What I Got For CHRISTMAS! | Favorite Things

[@GrannyV29]

How humble your kids are is very evident. When Melinda gave candy canes they hugged her and thanked her with as much sincerity as any other gift. Her intent was to show love and that love was given back by each kid.

[@kerrylynnparsons7879]

I loved that too!!! ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🤗🤗🤗

[@paulineleek8706]

When are you going to build James little home at yours.

[@pamamend5221]

This was my favorite, also.

[@Powell978]

@@paulineleek8706 they mentioned in a recent vlog that they had a contractor come out and its going to take about a year to do. They werent sure if Jamie would move in with Melinda or with them once her contract runs out.

[@biblewomen77]

All the kids were super blessed. Out of all the kids my heart goes the most to Melinda. I'm sure there is a lot of insecurities, struggles..maybe even financial need and she won't say it. She is a single mom..how touching that she would say ..what she did.... God bless Melinda and the whole family. Bella should really think about being a vet or vet tech. She could just to dip her toe volunteer at humane societies, vets, zoos, etc. **

[@bobeighteen]

Chelsee, her aunt is a vet tech. Might be able to help her get some work experience if she’s interested 😊

[@barbarac840]

Melinda and Hallie seem to understand the holiday best as far as their favorite gifts received were from the heart, not the expensive sneakers or high tech gifts. All the kids are very fortunate to have every pricey gift imaginable given at every holiday….it does make them happy though so all good - happy for them!

[@Breaking_Bad_is_good]

I thought the same. They get a lot of expensive presents. My children are grown. But 1 present was from santa so they didn't go telling their less fortunate friends that santa bought them lots of expensive presents. Mine get 1 big present and then little ones

[@learning2live_brokeninchro157]

You know your an adult when your favorite gifts are the practical house ones...the carpet cleaner that Alex got, and the food chopper that Haley got.😊

[@BMarie774]

No, really lol. I got so many practical things that I NEEDED.

[@Mysticsoul77]

🤣aurora calling her mom and dad out. She is talking so well. The kids are truly blessed by the family they have.

[@ednanelson1897]

I received a personalized blanket for Christmas and I love it. I can understand how Halie loved hers so much. Melinda touched me with her favorite gift. Ariana wanting to go to a concert with her mom was an unexpected surprise.

[@purdyhen7903]

That’s the part about being a parent. You get to see your kids light up from within with true gratitude of what they’ve been given! ♥️

[@abbyray5947]

Auroras speech is getting so much better.I love Melinda so much she’s so amazing & beautiful!🫶🥰I love how each kid were so grateful.I love you Crazypieces!🥺

[@Cassandra-..-]

Bella - go to UC Davis! There are cows to pet near one housing area, goats you can visit, sheep that mow the weeds, and multiple horse facilities! Plus a vet school! And you can take electives like Tractor Driving and Chemistry of Coffee… so many fun things to do beside academic studies! Perfect for an animal lover.

[@shaunfaber5329]

Love everything that the kid’s favorites were. Crystal I told my husband when we got married I didn’t want presents at Christmas cause I wanted to spend the money on something we needed for the house or we both wanted. Spending time together is the most important thing then all the presents like Melinda said.

[@tehreemfarooq8329]

It's always get emotional when Malinda and Crystal talk❤️ You guys are so sweet❤️

[@mollyo8655]

Aurora’s speech is getting amazing! Loved seeing all of the kids favorite gifts! :) Happy New Year, CRAZY PIECES!!!!🎉🥳❤️

[@O42pola]

First time watching this, now I got to watch from the beginning. I have one son, he is 13 and been wanting to adopt for a long time. I am 42 and watching this gives me hope that I still can. Love love what you two are doing for these kids.

[@MissesSniffles]

You definitely still can! My parents adopted me when they were in their mid 40s :)

[@sarahhenrikson8127]

We adopted 2 kids in our 40s. They are such a blessing

[@mj374]

One year I put to donate what my foster parents would spend on my gift to kids in need and they told me to stop acting better than everyone else. So super cool that you guys support their decisions.

[@jasonlim7878]

Melinda has a kind and thoughtful heart

[@kaitlynannette4896]

I love listening to Aurora speak. Her speech has improved so much!

