You should look for the video where the kids got to try different types of “sugar cereal”. Bailey and Jacob were so little. I’m not sure they had ever had any of the more popular cereals like Cinnamon Toast Crunch and fruit loops. They gave mini reviews and they were brutally honest. It was the cutest. It competes with Jacob snd Miranda making protein bites.
I agree with this comment! It helps my anxiety and really makes you feel the family togetherness and excitement for the little things in life. Always good still out there in the world but just gotta find it.
@@DrTaylorSwift he has a micro deletion of a chromosome, that effects his muscles mostly on one side and he the fine motor skills. So he knows as many words as a kid his age usually does, but cannot form them.
I believe Parker’s advent piece was a Marshmallow. In the U.K. we have something called a FLUMP which is different coloured marshmallows twisted together in that exact shape. This would fit with the sweet treat theme and yesterday’s waffle. I could be wrong. Obviously not an edible marshmallow I’m just referring to its shape.
Bailey and Jacob are such good big siblings. And Parker and Duncan really try to encourage Luke and include him in play. And Luke was so good with Teddy during therapy.
Idk if Parker knows what he got in his advent calendar but it’s kind of like a marshmallow but not the standard American ones. In the Netherlands those are called spekjes.
chris and jessica, i watch your family everyday. i think i watch because it feels like being a part of a family, that i never got to have. i grew up in a family of generational abuse in many forms and it’s the best part of my day to watch you and your kids. you are both such supporting and loving parents that i have set my main goal in life to have a family like yours. i even hope to adopt some of the traditions you do with your kids in the future. i know that each and every one of your kids is happy and love the both of you more than anything, they appreciate you. thank you for including me in your family everyday! love you kiddies - em
The little charms in Parker’s advent are charms to mix in the slime for decoration and change of texture, or whatever he wants to do with them really 💕
Wow! I am a single parent with four kids, there was never a dull moment, was always go go go and I’ll when finally in bed so exhausted. Now they’re all grown ups but watching these videos bring so many memories. Glad you have each other on this beautiful parenting journey.
Loved the SAP (“super absorbent polymer”!) powder experiment. I was an engineer for a manufacturer of fiber optic cable and we coated the inside of the cable with SAP powder to prevent water damage if there was a leak! Parker was also 100% right, SAP powder is in baby diapers!
Can we just give Christopher and Jessica props for all their hard work as parents? Major kudos for even getting through the day with all of the demands. You both do it with aplomb 🥰👏👏
You guys are absolutely amazing! Jessica and Christopher have done an awesome job raising these beautiful, intelligent, selfless, loving children. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
It’s just me & my mum this Christmas season. My dad passed away & my fiancé & I are separated. This blog truly put warmth & joy & hope into life heart. Thank you so so much Jassy
I LOVE seeing Luke's speech therapy session! I especially love seeing how they included Teddy in that! My little brother was born 3 months early and has a sorts of sensory issues and was delayed in some of his motor functions. He did PT, OT, and speech therapy. Both me and my brothers were homeschooled our entire lives so we were always home when the therapists came. We always loved his sessions because they would include us as well. My brother never fought it like he did other doctors appointments because it seemed more like playtime. He didn't feel singled out and like he was the only one needing to work on these different activities/functions because we were all doing. We were all learning it together. I am actually now disabled and my brother is healthier than me. I go to PT and OT off and on and I must say, after all my experience with different therapists, they are an absolute blessing! (At least the good ones are!)
Luke is so smart!! His little dino lego, he knew to point at the light switch etc. He knows exactly what's going on! And don't even get me started on his speech it's so good!!
It’s just me & my mum this Christmas season. My dad passed away & my fiancé & I are separated. This vlog truly put joy & hope & warmth into my heart. Thank you so so much Jassy
I love this family so much; Luke is getting much better in talking. Love Starbucks!! I hope you'll have a very blessed Christmas holiday coming up soon, hugs.
Jessica can sing! I remember there was another video where she sang something but she never talks about how she can really sing! You're whole family is so talented and just precious!
The best mint hot chocolate "recipe" ever is making normal hot cocoa then mixing in two Andes mints in it! It is so good and adds more mint flavor than a candy cane does!
