Murray christmas. Oh merry christmas, or is it merry christmas? It's meron christmas
Such a sweet little sweet girl
Let's go see grandma grips. Okay, so grandma gramps are downstairs. They brought some christmas pajamas for the girls
Um that she wanted to give them for tonight so they could wear them
For christmas eve. So we're gonna go downstairs and they're gonna open them and then i've been up here. Look we got boxes
Everywhere, we're gonna try to get the girls in bed
early tonight because we have a lot to wrap like
There's a lot of stuff and you don't even have any presents
Oh, no, she's like I am a present
um
Yeah, and I haven't done anything. So
We're gonna have a busy night, but it's gonna be fun. We're gonna put the kids in bed first
We're gonna maybe have hot chocolate with them and cookies and then we're gonna put them in bed
And we're gonna wrap gifts and watch christmas movies and enjoy some time, right john. Yep
What are you doing
Tyler woke up at like five this morning because she's so excited for christmas and it's only christmas eve
So I don't even want to know if she's gonna wake up when she's gonna wake up tomorrow
Somebody's excited about christmas
Walk into all right. Okay. We got it. All right, you ready?
I got I thought I got an 18 18. I thought they had
Oh, no, she's waiting for it
I bet you can cut it and make it work, right?
So santa tonight is gonna have some rice crispy treats. All right, baby's at the
Sam ready to eat
You gotta get down buddy
I wanted to bake cookies today, but honestly every time we turned around tyler and elena were gone
Missing not missing really but like at a friend's house across the street next door wherever they've just been playing all day
Which is fine. It's a little more peaceful when they're out playing just every time i'm like, okay get them to come home
Let's have family time. Maybe we'll do the cookies whatever and john's parents came by and then
I don't know what happened
But it's okay. They're those are delicious
Santa's gonna have a rice krispie treat and we're gonna have rice krispie treats. These are obviously my favorite. These are gluten free
These sprinkles are dye free
not sponsored
um
Super natural is the brand
soy free no artificial colors, no palm oil
Super awesome. They're also gluten free and then rice and then the marshmallows because we're vegetarians and because we don't eat food guys
um
These are awesome, so they're vegan they don't have any gelatin in them. They don't have any dye
They are called dandies
And they taste exactly like regular marshmallows and they have the same texture and everything. You ready?
We got pizza in the oven now. I gotta cool these. Okay
Okay, this kid has found her way
climbing onto tables
And that's annoying, but we still love ya
Yippee
Okay, be nice. So we used to just put the chairs on the table. It might be what we're doing here soon enough
All right, who's gonna taste test these rice krispies for santi
What do you think tyler
Okay, so we
Usually buy the girls christmas pajamas and give them to them on christmas eve with an ornament
That they put on the tree ornaments are in our closet buried
Amongst a bunch of other stuff so drop the ball there
We didn't get them christmas jammies this year because we're kind of over the amount of clothes we have
We actually got rid of a bunch of stuff or rid of a bunch of christmas pajamas
Um, but graham bought them some so they do have some to wear christmas eve christmas day
That's fun
This year we did something different. They're really cute. So i'm going to give them to the girls
The kids are in bed and now we have all these
boxes full of stuff to wrap and
Have ready for the morning. It's 8 40 right now
and
What are you thinking daniel?
Yeah
Till one or two
Easily till one or two, but i'm committed I told her this year i'm here
Let's get started
All right, it looks like we're all finished and I say we but daniel did most of the wrapping
But you know the gifts
Well, you're lucky because if I wrapped all the gifts
And I wrapped them the way that I wrapped those three gifts
Our kids wouldn't be believing in santa anymore after this year
I just didn't wrap them very good
I just kind of threw them together. The last thing that I have to do is just put
Like they're all
They're color-coded
But i'm gonna like scramble them a little that way it's easier
Yeah, so y'all saw what I got daniel she's got this big pile of stuff right here for me
and i'm just hoping it's like
random
like
you know
cheap gifts
And my stocking i'm like I feel bad because I didn't do
I mean that much this year. I kind of wanted to just do something nice for you
She didn't do a lot
Without much complaining which is a way to thank you
Years past he's complained about helping but this year he's helped a lot
Well, here it is
We're gonna go to bed we're gonna
Be up early with them. I'm sure it's too. Oh wait 250 right now
It's not
Terrible daniel wrapped them a lot faster than I think she only does which was impressive. All right, we're going to bed
We'll see you in the morning
So so far we're already off to a great start today
Or merry christmas everyone first. How about that?
Merry christmas elena turned to the other kids waking up
tried to
Go downstairs at one point jude was in our bed
Shortly after we came out and then she was the next thing
You know, I hear him downstairs
No problem. No problem. They got into their stockings. It's fine
And then lana came upstairs and she had gum in her hair
So we're looking forward to a really really eventful day today we got the gum out if you don't know you don't have to cut it
Blather coconut oil on it and work it through and comb it out
Yeah, once I took that I took a lice comb to it and it came out like
All the like little pieces that I was like, I don't know if that's coming out came right out
So yeah, so coconut oil lice come and then we wash the coconut oil out with shampoo
You want what you want a book
Merry christmas
Let's get addy up addy guess who came last night
Guess who came?
Why?
