OMG! You got my package! I'm so happy, and so pleased that you like the taffy from Dewar's! They've been making it for over a century, so no surprise that they really know what they're doing, eh? Thanks for making MY day! - Sheldon
@@wendydotson8891 Oh, wow! Thanks for letting me know! I'm so happy to hear that teachers are still doing field trips to Dewars! That's awesome! There's one on Rosedale Hwy. and Calloway Drive, but I still prefer the ORIGINAL one downtown on Eye Street. It's classic!
@@johnygoodman6659 thought the same thing right away 🤣. And alot of people might think that's sinister or odd but in the states it's generally common and accepted but still for a kid yikes. I know it's probably not that though
@@chrisramsey3603 What is the point you're attempting to make? Yes most everyone knows UA-camrs earn money. Most people want their favorite content creators to make as much money as possible. I don't have ad block & I don't skip advertisements, because I hope that has even a minuscule effect of increasing their ad revenue. Also, it's a win when your favorites get deals with quality sponsors. Are you implying they shouldn't make money? Or that people shouldn't send them gifts, because they're not financially stressed? But seriously, I'm simply curious as to what the point of your comment is.
Liberty Kids!!! I love that series. I homeschool my children in the U.S. and used that series to bring the Revolutionary War to life for my kids when they were younger. Such a great series!
As a Kiwi this is the first time I've watched this UA-cam channel. I have been depressed with current America. Your embrace of this family is what America is about! From a 20 year old soldier to a lecturer in his 60s. Not religious, but God bless you, my hope is restored.
Many Americans are also depressed about the state of our country. But in reality, as you see here, what you see on the news is a tiny fraction of the people here. They’re just the loud ones.
Man did I ever need this, just a happy family getting random presents from another part of the world so thankful to receive them not complaining about a single thing, I really needed this thank you for making this video and thank you to everyone who sent something to this family, humanity is not lost.
I was driving through Albuquerque on a cross-country trip on my motorcycle one time while the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta was going on. Balloons EVERYWHERE you could see. What a sight! I highly recommend it for anyone. Shout out to all the fans who have so generously given to Our New Zealand Family!!!
The clock face is the Seal of the City of Atlanta. It shows a phoenix rising from the flames - the city was burned down in the Civil War and is related to the date 1865 shown on the right side. The other date, 1847,is the year the city was initially incorporated. 'Resurgens' goes along with the phoenix, basically meaning Rise Again. Hope that helps!
Hey guys!!!! Yeah our armed forces are amazing at their job and other off the job things like what they did in this video 🇺🇸God Bless our troops and My New Zealand Family 🙏love y’all ❤️!!!
For her age, Atlanta's knowledge of cooking is amazing to me. Pretty much because when I was her age I could only fry bacon. Because I really loved bacon back at that age.
🥰 To my fellow Americans, your wonderful gifts, and thoughtful letters to our N Z Family, leave me with happy, tears. I am so deeply moved with everything that is happening in the world, that there are so many loving, magnificent citizens walking around every day with my values, and your big generous hearts. Thank you fellow Americans, I feel so encouraged and I feel your love-it is here in our country. Love and prayers 🙏❤️, to all of you.
Couldn’t have said it Better!!! I can’t help but feel Proud of all those who are able to enrich Our NZ Family,& are representing their states, & Our Country, with such Amazing Thoughts & Love!!!🥰
Thank YOU, Debbie! I sent that package MONTHS ago, and I was beginning to wonder if it had arrived at all. The COVID situation, and the impact on the mail service in New Zealand, plus the sheer amount of mail and packages they're receiving from their fans, means that we all have to be patient as we await their reactions. But it was ALL worth it. I'm so glad they liked the taffy I sent. :) Best you to, Debbie!
Late, but I’m very displeased with the state of our country, however, I am so proud of how genuinely kind most Americans are. It’s the one thing most of us here do right.