I think Jessica's tea may have had a hint of boogies😂oh the joys of having kids. Never thought I wouldn't mind having another humans bodily fluids on me bc you just love then SO much. Parenthood is a wild ride. Also..the tag teaming of a diaper change while nursing is impressive!!
Parker NEEDS to be involved in some sort of dance performance activities! He has dancer moves in his DNA, for real. Did you see him come downstairs at 22:24 ? I'm calling it right now. Seriously, folks, mark my words. Parker Ballinger's name will be up in lights someday.
I just want to comment as someone who never took cursive seriously in English class, it seems silly to lots of people but it gives you so much POWER to have neat and readable cursive! People in other countries are taught English writing with cursive instead of printing so writing it well makes it much easier to read. It’s the little things that make you so happy 🥰
The lesson I learned is that when you have all the kids you need a schedule to keep everything and everyone on task! (Also, lists are a love language of mine so I am here for it!!)
Not only are they posting everyday with 6 kids, but they are always good lengthy videos with amazing editing. I don’t know how y’all do it but I’m so impressed!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. So many fun and enjoyable moments. However, I have to admit it was Luke who stole the show today. What a little performer. I had a smile on my face every time he was on camera. He is the most adorable, happiest little boy who spreads his joy with us all! Love to all! 🥰💖🎄👍
Parker is just so adorable (as are all the ballinger kids, let’s be real) the way he described the houses that he liked the best just had me rolling 🤣 the level of fabulous is greater than “space million”
Love seeing xmas lights. Started going around last year to different neighborhoods to see them. My fav house in this vlog was the multi snowmen. Chris, Jessica I'm soo glad you get your children in the kitchen cooking up delish dinners from what I've heard from all your kids!!
the reaction from the kids when you told them you were getting hot chocolate was so funny. You would think you told them they were going to Disneyworld or something! 😂❤️
The reaction to Chris announcing everyone needs hot chocolate is like Oprah giving away cars during a show. 😂🤣 Loveee the enthusiasm

I’m not sure they had ever had any of the more popular cereals like Cinnamon Toast Crunch and fruit loops. They gave mini reviews and they were brutally honest. It was the cutest. It competes with Jacob snd Miranda making protein bites.
literally they’re so grateful for the smallest things it’s so nice
yeah because they are deprived of sugar
@@chloedamone3014 i wouldn’t say deprived😂they’re just limited like most kids are, it’s so bad for you
YOU GET A HOT CHOCOLATE..AND YOU GET A HOT CHOCOLATE AAANNDDD YOU GGEETT A HOT CHOCOLATE!!! LOL
These calm my anxiety so much. Just relaxed, wholesome content. No drama. And it also reminds me of the good, kind people in the world 🥺❤️
Agreed
Biggest drama they discuss is how crappy the magic trick advent calendar is
Yes! See what a healthy family dynamic is like. Unimaginable
I agree with this comment! It helps my anxiety and really makes you feel the family togetherness and excitement for the little things in life. Always good still out there in the world but just gotta find it.
I absolutely agree ❤️
Jessica is an absolute BOSS with that scheduling
And that singing she did to welcome Parker back to the vlog!!!
So proud of Luke with how he’s doing on his speech. He is so lucky to have caring and supportive parents❤️
@@DrTaylorSwift he has a micro deletion of a chromosome, that effects his muscles mostly on one side and he the fine motor skills. So he knows as many words as a kid his age usually does, but cannot form them.
The kids having cooking classes is probably a huge help! They get to take a fun class and a few dinners a week get covered!

This would fit with the sweet treat theme and yesterday’s waffle. I could be wrong. Obviously not an edible marshmallow I’m just referring to its shape.
We have them in America too, they're just not everywhere, so it would be easy to not know what it was
Yes this is correct
Jessica singing Hello Parker sounding like an ANGEL
What a good voice she has
Bailey and Jacob are such good big siblings. And Parker and Duncan really try to encourage Luke and include him in play. And Luke was so good with Teddy during therapy.
Luke looks a lot like Flynn when he was “helping” cook by eating tomatoes!
adore how the kids are so kind and sweet to each other.
Luke has my entire heart. He’s just the cutest, more pure, sense of joy 🥰🥰
Bailey is such a sweet sister. She is absolutely incredible.