Let's be sweet, please. I think it was santa claus
It's not and sometimes our kids wake up grumpy that's just
This kid right here addy hasn't seen anything yet
What do you see
Look at this
Tyler knew that judy wanted that book. It's the only piece of puzzle she didn't have and she got it for him
I also see you guys got her real book
So we just found out that
tyler and lana both
Got you like real books from their book fair at school. Like one book was pig the star
It's a book. She has like a collection of them
And the other one was a little shopkins book
That they got for her at school
So right now the girls are giving gifts that they got nana and gram took them to like a dollar store
And they picked out some gifts for everybody. So
We don't know what they are
Oh, thank you. I got those from the office for you guys from the office
Addy would you guys want gum?
No, what
Judy would you get in your stocking? What'd you get?
Gummies gum gum
All right, alina is super excited about this one
Thank you
I got my own can of silly string. I'm so excited. I'm gonna spray it all over the house
This is from tyler says she got out of our office. All right, she got me a young living chocolate from our office
It's a double mailbox, thank you
Who gave her that lana?
You know how to pick out a good gift
Excited
And you got yourself a present what's in there
Your own very personal own towel
Wow
Remember you like to wrap your hair up like mommy when you told daddy. Can you wrap my hair up like mommy?
That's what this is for
Where'd you go?
Look how cute are you?
Do you like it?
Oh, yes
So far so good. Um, daddy, can you see me?
So
Guys look at this daniel got me 88 great conversation starters for husbands and wives
I'm using this
You said this. I didn't know what to talk about. It is at night
I'm gonna pull one of these out and you better be ready. You'll be ready for a great conversation with me
Are you crying now? Let me see your face. Are you crying? Hold on. I think john's crying. Let me see your face
Are you really not crying? Are you sure? Oh, you're crying
Oh, stop that hurt really bad. I'm not crying
I see that here
Mommy's just even though these are simple things. They're really thoughtful and so you're making me emotional
I feel like you're postpartum
It's the music
It's ornament time I found the best ugly ornaments for john this year. That's just one of them. This is good though
It's got balls in the back. It's you look at it. Ginger. John
It's a reindeer
Let me in this
So far lots of arts and crafts stuff because they love arts and crafts they love doing just coloring pictures
Yours is different. You see what it is. Do you read what the front says? It's hard to read that
I'm super excited about that, especially for her because her love language is gifts
And sometimes she gets very caught up in getting things. It's a gratitude diary
So each day she can document what she's thankful for
So it said if you're having a day where you're feeling kind of blue you can read back through all the things
You're thankful for too. So i'm hoping that will help keep her heart centered on the right things
Especially with that being her love language. There you go. What is that dude?
It's a horse fart
I don't think that's hilarious. I see a horse farting on there. Yeah, that's what it is
There are a bunch of animals in there. All they do is fart and it's a coloring book for it. You remembered I remembered
That's hilarious it's called a yelly and it goes faster I guess as you scream
Oh, do you teeny itty bitty baby bike for the eggo
It is funny pull it out pull it out ready to go, okay now
It's gonna take you a minute. Okay. No, put your feet down. You gotta put your feet down
What do you think dude we're gonna set it up today
It's gonna go in your room so you and addy can play with it together, so I think that's all the kids gifts
I think they are happy with them
Not something you asked for but hopefully something you don't like. Oh, I think i've seen these
It's a mug that stays warm, right? Yeah, I wouldn't have had to reheat. Yes
I told everybody in the last vlog I was like i'm always like reheating her tea
And usually she still doesn't drink because she forgets to I know I just forgot that it was I know
And we forget that they're in the microwave so that like you put down you can adjust the actual like temperature on your phone
Okay, that's pretty fancy. Okay. John's getting his big gift
Here it is. How was it? Do you see the fragile sign on the side?
What
Oh my gosh
What did you do? Did you get this after I said we get into this?
I already got it. I know
It is an espresso machine
But you're gonna have to learn what you can about espresso now and like learn how to make the perfect crema
I'm gonna make the best coffee you've ever seen in your life. Oh nice
Oh does it grind them? Oh snap game changer stop
That's okay, do you see what it is?
And could you expect that I was hoping for it but not expecting well, merry christmas everybody
Um, we just got the girls to bed. It was kind of a uh, rough night getting them to bed
Because they were up so early and I think they were just so overtired
That they didn't I couldn't go to sleep they were just so
exhausted but wanted to play with their new toys and
All the things so they finally went to bed, um just took a little bit of head rubbing
um
While they closed their eyes and laid down with that said we're gonna go to spend me and daniella
Just some quiet time together upstairs
um watch maybe a christmas movie or two and
Eat some snacks. Um, and then just go to bed and try to get some rest before we deal with the
All the crazy again tomorrow. So we love you guys. Merry christmas to you
We hope you guys really did have a great christmas and got to spend time with your family
Um, even if that was just you and your spouse
um you and your kids
Whatever that looks like for you. Um, we hope you enjoyed that for us
We didn't really spend a lot of time with family danielle's parents weren't in town
My parents came for maybe an hour or so
Um and left and so we just kind of were with the kids today
and so that's what it looks like in this season of life for us, but
It's different for everybody and you just got to make the most of what you got
and so we were happy just to be able to have some kind of chill christmas with our kids and hope you guys just
Enjoyed whatever it was that that looked like for you today. So, uh, we love you guys. Merry christmas