The package from Brother Francisco was amazing! It was so nice of him to share his wisdom with you in the form of short stories. In America there are hundreds of orders of monks and nuns. Some live in cloistered communities like Brother Francisco. However, others live and work in the secular world. A good friend of mine is a semi-retired nun who used to pray with patients at hospitals around the US. Other nuns can be teachers, school administrators, etc.
I can't wait for y'all to come to America. Remember, enjoy the journey and never look for a destination. I really appreciate y'all and your videos. 🙏🇺🇲🙏
Even through our darkest times here in America we will always find the time and the money to help or give the experience to those who do not live in our country
Its very true its in our culture to want to help. Single mom, bank account is overdrawn today and i was still looking for the homeless person in my neighborhood to give him food and clothes.
Wow! How much fun was that? It was like Christmas in New Zealand in August! All of the gifts were so cool and everyone is so generous and thoughtful. It looks like "Our New Zealand Family" loved them. Bravo to all of you!! 🤩
It did feel like this was Christmas in August for them! 😂 I really enjoyed this episode being longer as our New Zealand family is just so amazing, and I’m including all of us subscribers in that. I always appreciate all the ones that send gifts to them as that shows the love everyone has for them, and so thank you for sending your Georgia gift in a previous episode. Also go Dawgs! Gotta beat those Ducks on Saturday!
The most American thing about these mail-time videos is how Americans have to constantly one-up each other to convince this family their sports team, city, military branch, Senator is the best. I love it.
I absolutely love these videos. Love Atlantas kitchen videos too. She's amazing. I love my N.Z. family. You all are amazing and i love the love you share with each other. Keep up the amazing job.
Miss Dewar was our teachers aid in the 70's (3rd grade) and would occasionally bring us treats from the candy shop. They make all different kinds of candy and are to die for. Glad to see they are still around.
It's such an honor to allow us to share in your family's joy. The psychologist (and Monk's) words describes it perfectly. This is 'good for the soul'. Thank you!
That's so wonderful!! When I moved here to the SF Bay Area about 22 years ago, I told my new friends about Dewar's chews, and they just shrugged. Then, on a visit back home, I bought each of them a small bag. Blew their minds! That began a years-long parade of texts and emails, reminding me to "pick up some Dewar's for me the next time you go home to Bakersfield!" LOL!
Just FYI...the "red t-shirt" is a team shirt for the Washington Nationals (affectionately known as "The Nats"). They are the MLB (Major League Baseball) team for the nations capital (Washington, DC).
I love that you are getting some love from America. We have a lot to share. In these tough times, it's great to see awesome, wholesome family content on the interwebs. New Zealand and the US are more than just allies or friends, we're family. I love you guys. I love the way you share your familial bond with the internet. For every bright, glorious video you put out, the darkness gets just a little less scary. I served in the US AF and I love seeing your AF gifts. I'm very proud of my service. I'm super proud of my country. And I'm beyond proud of YOU guys, being good people. Truly.
Thank you to all who who sent packages 😊. I love watching the mail videos! I was so excited about Brother Francisco's package. He is the closest person to me that ever sent a package!! I got so excited to see my area represented! He is about 10 to 15 minutes away from me! I drive past all the time. It is a beautiful place!!❤️
hi from Timaru New Zealand, it's lovely to see your excitement opening your packages it's funny watching the dog getting excited when you open a package lol
Thanks to all of the wonderful the NZedders here that sent them gifts, y’all are truly awesome! Thank you my New Zealand family for all your reactions and just your humble and sweet personalities. Y’all are such a true joy to watch and I tear up most of the time because of how y’all are so genuine and I would want people to have your traits. I have been going through a rough patch recently and seeing your lovely videos has been helping me out a lot. I love y’all so much!
@@CCoburn3 Corbett, thanks for your reply. We are all a big family for sure and the meaning of family as a Southerner takes on a strong feeling like ya said, by the grace of God. Being able to watch these videos and interact with my New Zealand family keeps me upbeat.