[@silverlining9120]

I love her sassiness. I think it is because of having so many older sisters and teenagers. She is so smart too. 🥰

[@christinespry7150]

All the adults in my family decided that we werent doing gifts to each other ,instead we pooled all of the money and that went to 4 different charities ,2 childens ,1 Homelss and 1 Animal because their needs are far greater than ours ,Wishing you Love Peace and Happiness for 2023 💖🙏🏻✌🎉🎊

[@dianemackey]

That is exactly how adults should do Christmas!

[@MelissaCardenas]

What a wonderful idea!

[@deannaeakle8680]

I just love the love you share with your kids, family, friends and each other! I hope that 2023 is your best year ever!

[@keanekukua3900]

Happy New Years to the Pettit ohana. The kids going to have the same heart as you guys teaching them how to love and show love.

[@twoacresintexas]

You need to find that guy who inspired you to be a foster parent and have him on the podcast if it worked out. That would be amazing!

[@TinasheMachimbidza]

Always watching from the United Kingdom can't wait to see what they got for Christmas love Melinda's sentimentality. Aaron singing hilarious 😂

[@AZPA-dh6fb]

they did a christmas special video

[@sabii_sabee]

Brody behind Alex and Savannah i cant so cute🤣🤣🧡🧡🧡

[@RWorley3sl]

My mom loves giving gifts: her favorite part is giving whats is wanted. So thoughtful.

[@nicolesmith7552]

i love how humble your kids are and the fact they are so sweet with each other

[@Zimhart22]

Arianna you were brave posting the whole picture of those tickets on Instagram story. That's awesome you got those

[@MelissaNY-Reviews]

Brody you’re the bomb!!! I remember when you used make up to create a bruise then joke on Alex that you got into fight and now acting in the background. Halie you are sentimental and a have a beautiful soul. happy New Year Crazy Pieces.

[@BMarie774]

Brody’s humor is on point lol. He doesn’t overuse a joke, instead he makes it even funnier by not letting it go too long. Like at 11:58 how he didn’t just stand there until he got attention like most kids, he knew it’d be funnier if he just backed away lol. Kid’s hilarious! Almost every video he does something GENUINELY humorous.

[@tiggerhaines4307]

It’s awesome to see what their favourite thing they got for Christmas. Hugs to you all. 💕💕

[@dixielovessunshine]

Aaron and Crystal … thank you thank you for this very heart warming video, how wonderful to see such happy faces and Beautiful smiles from your kids, you are wonderful caring parents, what great examples of Loving Kind parents you both are. You make me smile every time I watch your videos… Love to you and your sweet family…🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️

[@BMarie774]

My sweetest gift, was from my step grandpa. He gave me a doll named Brooke, that belonged to his late wife. She’s this beautiful doll that wears a business suit not a dress, which is so me. He gave it to me because of my entrepreneurial attitude and how I don’t like dresses and how it just fit me. To own something belonging to his beloved late wife is so special.

[@missyfortin5814]

I just love watching this every year,watching all the kid's showing their favorite gift's & I love seeing just how grateful each & every children 🥰 All the kid's gifts were so sweet and amazing.

[@23995ify]

Brody in the background these last few vlogs has made me laugh. We need a Brody tee shirt. His Spider Man pose was everything.

[@valerieherrera8516]

Brody is the silliest funniest goofy lil boy ever 🤗🤗💯💯💯

[@moniquebush9317]

Your family is so blessed. My A mom used to treat me like you do them all. She died 2007 and I haven't had a Christmas gift since then

[@suzanne8264]

I’m so sorry.

[@suzanne8264]

Jesus loves you!

[@divahc1]

When my mum passes, I won't either. My plan is to buy myself little gifts all year, and wrap as I go. With my memory-they'll be a total surprise by Dec lol! I'll also find somewhere I can go on C'mas Day and gift some people small gifts and sing Christmas carols.

[@elizabethaymar9240]

It’s so great to see such a humble family I am so grateful for you all ❤❤❤

[@teraphIl1000]

I love how much Halie loves her blanket!

