Vlogmas Day 10 | Mele Ikea-Maka is the Swedish Way, to Say Merry X-Mas to You

[@lindseycarter2969]

As a former preschool teacher the “I’ll sing the ABCs but I don’t want to talk about letters” made me laugh so hard I had to pause for a minute. Oh their little minds are amazing

[@lindseyrschultz]

I totally thought it was Tyler leaning into the joke about how exciting it is to watch him patch drywall. I didn't even think that it might have been a mistake.

[@eblechle]

I thought the same thing too.

[@ThisPrettyLittleLife]

Same! Like watching paint dry 😂

[@mlee1285]

Haha, same!!

[@kmoo4161]

Me too! I thought it was funny and clever 🤣

[@courtneyungechauer3764]

Me too 😂

[@julieheim8913]

The closeup of Pinocchio’s face watching Gigi eating her popcorn was hysterical! Was literally laughing out loud! Love your vlogmas every year!!!🎅🏻🤣🤪🤩🥰

[@shannonleonhardt5140]

Yes!!! Tim Curry face to the max!

[@amyjohnson5839]

Cracking me up

[@whisperitza7912]

the look Pinocchio had on its face like a mini grinch 🤣

[@kelly82485]

I could not stop laughing 🤣

[@bibliotecaron]

Such a beagle thing to do... those sad eyes at the same time just begging for one little morsel.

[@tashabrooks4577]

“I’ll sing the ABC’s but I don’t want to talk about it” had me rolling! I feel you girl! 🤣 My daughter was making a mess yesterday. I said “you are getting crumbs everywhere”. She replied with “that’s just part of having kids”. 😅

[@Seneca_Sister]

So hilarious! Manage expectations early.

[@BlingyBea]

Cute

[@TinaC982]

Ok Pinocchio trying to use the force to will Gigi to drop her popcorn is EVERYTHING! 😂😂❤️❤️🐶🐶

[@antoinettecollin3121]

The cutest

[@leahk9943]

I wonder if a completely ✨silent✨ montage of Gigi’s room is in our future.

[@Monkeyluva311]

I really thought the silent drywall situation from yesterday was just a point to make it as dry and unexciting as you possibly could 🤣🤣🤣 I was like haha! Fool you as I find this really relaxing 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I’ll just sink back into my darkness of the Internet now…. 🤣

[@melissak5663]

Pinocchio while Gigi was eating popcorn: "Come on kid drop one dont let me down!!!"🤣🤣🤣🤣❤

[@kelseyschutte4370]

So glad you got your wallet back! Thank goodness there's still good people in the world 🙌 this is the perfect way to wind down at the end of the day ❤

[@ilona134]

As a kid tha had a pink room a grew out of it I highly recommend choosing the most neutral pink you can unless you are looking to repaint

[@juliewells4282]

Yes go very light and pale with the pink

[@virtualjoke]

Yes, or just do pink accessories 😊

[@Jeanne0130]

LOL omg Jess' stunned face when Gigi said "NO" to the hot cocoa 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 y'all have been such a joy to watch!

[@shawnconover00]

I love how similar you guys talk! When you look at each other while telling stories you can just see how much you get each other! And how much you laugh at each other💛 it reminds me of me and my husband.. it’s rare to see but so sweet:)

[@hollyguacamole]

You had my husband and I cracking up while discussing your drywall montage. We were watching it through our (very old) Roku and assumed our audio gave out lol. Thank you both for the laughs!!

[@Kyriaki_Ltr]

same here but on my phone, I had to double check the sound was on 😂😂

[@cassie7792]

I like that the thing that registers as “something happening” is forgetting music and not spilling the baby beans. 🤣 love your vlogmas! Happy holidays!

[@kayleenburdick]

I never get tired of seeing your backyard. 😭 It's absolutely beautiful and had me looking for places like that to move to. I keep showing my boyfriend every time I see it and tell him that's where I want to live. 😂 Gigi with the, no, yes, no, yes. 😂😂 That is a mood. Hahaha and Pinocchio staring her down while the Grinch music is playing in the background is perfect!

[@dinarenzi8220]

Hey Jessica you should have picked up that Advent calendar at IKEA. It has an IKEA gift card inside along with a free meatball meal gift card. I have worked at IKEA for 13 years now. Love your channel and been following you since you were teaching. Happy Vlogmas!!!!😂

[@juliesughrue1736]

This may have been one of my favorite Vlogmas episodes of all time! I cracked up at the silent drywall part - I also thought my audio might have cut off! The Home Alone house reference in IKEA was incredible - I never noticed how the entire house was all red and green growing up, but now it is all I see! And yes to olive oil on popcorn - SO good!!