Idk if Parker knows what he got in his advent calendar but it’s kind of like a marshmallow but not the standard American ones. In the Netherlands those are called spekjes.
Upvoting so he hopefully sees :)
They are called flumps in the uk !
We've got them in Spain too! We call them "nubes", which means clouds.
We do have some similar to those in the US, but they aren't as common. I've mostly seen them around Easter time.
También los tenemos en Chile 😁
chris and jessica, i watch your family everyday. i think i watch because it feels like being a part of a family, that i never got to have. i grew up in a family of generational abuse in many forms and it’s the best part of my day to watch you and your kids. you are both such supporting and loving parents that i have set my main goal in life to have a family like yours. i even hope to adopt some of the traditions you do with your kids in the future. i know that each and every one of your kids is happy and love the both of you more than anything, they appreciate you. thank you for including me in your family everyday! love you kiddies - em
“Tea… it boosts your kindness.” 🙏🏻💜💜💜🙏🏻
My favorite parts of Vlogmas have turned into Luke smelling the tea and Christopher opening his advent 😂 🪄 ☕️
same! thats all i come for
I also love any video that ends with him reviewing "what we learned today". :-)
@@aekelly they make such quality content don't they?
Christopher is the only known dad in history to actually want the car ceiling lights on
😂😂😂😂😂
So true
Omg Jessica singing! I think we all forgot that she was also in musical theater with Colleen and Chris. Beautiful singing!!!!
“You can do this!” “I can.” “I believe in you!” “I believe in myself as well.” 🥰
A big thumbs up for Chris' magic tricks. Always loved magic Mondays
Thumbs up thats a good one or thumb up. wink~wink. Its magic!!
@@andshewas296 😉😂
@@andshewas296 and the best thing about magic...subtleness
@@sarah2178 Some see it and some dont.
its so nice to see how confident luke is getting as his speech develops! hes doing so well x
Luke smelling that tea bag is such a vibe, and I'm here for it!
The amount of things you listed off to do before 9am is more than I do in a 24 hours period tbh
what a lovely singing voice Jessica has it was heavenly and she is an amazing mum as well
The little charms in Parker’s advent are charms to mix in the slime for decoration and change of texture, or whatever he wants to do with them really 💕
Can I just take a minute to publicly appreciate the nearly 30min vlogs every day even though your schedules are so full. LOVE YOU ALL 🥰
Wow! I am a single parent with four kids, there was never a dull moment, was always go go go and I’ll when finally in bed so exhausted.
Now they’re all grown ups but watching these videos bring so many memories. Glad you have each other on this beautiful parenting journey.
The kids group hugging will forever and always be the best part of any video 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I'm really enjoying the magic tricks, the what we learned today, and seeing the fam gear up for the holiday
Love Duncan's science experiments, his energy is infectious!

Love Jessica singing Hello Dolly when Parker running down the stairs , beautiful voice!!!
I didn’t have a great childhood. I wish I had parents as loving as you are with your children. Love from Italy ❤️❤️

Luke is too cute smelling mommy’s tea. ❤️
I love how the kiddos get so excited over something as simple as hot chocolate.
love how the family is always cuddled together : )
I love this family so much; Luke is getting much better in talking. Love Starbucks!! I hope you'll have a very blessed Christmas holiday coming up soon, hugs.
Christopher : “way behind schedule”
Also Christopher: *spends 5 mins saying schedule*
these vlogs just make me feel safe and relaxed before going to bed! thank you for the vlogmas ily❤️

I found it so funny with how the kids replied to getting hot chocolate💀
I love all the light's so pretty :) I love that you let you're kids cook good lesson's when they get older
35 seconds early , can I say I love them haha , Bailey reminds me so much of me , bailey please never grow out of the amazing person you are
love how they appreciate the small things. i was brought up the same.
JESSICA literally has the cutest laugh I have ever heard ❤️

As Duncan is growing older im seeing more of Parker’s personality in him, it’s v adorable
the middlest two children, so cute to see them being besties together 🥰
Oh, you went and saw decorates 😂😂😂
Lol you watch Colleens vlogs
@@coolmushroom5441 every time they said Christmas lights I had to say decorates to correct it 😂
Was thinking the same thing!