Sorry, Jess, about what you're having to go through lately, but keep your chin up & your eyes looking forward to better times! And never let obstacles stop you! So ... Keep On Keepin' On, *Like A Tank!*
OMG I am from Bakersfield, California. I was thrilled to see a box of Dewars Chews that were sent to you. Dewars is a mom & pop company that started before I was born (I'm 69) and is now known worldwide. Whoever sent those to you spent over $100. Peanut butter and caramel are my favorites. You put a smile on my face today. I love watching your family.
I love watching your videos for many reasons, first because they are so entertaining and your family is so awesome. You enjoy and show a lot of respect for the U.S. military and as a veteran of the USAF I am honored. I also love watching Atlanta's Kitchen, what a talented and sweet young chef. God bless you all.
Are these the coolest kids or what?! Would not expect anything less from the coolest parents! What a lovely family. Thank you so much for learning about the USA and teaching us what a loving family is all about. May your god bless you all abuntantly!
Seeing this video made me cry, with tears of joy. As a New Mexican now living in Alabama, I miss my home state. And fun fact New Mexicos state Question is Green or Red or Christmas, Its because we love our Chile red or green. New Mexico is a very unqiue, beautiful state. The Balloon Fiesta is my favorite fiesta to go too when i get the chance. As a Child we would go Every year and all week. Hope one day your family will be able to enjoy the beautiful hot air balloons. Many prayers and love. Thank you for showing what family really is about🤗
As a fellow New Mexican, I love all chile but my favorite way to eat it is Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas. I like red chile on my beef enchiladas but I can go either way. Definitely love Green Chile Stew and for Posole I like both but prefer it made with green chile. Also love Chile Rellenos smothered in white queso made with Hatch green chiles.
@@sernastephenj I miss the smell of roasting chiles and then going home to peel them and package them was always my favorite part. You really do miss stuff when you can no longer do it. I will always love and be proud to be from New Mexico. Its the culture, the people, and everything else that makes it New Mexico🤗
Your New Zealand Family 🇳🇿, y'all will enjoy the Liberty Kids series. Liberty Kids is a series that teaches about the American Revolution and a few years after the revolution in a fun and interesting way. I, an American grew up watching the Liberty Kids and I enjoyed watching it. As far as I know alot of my fellow Americans have watched the Liberty Kids when they were younger.
Really hope this gets to you in time. I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the green chilies you were send are from Hatch, NM and nowhere else. They come in green and red (mature) and can be quite powerful, so taste first. The chilies are turned into a type of salsa and served on almost everything. When served together, such as on enchiladas it is termed as "Christmas" because of the colors. Will be interested to hear your reaction. Thank you for the hours of enjoyment you have blessed this 74 year old woman with.
Greetings from North Carolina. We Homeschool and we are studying Oceania right now. We found your channel and are really enjoying learning about life in New Zealand. I saw that you were gifted Liberty Kids!!! Our kids love those shows! Such a great way to learn about US History.
@@CCoburn3 R2D2 (Star Wars) and Rosie (The Jetsons), and the robot that used to say “Danger Will Robinson” were all my favorites. I think there’s probably more but that’s what has popped into my mind when you mentioned robots. Oh, no, the nicer version of the one in the Ah Nold Schwarzenegger movie to which my brain is in freeze mode. 🤔😡😱
Hey from Atlanta! "Resurgens" means "to rise again". Atlanta's namesake city was burned to the ground in the American Civil War, but recovered and is now a cosmopolitan transportation and financial hub. The bird on the clock is the phoenix, since Atlanta rose from the ashes.
Your family is amazing! The majority of Americans are patriotic (no matter what the media shows) and your show of appreciation & love towards us makes you guys irresistible! I would love to donate to your American trip, if u could tell me how please 🥰
Love to see the map filling up. Your family deserves all the love and joy. You're doing more than you know for families all over. Much appreciation from northern IL. We are already on the map but I would send something local if I could afford it. Much love to you and yours from the great state of Illinois!