[@marissae5697]

I’m so glad you’re painting Gigi’s room pink for her! I remember my parents let me pick the carpet and blinds for my new room and even though my Dad and our contractor kinda hated the color, I loved that it was mine

[@Shay2theT]

I love that Jess sneakily made Tyler say he loves us when we already know he does not. 😢 lol

[@allison11789]

Anyone else notice at minute 11 where that pink coat looks like Gigi is just conked out on a pile of Ikea stuff in the back seat? Definitely did a double take 😂

[@EvelynSanchez463]

🤣 I had to go back and re-watch ! You’re so right 😂

[@teganmartin8751]

Watch “Bluey” with Gigi! I’m just gonna keep commenting this until you hopefully see it. Such a great show and it’s about a family with two girls, so really fitting. Upvote if you are a “Bluey” fan :)

[@hannahz6848]

I love Bluey! It’s my favorite out of all my son watches.

[@Gocarolina84.]

The pink jacket in the back of the car when you guys are leaving ikea totally looks like gigi laying face down lol i also watched the new sex and the city tonight and i UGLY cried through both episodes. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts Jess!

[@KenzieRaee27]

Tyler: “I’ve done no training for this” Me: there’s been like three different races in this vlogmas 😂 Gigi is the cutest!! 😂😂

[@JessAdams863]

Sending my kids to preschool was the best decision ever! It taught them so much more than I ever expected. Good for guys! 😁

[@Allieh]

My husband has been keeping all Star Wars related books and stuff away from our oldest kid so he could be properly shocked at that reveal! 😂 Like, anything that comes into the house gets promptly squirreled away in some cubby. LAST NIGHT WAS THE NIGHT! It was super awesome to watch him see it for the first time, I will say! ❤️

[@melanieglover4779]

My immediate response to the “we have something of yours” was “nice try Warren Buffet!!!!”

[@triciag7040]

The kindness of strangers. We need more if it! So glad you got it back! I just love watching these. I always leave feeling happier!

[@carlylitichevsky4300]

We live 9 hours ahead of the East coast, so these always hit in the morning when I am getting ready for my day. Always happy to start my day with you! ☀️

[@mysticmama_3692]

I know its just her jacket, but In the car, it totally looks like y'all are just driving around while gigi is just laying face down on top of the boxes. I had to do a double take, 🤣🤣🤣

[@lehlah]

You guys crack me up at the end 😂 there's indeed an expiration date on spoilers, especially with Star Wars lol

[@catherinenaylor495]

I honestly thought the drywall silence was intentional by Tyler for dramatic effect

[@chellecopley67]

Whoo Hoo!!! Good luck Tyler! omgosh Pinocchio's face whilst watching Gigi eat popcorn was hilarious! He is such a good boy! Our girls would have whined, begged and thrown a literal fit lol I can't express how dang much I am enjoying Vlogmas ya'll!

[@MadeUpLikeADoll]

Thank God for the good people still in this world doing the right thing. I need this tile card thingy you mentioned. It sounds Genius, even though it didn't alert you. Cute cardigan. Singing and no talking guys 😂😂

[@kaileylayne7224]

Hello from Orkney Scotland! I didn’t realise how long I have been watching your videos until I just rewatched your proposal and wedding videos today. It brings me much comfort and holiday cheer to watch you during the holidays when my family isn’t here yet. A long journey moving from TX to Orkney 😅. You have such a beautiful family - thank you for working so hard and sharing your memories and moments with everyone. I always look forward to your uploads. Happy Christmas and Yuletide Blessings xx - Kailey

[@rachelstafford602]

I totally watched you patch holes to silence and thought nothing odd of it 😂 Jess I got the SNL reference as soon as you started 👏👏👏😊

[@bananacreampie28]

I burst out laughing at GiGi and her letters 😂😂😂 And then Jessica’s face mimicking the dry walling cracked me up too.