Jessica's Hello Dolly parody with Hello Parker was the best thing I've heard in a long time. I love musicals and Barbra Streisand!
I will always look up to the way you guys raise your kids they are amazing!
A tea that smells like “the cookie party”?!???
Yes please!
The lesson I learned is that when you have all the kids you need a schedule to keep everything and everyone on task! (Also, lists are a love language of mine so I am here for it!!)
chris’s magic tricks continue to amaze me every day.
Those things coming in Parker’s advent calendar definitely look like erasers!
Im super impressed at Jessica's scheduling skills- your days are indeed packed.
I'd love that soundbite of Duncan yelling, "Science!!" added to the end of the vlogmas song tomorrow. Lol!
Haha its vlogmas vlogmas and its time to celebrate.... science! 👌🏼
Jacob that drawing is fantastic.
spider man’s churro is from spider man homecoming. he helped a lady cross the street. she was really nice and bought him a churro.
JESSICA'S SINGING TO PARKERS ENTRANCE BACK INTO THE VLOG SOUNDED AMAZING AAAA💜🎄
Wow, those Christmas lights were amazing.
Not only are they posting everyday with 6 kids, but they are always good lengthy videos with amazing editing. I don’t know how y’all do it but I’m so impressed!
Its Jessica's amazing scheduling I'm sure :)
They blow me away. I have one child who homeschools, and still cant stick to a schedule! Lol
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. So many fun and enjoyable moments. However, I have to admit it was Luke who stole the show today. What a little performer. I had a smile on my face every time he was on camera. He is the most adorable, happiest little boy who spreads his joy with us all! Love to all! 🥰💖🎄👍
It’s so cool to watch Luke’s speech skills develop! I can imagine that it might be frustrating for him but he just seems like a happy kid.
Parker is just so adorable (as are all the ballinger kids, let’s be real) the way he described the houses that he liked the best just had me rolling 🤣 the level of fabulous is greater than “space million”
Parkers advent looked like a flump marshmallow we get in the UK 🥰
Luke smelling the tea is my new favorite thing 😋 😍
Your channel is one of my favorites. Thank you for bringing so much joy, my day gets much better when you post!
All the youtubers vlogmas videos are like Christmas presents for me but the Ballinger’s are like my main present :)
These kids work hard AND play hard, love the balance you're teaching them
I love driving around and seeing Christmas lights. Those houses are gorgeous!
Aaaand my mind is blown from the snowman magic trick! Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!
Your family is amazing and teaches me to be the best I can be 🥰
You guys are so kind and so calm and so positive. Happy Holidays!
Love seeing xmas lights. Started going around last year to different neighborhoods to see them. My fav house in this vlog was the multi snowmen. Chris, Jessica I'm soo glad you get your children in the kitchen cooking up delish dinners from what I've heard from all your kids!!
Duncan screaming SCIENCE!!! is my favorite all the time
I feel like your Christmas displays can be so much more extravagant because stuff on the ground doesn’t get covered by snow lol
Seeing the Christmas lights montage brings back so many memories from my childhood!
the reaction from the kids when you told them you were getting hot chocolate was so funny. You would think you told them they were going to Disneyworld or something! 😂❤️
The way that Luke smells the tea bag is the cutest thing ever!
I LIVE for Luke’s little sniffs lol
Luke eating his seaweed is just sooo cute!!! 😍😭
My goodness!!! Luke was revved up and ready to go this evening!
luke says "oh my gosh!!" 😆😆 at 18:12
I've been sick today and watched old vlogmas videos, they made me really happy!!
Hope u get better soon
@@Softcamilys thank you💜
I mean today I don’t feel well so I could have covid but idk
@@Softcamilys Oh no! I hope you are doing okay!
I feel like Luc is doing so well. His will to be like his brothers is strong.
Your schedule is packed! It makes my planning brain happy to hear it though 😅
I love how they let Luke smell things all the time! He’s so cute!
Changing diapers while nursing in a van. Parenting level: pro.
It is a churro! That's one of my favorite parts of Spider-Man Homecoming. Jacob, Bailey, and Parker would probably love that movie!
“It feels like that stuff in diapers” 😂 very very true. It kinda looks like it too.
