This is what its like to be in a family where there's abundant love, a mother who doesn't run charge cards overboard, and holidays/birthdays, etc, are fun. I never had that. Very little love directed my way. envious, but I live it vicariously now thru the Holleins... now teach the kids the joy of snow ice cream.. big bowls of top snow, milk, sugar, and vanilla blended together, and stirred in.. yum!!
I feel like that's the good part for some of us we might not have gotten that family love but we can give this love to others and watching the Hoellein we learn many lessons about it. Thats why I love watching them Warms my heart no matter what.
I AGREE SO MUCH! I've never had this kind of love either in my home. I hope and wish when I do start a family in the future to teach and raise my kids just like Bonnie and Joel does
I think it was so nice seeing a modest Christmas. Seriously, so many people go overboard and half the room is full of gifts. I applaud you both 😊 they received a great amount without going crazy.
My 3 year old was so excited to see all the new toys & as always asked if we could come play at your house😂 "please mommy can't you just text them?!" It's so sweet how thinks everyone is friends! Glad your holidays have been so nice! Thanks for sharing!
I feel like once you get older you don't get as much presents as when you were a child and you start to realize that even just having someone or something by your side is a gift and someone to love Christmas is more about spending time with family than getting appreciate that you're still on earth🎄🎁
Bonnie, your family warms my heart. I rarely comment on videos and I watch yours as soon as they are uploaded, but I had to this time around. You have the most incredible kids and husband. I love watching each of the kids grow up and grow into their personalities. Thank you for sharing your lives with us, it is truly a joy to watch and witness.
Bonnie I have been watching you and your family for a couple of years now and I just want to wish you all a merry Christmas! I never write comments but I just wanted to say that last year when I was home on mat leave I would watch you every morning while my boys had their morning nap and now that I'm back to work I'll try to make time during my day to watch. I love you and your family. I think you are such an amazing mom and I totally draw inspiration from you nearly every day. The last couple of years have been difficult and you a source of light. Thank you!!!
You honestly have the sweetest family. When I was Olivia's age every year my aunt would send me little wood furniture, little wood dolls, and small dishes and pottery that she made herself. I never got a doll house but I will always save my dolls set for when I have a daughter. Merry Christmas to your family
Love how your kids were so excited to show their dad what they got and how they looked up to him and how much love bonnie gives to her kids! I I wish I had that growing up. Happy holidays:)
You seriously have the perfect family . Your home is filled with so much love and joy ! I envy you in the best way possible . This just makes me so emotional , being a single mom doing it all alone is tough but watching your blogs brings me hope and excitement . Thank you for everything you do . Happy holidays
I love you Bonnie! And your whole family! I smile and I'm filled with so much joy after I watch your videos! I look forward to your Christmas vids every year and I've watched them each about 10 times because they are so cute! Merry christmas
What a vlog!!! Totes stayed up until 1am and finished watching it. So glad I did because it was Amazing!! Merry Christmas!! That snow was unbelievable and so different to our Christmas Day here in Melbourne, Australia......we sweltered through a 38 degree day and we were in the pool alllllllll day. I'll tweet you my fav picture from the day. Big hugs from my family to yours from Melbourne, Australia!! xx
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! I've never seen such a loving, devoted and happy family in my life. The kids thanking their Mom & Dad and each other is priceless. I LOVE the JOY in this house!
I love watching the joy on your faces as parents watching your kids enjoy Christmas morning. I can't wait for this. I love how Olivia is so excited for you to have an American Girl doll too :)
Love you all!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! My son is 4 and has Down Syndrome, every time I see the love, compassion and understanding you all have for Aunt Linda it makes my heart happy!!!
Happy Christmas! I loved seeing all of the kids faces light up :D They are just the cutest. When Lincoln said he loved you, oh my goodness!!!! My heart melted
I heard Mr.Lincoln say he Loved you Bonnie, I think I gasped as you did when I heard him say that. So sweet, your children were so sweet about their Christmas gifts.
What a beautiful, thoughtful, gift with that necklace. Such a special family. Merry Christmas!! "I love you until it hurts" --- what a perfect way to describe a parent's love for their child.
When I was little we use to do Christmas very similar in that one person opened a gift at a time. However one adult, usually dad or grandpa, played Santa and would handout one gift at a time. Looking back I have no idea how they contained us as kids. So cute watching your babes enjoy Christmas like this :) I love seeing how other families celebrate, and how you and Joel have blended your family traditions and created new ones.
Lincoln is going to love that vacuum. My son who was born in the same year as Lincoln (in May) is obsessed with his sisters vacuum. My little guy uses it more than her now and whenever I vacuum he grabs it and vacuums along. It's the cutest thing.
When you guys opened your american girl outfits and she grabbed you and hugged you, it brought tears to my eyes. You have the most precious children, love your vlogs!
Olivia is such a sweetheart, just patiently waiting and not caring when Boston took her turn. She is growing up into a wonderful person. Well done bonnie and Joel!!! You're fabulous parents x
Merry Christmas Bonnie and family, watching kids open their presents is the best present for a parent imo, I was so caught up in watching my kids open theirs yesterday morning that I forgot about my own and seeing your lovely babies open theirs was joyous too x
Hello from the republic of Georgia and Merry Christmas to your beautiful family! I've been watching you guys but never commented before.How sweet ,smart ,beautiful and well-cared are your kids and you are an amazing,young parents.
Watching Lincoln pushing that Hoover was very adorable and when he said I love you oh my heart just melted, is Boston a May baby as me and my twin were born in May he has some of the same qualities as I do 😉. You have a wonderful familia. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all, from a new subscriber from the uk, Caroline and Joshua
Hi Bonnie & Joel, Just wanted to say Merry Christmas 🎄from Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺. I loved your Christmas video. Your family is so full of love & your gift giving so realistic & not ridiculously extravagant. Your children appreciated every gift you gave them which was so lovely to see. Love you guys to pieces 💜 Majella
Aaggh! Love this vlog so much! I don't have any kids and my family is in another country so watching the Griffiths clan and their families has been so fun this year. Not to mention the beautiful snow that I miss! Merry Christmas!
A beautiful and very joyous Christmas Day vlog. Thanks so much for filming all the fun moments of the children unwrapping their gifts. Bonnie and Joel - your children are so so fortunate to have you two as their parents. Wishing you many more joys in the New Year !!!

I know I'm almost a year to late but I absolutely adore your family and I don't usually get excited for the holidays but watching your family on Christmas morning just really got me excited. Oh and I made it till the end lol
Beautiful open to the vlog, with the music and pics of the décor. The shot of the outside tree with the lights and snow falling so pretty. (Screensaver) Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful family you guys have. Bonnie, when you opened the bear made of Olivia's clothes in the last vlog I completely understood why it took you a few minutes to warm up to it, but just think how beautiful it will be to maybe one day see Olivia's child cuddling that bear. God Bless you guys!
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! Love watching the craziness in the morning. We just celebrated our little one's first Christmas, it was so peaceful lol Can't wait for future Christmases!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a wonderful christmas you guys had. I loved watching the kids being so excited over their santa gifts and ripping open their presents and your face Bonnie when you opened your gift so special loved the whole video 💟💙💙💙
LOL! Yah I made it to the end and could have watched more. The boys opening their presents. I laughed and had a smile on my face the whole time. Merry Christmas to all of you!