[@megb5387]

Pinocchio eyeballing Gigi while she ate her popcorn was so funny! And your giggles and zooming in made it even better! 😂

[@samanthafrewinvallings3975]

Poor Nocchi, his face watching Gigi eat, made me laugh out loud 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ashleywilson4272]

I remember many vlogs ago when Gigi was a baby.... Jessica said she's saving the Disney popcorn buckets for when Gigi can have popcorn and movie nights❤

[@makeupgrl24]

My favorite way to season popcorn, is tossing it in oil and the Umami Mushroom seasoning from Trader Joe’s. It’s soooo good!

[@jenfarina1892]

I would have never thought of that but I have that seasoning. I'll have to try it!

[@tinag7381]

Gigi chewing popcorn with Pinocchio watching was priceless♡

[@elleolani808]

Fyi, I was ENTHRALLED by the silent drywall patching! My eyes were glued

[@LinaCT25]

Loved the Pinocchio close up! Dogs are the best! Can't wait to see Gigi's new room.

[@Idol-hours]

At 10:22 totally thought Gigi was asleep face down 🤣

[@jessicarooney9580]

The close up of Pinocchio watching Gigi eat popcorn is literally my dog, except mine also has drool dripping down from both sides. So funny!

[@cmschmidt]

I love How the Grinch Stole Christmas and I watch it every year. I still grin like a crazy person and sing all the songs even as a 42 year old woman. I love these vlogs and look forward to them every year.

[@Mcphiforever]

Never even noticed it was weird.. 😆 just watching Tyler patching up dry wall.. Im from India and watch these while having breakfast. 😊😊

[@tamrakayoborn1531]

We were given an air pop corn popper for a wedding gift 37 years ago and it still works!

[@heatherbrien5250]

That's really funny about the silent dry walling moment. I thought it was a stylistic choice you made at the time but now this makes more sense!

[@shannonkahermanes6080]

These are the best vlogmas names of all time.

[@nicolette8909]

Ah Mama Chia! My old marketing professor at San Diego State + his wife are the owners. He was my favorite professor and took the time to personally care for and support each student. They are such wonderful people - a fabulous business to support! ♥️

[@cindyisbell1245]

She don't mind eating the popcorn, but she does not want to talk about it!😁

[@Bellebtrfly]

Lol I noticed the no music during the drywall but totally forgot to mention it in the comments by the time I got to the end of the video, I thought something was wrong with my audio too 😂 I love Jessica's comment about "as if drywall couldn't get more boring!" Too funny!!

[@roseg1333]

Gigi with her alphabet song 😂😂🤣 and Pinocchio with his grinch peeps 👀 on Gigi’s popcorn 🍿 I can’t 🤣🤣😆😂

[@natalie6117]

15:44 THE UTTER LOOK OF SHOCK ON JESS’ FACE WHEN GIGI SAID NO TO COCOA 🤣💀🤣😂😂🤣💀💀 that part had me dying

[@biancagorospe8706]

Omg little Gigi is starting preschool! Time flies ❤️

[@EvaraLia]

I literally started making popcorn and hot chocolate when I started this episode and commented to my partner how it might be an odd combo but they both sounded good. 😂

[@kzfingerprint]

I love that Jess overexplains things, so relatable. Lol 😆

[@chiknlittle]

I always watched the cartoon grinch when I was a kid, then I watched it when I was older and I was like “why is it so short?”. I never realized as a kid it’s such a short movie! 😂

[@robinnieto2703]

Now that I’ve watched you make popcorn, I need to go eat some. 😊 Looking forward to seeing Gigi’s big sister room.

[@At0micAllison]

😂😂 I noticed the silent drywall patching, and I thought it was odd, but thought maybe I just didn’t “get” it. That’s so funny 😆

[@Goriewhorie]

As a pre school teacher the whole”I’ll sing the abcs but not talk about them” is hilarious. I’ve heard a version of that before from a class😂

[@toria2079]

I am obsessed with the Braun family vlogmas…that is all…💚💚💚

[@NatalieYTFoster]

Pinocchio’s face when Gigi was eating the popcorn 😂. I seen a spoiler for sex and city reboot too and was so annoyed!!

[@ashleya1892]

Pinocchio with that music in the background from the Grinch!! HAHA IM DYING 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@suzannebradbury]

But that was the beauty of silent dry wall. No distractions. Just pure Tyler covering holes.

[@lisadecker7240]

THANKU GUYS for getting me through this time last year,as my MaMa. was dying from advanced lung cancer, I watched ur videos multiple X's each day while constantly watching her ( she passed January 8th 2020) and NOW I am watching U guys again) U are a true inspiration!!! LOVE uR content) I LOVE UR FAMILY!!!! Hoping I guys have a VERY BLESSED CHRISTMAS!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@tamekocollins6412]

I think I’ve laughed out loud at something from every Vlogmas video so far. 😂 Thanks for bringing us all so much cheer!

