everette’s nuggets of joy 🤩

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

😊 thank you! I am so thankful to capture so many little nuggets so we can look back on them! Merry Christmas and Happy New YEar!

[@sharoncoon5439]

Lauren I’m watching this in 2024 and when I had my nieces and nephews we used cheese all knives for tiny fingers. At the end I’d take their hands and trace them. Them loved and decorated to their heart’s content!!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Fun idea!

[@beckystokes9061]

Omg how funny is Everett and how happy he is with the towel warmer. 🤣🥰

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

yes! He was a big fan. The boys all had fun stuffing their blankets in them and then wrapping up in the warm!

[@andreabryant1131]

love the music!!

[@berniceb2636]

Hi Lauren This Alaska Life! You done a fantastic job on cutting everyone's hair! Lots of nice gifts! You're so multi talented in everything that you does! The food looks so delicious! Luna is so smart, she just jumped right over the hair. The kids are having a good time! Another great video!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I agree, it was so sad that he didn't like it but I think it was just the shock of it. Thankfully he never mentioned it again after the bath and has never mentioned it since. Thank you so much for being here with us!

[@jackiebest5613]

Nice job on the hair cuts. It’s very tiring getting ready for Santa lol. I know they were excited Christmas morning. See you soon Hamm family!

Awww what a lovely video, the magic of Christmas with children is the best memories ever, food looked good, plenty of icing for everitt 😉👍 where was Luna she didn’t make her appearance, I guess hiding from all the kiddies 🤣 🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

The kids were taking turns holding Luna hostage in the background. I should have made sure to get a video of her, either that or she was hiding (you were right on). Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!

[@donnamorgan6072]

Your family Christmas looks like so much fun. Making cookies and playing games was really cool! I know your exhausted but the memories of these can never be replaced. Your children will remember this their whole lives and will probably continue all your traditions! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Thank you sweet friend, glad this made you smile. Thankfully Everett got over the shock of the haircut and never mentioned it again after his nice bath. God bless you and thank you for being here!

[@marcellahicks3984]

Merry Christmas Eve!!! I was just so full of joy watching. And I think Monica, it must have made your day to see Everett's reaction to warm towels. They might get so hot, that claw will come into good use. Tell, Everett that Gary has one of those. Gary laughed so hard. He likes to use it to pull up his socks. Every once in a while he hands me something with it while we are reclining. Man's best friend, no kidding. Weston, Gary just loved that you played the Harmonica. Gary plays harmonica. We might have to send a nice harmonica and how too. The Harmonica is a great instrument for camping , around the campfire. Everyone plays piano and guitar, it is so good for your lungs. Lauren and Mark the dinner looked so good, Perfect menu, I could almost taste it. All the help from Everett and the claw. The cookie decorating was so fun. Santa surely loved them. The games were so fun. Can you make a list sometime. Sean, I can't believe you got the cookie in your mouth. Weston, might be a free diver. He could hold his breath. Keep playing the Harmonica. Lauren and Mark, it is all alot of work, but when you look back , I bet it warmed your heart. I really love you are showing this late. We were so busy too, I really have the time to enjoy. I think Everett needs to learn how to Hula Dance in Hawaii to get the Santa Card Moves. By the way that card is awesome. Mark and Lauren, all those cards and packages. It makes me so happy to see the LOVE. This Community loves your Family. Thank you. I bet you are now taking it all in. Know the prayers for your Family will never cease. If Jesus taught us anything, it is to LOVE BIG, obviously this is your prayer. God bless

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much for all of your kindness. I had to laugh when I was editing the video because the claw kept showing up everywhere. He really loves that thing! You never know what things will bring them so much joy, and the claw has been one of those things! I love the idea of learning the harmonica and I agree that Weston had good lungs doing the M&M's!! He was so quick and had such good control. Thank you for the love and prayers. We are grateful that our videos bring you joy. Happy New year, may you have a blessed year ahead!

[@karenleemallonee684]

Christmas Eve, what a special time! The boys hair cuts turned out great, Everett's little face tho, I don't think I've seen him upset. Soon it was forgotten! All the work you did in the kitchen preparing all the food, Mark & the boys pitching in to help with the cleaning...loved it! The food looked so delicious, homemade everything, yum! I loved all the games you had the kids play, they really had a lot of fun! Opening the gifts from the Cousins, that was a blast, fun was had by all! Seeing you in bed at the end, I definitely understood, that was one long day!!! Thank you for sharing this special day with us, it truly warmed my heart!!! 🌼

Everett looks adorable! It broke my heart seeing him upset! He's so handsome! He's such a good helper! He's gets so excited with every present he opened! The games looked like so much fun! He did such a good job on decorating cookies for Santa! He was so proud! He was definitely on a sugar high! 😂 Looks likes all the kids had a good time!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

We really had the best time. Everett was ALL IN for Christmas this year. He loved every single activity, treat, and present. It was so fun to experience it all through him. When I was feeling tired I heard him happily saying " this is going to be so much fun" and it was the boost I needed to keep going. Thankfully he got over the haircut quickly and never mentioned it again after the bath, and never since. Happy new year!