LOVED Liberty Kids when I was younger. It was often shown in school for history class. Was my favorite part of the school day. Think I could still recite the theme song 20 years later L O L.
I still find it....on one hand....amazing....and on the other hand...disheartening....that a family from New Zealand shows so much respect and admiration for the flag of the United States of America while many of our own people trample on that beloved cloth and belittle what that banner means and represents. One thing that I have come to expect from your videos.....and something that warms my heart every time....is the love that your family has for each other, Add in your love for learning, your love for adventure...and it is clear to see why so many people from around the world watch your videos and look forward to each and every new upload.
Watching your videos makes my heart happy. In the USA were all so busy all the time there isn't hardly a time we're all in the house except to sleep other than holidays. The excitement you all show is pure joy 😊! Shoutout from VA.
THANKSGIVING MENU IDEA: So in the southern part of America we often eat pecan pie for the holidays. My family always does one pumpkin pie and one pecan pie. Pecan pie is a really tasty pie experience and has always been my favorite of the two. I can’t wait to see what y’all do for the holidays this year!! 💛💜💛
I love the reactions to mail call. I reckon with all the flags your getting you could put them on poles and resemble the UN Building. What a great video.
I'm from New Mexico, and I was hoping to send you some stuff before I saw Michelle did! It broke my heart, but I hope you love our FAMOUS green chile! Thanks for all you do!
I had never heard of that candy company, but your reaction made me want to try it! So many lovely, thoughtful presents to open today! I love seeing what everyone thinks of to send! I hope to see Washington added to the list soon...and eventually would love to send you some things from our beautiful state! Your family brings us so much joy! ❤
@@jasonmistretta4295 I looked it up too and the Dewars scotch company is owned by the brother who created and runs the Dewars candy company , so they are the same family.
the liberty kids got me excited! I used to watch that like 20 years ago as a child, it was always on in the mornings on the weekends and was a wonderful education tool about the development and establishment of the US. a very fun and informative series for everyone, enjoy!
Love from San Diego, California! My nephew has been in the Air Force for 16yrs now. He has @least 2bronze hearts, he doesn't like to talk about his metals 🤫♥️
Either you mean Purple Hearts or Bronze Stars. 1 Medal is for being wounded in battle (Purple Heart) the other medal is for a level of bravery and valor on the battlefield (Bronze Star). Not making fun of you just pointing out that they are 2 different Medals, as a veteran I wish to thank your Nephew for his service, even though he is a darn "Wingnut" I myself am a Marine Corps Veteran.
@@dilberthigh You are a disrepectful person, you have no clue what that is so it is best you keep quiet "Snowflake" . It is because of folks like her Nephew and myself defended or are defending your rights to be like you are, therefore you should be grateful and not disrespectful..
Atlanta, those look like 10" or 11" pie pans. Make sure you use recipes for that size. A lot of recipes are for 8" or 9" where the volume is significantly smaller.
This is the first time I watched your video. You are such a sweet family. I have subscribed to keep up with you. I am on disability and am by myself a lot . My husband works fulltime at our local hospital. We live in a town in Pennsylvania about 10 Minutes from Hershey, PA ( chocolate). Also my town has a Dove chocolate factory. On certain days you can smell the chocolate. Also we are in Lancaster county . Which is home to the Pennsylvania Dutch Amish. I will keep in touch. Hopefully some day I can send you something from where I live. Have a beautiful day!
As a fellow Iowan, I'm proud to see our flag across the seas. I enjoy watching the family try many American things. I didn't know that other nations would be so into us, that's pretty cool. I have friends in Australia, and have always wanted to visit.
The joy that they show for just the smallest things makes my heart happy
@@CCoburn3 big facts. It's the appreciation for me
Can not agree more brother!
Right 🙏
OMG! You got my package! I'm so happy, and so pleased that you like the taffy from Dewar's! They've been making it for over a century, so no surprise that they really know what they're doing, eh? Thanks for making MY day!