[@marlenelehano4996]

I just need to say that I so agree with Melinda. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas but for me it isn’t about the gifts. It’s more about having my parents ( of which my mom passed at 38 in ‘89 n my dad of whom passed last February ) my siblings, my daughter, son-in-law, my grandkids n all of whom has made an impact in my life. Never have I ever wanted materialistic things because to me, if u don’t have respect,love, kindness n humbleness within urself, then wat is there? Well Crazy Pieces I hope all of u had a very beautiful Christmas n may the New Year brings u all many more blessings. Love n Aloha from one of ur biggest fans in Hawaii 🌈💜

[@elizabethcuddy8913]

I like being a family around the holidays too

[@Cassiesibbitt]

I never get much for Christmas, and honestly for me it’s the fact someone spent time and effort and money into getting me a gift. It warms my heart and I always cry on Christmas.

[@hayleyt9749]

You could try putting stickers made for windows/glass on Haley's door. My Gran's greyhound used to run into the patio door all the time so she got some butterfly stickers and put them at his eye level so he could recognise when it was closed😊

[@1956carolanne]

😅

[@divahc1]

We do the same for our dogs.esp. in wet weather. We don't want their muddy prints all thro' the house so would shut the indoor sliding door. We have butterfly stickers on the door.

[@beckyklepper315]

Happy New Year, you guys! I pray this year will bring healing to whoever needs it in your family. I asked for Christmas ornaments this year. That's definitely my favorite gift 🎁

[@shannonguevara5896]

Melinda's maturity shows. The other kids were all about what they got which is totally fine and good, but the maturity level between them and Melinda shows. That's what it's all about. ❤

[@jenniferjusten7253]

Sounds very nice on how you explain gift etiquette. My question would be , what are you thinking when you allow your child to run thru Walmart for how many ever minutes their age is , and stuff a shopping cart with hundreds of dollars worth of toys. What is the meaning behind this? I do not understand this way of shopping and giving. I'm not judging , I'm just trying to understand it. I love your channel. I think you're by far the. Eat family in KZbin..and I pray for you all the time......especially Ariana. Happy New Year's 2023**!!

[@cheyennehalliger5438]

Well it’s a game they do on their birthdays I think they don’t need to run around to many things can get knocked down.

[@ashleylarocque4500]

I'm glad you all had a great Christmas. Rosalie loved her presents. I normally get her 5, because shes gets tons of gifts from various family members. She's the youngest in the entire family,and the only kid under 16, so she gets very spoiled on her birthday and on Christmas l, but this year I got her 11, I kept seeing things she would love. She absolutely loved the purse set I got her, which I knew she would be she's 6 and super girly and lives everything pink. It came with accessories like a toy credit card and toy cell phone. Of course, she has a real cell phone. She's had it since she was 3. It's all cracked now, but it still works. My sister Maggie got a new iPhone for Christmas, she's 16. I went through Rosalies room on Christmas day and forgot how much toys and books and clothes this kid has. An entire room stacked with her stuff, not kidding. It's a small room, mind you, and lots of it is stuff that used to be Maggie's when she was a little kid.

[@sharonlundquist8433]

Yeah, I didn't get anything for Christmas either. I love your videos, and your family. Happy New Year!

[@suemoore1965]

Would love to see a video with all the kids getting hair cuts. I think Crystal would look great with Khloe Kardashian's shoulder length hairstyle she had for the longest time. I want to be a part of your family but I am older than you. The way you make each kid feel individual and special should be taught to all foster families. Maybe look into doing a (training) video series on the different aspects of fostering.

I wanted to mention that Hannah’s stomach problems (does she get headaches too?) might be from heavily scented things! I know she likes all things makeup and beauty. Some people aren’t ‘allergic’ to the fragrances, but they can be sensitive to it and it can cause symptoms like she’s having.

I'm so glad that the kids got a great christmas. I know for a fact that Christmas time is for special things. My dad passed away two days before Christmas this year. My mom's all by herself in Maine. I'm out near Chicago. She won't travel to come see me. And we don't have the money to go see her so it's out of the question until maybe summer. I love my mom so much. It's been a rough road. Losing my dad was like losing the glue. We didn't have a christmas. We ate yellow rice for Christmas. And my son is very upset about gift giving so we stopped that.

[@julie51573]

My son has autism high functioning. He gets very mad very easily. Our whole house is falling apart. And it's been so hard on this. My boyfriend just had heart surgery. He's gone back to work. I work at the dollar general. I make about $140 a week. It doesn't cut any of the bells but we're trying real hard. And that's something that I won't let anything get in the way of. We need to make this work for us. Have happiness like your family has. That would be the ultimate goal. Hope you have a great New Year. Julie from Indiana