[@TaraK172]

When you had the drywall scene without noise my husband and I started our own Mystery Science Theater commentary🤣🤣🤣

[@shaelynlantz1357]

You guys made me want to watch cartoon Christmas movies and have popcorn and hot coco and I don’t even have a kid to watch cartoon Christmas movies with😂

[@lexiewiley6068]

We have the Mona Lisa hanging above our toilet in the bathroom. It gets a good laugh! Always!

[@melneal7396]

They drywall thing was hilarious! I just thought Tyler was trying some new silent filming artsy thing 🤣🤣

[@amandastone348]

Haha I didn’t even pay attention to the no sound to drywall. But day 9 is missing your cute vlogmas logo at the intro. I think I speak for us all when I say these small quirks give us giggles and show us how human you are ❤️😂

[@shannonleonhardt5140]

I may have to get that popcorn machine bc no matter what there is always either burned popcorn or wasted unpopped kernels in the microwave!

[@kelly82485]

I know! Now I want 1!

[@jesslovesstuff_]

I'm dying at how you guys talked at the same time towards the end of the vlog and Jessica knew the reference and Tyler just went with it 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@kelseywhite5956]

That is absolutely hilarious because I was laughing so hard at the silent dry wall montage hahahaha

[@mauranoonan8951]

The tornadoes were devastating. I feel terrible for those affected.

[@TanikaJaun]

Jess - 'as if you can make dry wall more boring' 😂😂😂 after Tyler was all nervous that the drywall content would be boring

[@jkschnik6952]

Ok I thought it was supposed to be silent when he was doing drywall. LOL!

[@stephanietorres5679]

Pinocchio looked funny while you guys were watching the grinch.

[@kelseyocon]

I have lost my wallet twice! once fell off the hood of my car at a gas station and once in the back of a cab after a night out (whoops). I live in Maine and strangers both times have gone above and beyond to get it back to me. Grateful to be somewhere where people are kind!

[@robinrichmond6286]

Poor Pinocchio wanted that popcorn. I used to give my dogs popcorn in their own bowl. A vet told me it was a perfect safe snack for them.

[@heidi4614]

I hear the storms last night were horrible. Hope everyone is okay.

[@jennymonne4797]

I love the green ikea kitchen! It’s my favorite to walk by when I visit my ikea

[@jennd1229]

My husband walked in while I was watching the other video and asked if I was watching instructional videos on putting up drywall 🤣 it was great!

[@julieo4580]

They have silicone popcorn bowls and you can put kernels in and put the little lid on and microwave the popcorn in it. It’s great!!

[@TheDillyyyyy]

When you turn on the popcorn machine, you can put the butter in the little scoop that goes on top, that you use to put on the corn, and the butter melts of the heat and is ready when the popcorn is ready :)

[@milliecutie1080]

Pinocchio grudging Gigi every piece off popcorn!!!😂😂😂

[@rockychelle6362]

Gigi looks like she’s laid out in the backseat face down LOL. I kept waiting for you to notice in the camera!! Too funny😂😂

[@allierein4307]

Around 10:30 it’s so funny the pink coat looks like Gigi just laying in the back 😂

[@m_chell]

I KNEW that drywall part was a bit odd. The part where Tyler struggled to remove the anchor was... INTENSE.🪛

[@princess121268]

Pinochle watching her eat popcorn too cute.

[@Ksocito]

That is too funny that was my comment about the drywall with no sound. love you guys

[@karincope3019]

Love the view from your window, beautiful,peaceful and fun .

[@amandabechtel1323]

Perfect timing!!! I was worried you guys was skipping a day. Best bedtime vlog ever. 😁

[@melissaf.568]

I had to go back and watch that part about the drywall 😂. Somehow I didn’t even notice that!

[@socialbianca]

I thought Tyler was trying out asmr or silent dry wall ......meditation ? 🤷‍♀️

[@DK-sl8jb]

Actually crying when you said music was supposed to go over the drywall montage 😂😂😂

[@whatstaceyreads]

I liked the silence while watching you drywall! I did think my phone screwed up but I didn’t hate it!

[@kaylyncooper9395]

i thought something was wrong with my phone during the drywall part too😂
