This is one of my favorite videos you record every year and this year it was made even better by mom being on the mend. Cheers to you and the whole family!

Wow how time flies when you are having family fun! So glad to see you Mom feeling better. Your boyfriend Ryan is a cutie! Your Dad is too funny! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Merry Christmas! Always love your festivities with your family. Thank you for a little Christmas gift of sharing Ryan with us. Your happiness means a lot to all of us. May you and your family be blessed with happiness, good health and love next year.

[@amandabelanger246]

Merry Christmas to us with a sneak peek of Ryan!!!! He is a cutie!!! Love how happy and giggly you are with him!

[@krissyk354]

Do my eyes deceive me.. is that ryan? 👀 Never would have i thought to see him face to face 😅 So happy he fits right in with ur family. It’ll def be an annual tradition for sure 😊

[@ManmeetKaur0]

who is ryan?

[@melissalewis8803]

Don't post stuff like this. She is a private person and this is absolutely infringing on that. If I were you, I would delete out of respect for her.

[@ManmeetKaur0]

​@@melissalewis8803i mean she did tell us his name and showed his face.(i think)

[@amanda1200]

@@melissalewis8803umm clearly she wrote his name she’s said she will show him once and while just not a fully!

[@krissyk354]

@@melissalewis8803umm she told us his name is ryan. A few times actually. I don’t think mentioning his name is infringing her privacy. There are worse cases out there where everyone is stalking him and his socials.

[@rachelw8549]

Love this annual vlog! Also I'm a few days late to the soft boyfriend launch but I'm so happy to see you so happy! 🥰

[@taryngunhold4014]

Not the hard launch of Ryan being an AI photo lol obsessed

Cocktail tree needed twinkle lights!!

[@MySparkles88]

I’ve been waiting for this and it didn’t disappoint! I don’t really drink but yours looked so so good! Your bf looks and sounds so cute! I love how happy you both sound and the way you look at him is so sweet ❤

[@josielane2016]

Tara! You said in the last vlog that you wanted a bookshelf in your home so bad and I was thinking you and your dad could build a built in bookcase under the windows in your room. You could do the left and middle side of the cutout and then add a chair in the right side or vise versa to go with your original idea of having chairs there. Or even just one in the middle with two chairs on the sides if you have room

[@josielane2016]

Or on either of the landings to your room or the guest room

[@YomarisCastro]

Tara as a procrastinator myself, I say this with love but you need at least a week to prepare for the drink competition and look at online recipes. You know the competition is intense 😂 specially with your dad

[@DarcyMarieTCB]

You should have done string lights drapped around your drink tree stand. That would've looked amazing!! Fun and exciting video! Merry Christmas Tara and family!!❤🎄🎅🏻🎁