@@wendydotson8891 Oh, wow! Thanks for letting me know! I'm so happy to hear that teachers are still doing field trips to Dewars! That's awesome! There's one on Rosedale Hwy. and Calloway Drive, but I still prefer the ORIGINAL one downtown on Eye Street. It's classic!
@@heatherjohansen5555 Thanks, Heather! The peanut butter ones are definitely MY favorite too, but they make a LOT of other great chews. :)

Agreed. Positive and uplifting environment. Exploration and creativity are key. ☝🏻
Love to see the respect you show my country, with no judgements on our failures. Thank you

She exclaimed," I know what this is!"

You enjoy and show a lot of respect for the U.S. military and as a veteran of the USAF I am honored. I also love watching Atlanta's Kitchen, what a talented and sweet young chef. God bless you all.
Interesting. I am actually a little turned away from the videos due to respecting the US military despite the constant war crimes.
Enjoy watching your videos but I'm CRACKING UP at the rolling trays your kids got. 😂
did 12 years in the U.S. Air Force. awesome you guys are making an impact all the way over on this side of the world.
Are these the coolest kids or what?! Would not expect anything less from the coolest parents! What a lovely family. Thank you so much for learning about the USA and teaching us what a loving family is all about. May your god bless you all abuntantly!
Seeing this video made me cry, with tears of joy. As a New Mexican now living in Alabama, I miss my home state. And fun fact New Mexicos state Question is Green or Red or Christmas, Its because we love our Chile red or green. New Mexico is a very unqiue, beautiful state. The Balloon Fiesta is my favorite fiesta to go too when i get the chance. As a Child we would go Every year and all week. Hope one day your family will be able to enjoy the beautiful hot air balloons. Many prayers and love. Thank you for showing what family really is about🤗
Red on enchiladas and green for everything else;) sending you good thoughts from the 505, and hope you come back someday @starlovepatriot
As a fellow New Mexican, I love all chile but my favorite way to eat it is Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas. I like red chile on my beef enchiladas but I can go either way. Definitely love Green Chile Stew and for Posole I like both but prefer it made with green chile. Also love Chile Rellenos smothered in white queso made with Hatch green chiles.
@@sernastephenj I miss the smell of roasting chiles and then going home to peel them and package them was always my favorite part. You really do miss stuff when you can no longer do it. I will always love and be proud to be from New Mexico. Its the culture, the people, and everything else that makes it New Mexico🤗
Your New Zealand Family 🇳🇿, y'all will enjoy the Liberty Kids series. Liberty Kids is a series that teaches about the American Revolution and a few years after the revolution in a fun and interesting way. I, an American grew up watching the Liberty Kids and I enjoyed watching it. As far as I know alot of my fellow Americans have watched the Liberty Kids when they were younger.
Really hope this gets to you in time. I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico and the green chilies you were send are from Hatch, NM and nowhere else. They come in green and red (mature) and can be quite powerful, so taste first.
The chilies are turned into a type of salsa and served on almost everything. When served together, such as on enchiladas it is termed as "Christmas" because of the colors.
Will be interested to hear your reaction.
Thank you for the hours of enjoyment you have blessed this 74 year old woman with.
I just love you guys! Such a wonderful and beautiful family.
When I watch your family, I have tears in my eyes thinking how great you are teaching your beautiful kiddos. from Albuquerque New Mexico
THE MILITARY MEANS ALOT TO US HERE IN THE USA THEY ARE WHAT MAKES THE USA THE LAND OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. HI TO YOU FROM SAN DIEGO CA
I am with Denzel. My favorite animal is the tiger! I am a senior citizen in PA and I love how much your family enjoys learning about us!
Greetings from North Carolina. We Homeschool and we are studying Oceania right now. We found your channel and are really enjoying learning about life in New Zealand.
I saw that you were gifted Liberty Kids!!!
Our kids love those shows! Such a great way to learn about US History.
denzie really needs more gifts
@@CCoburn3 R2D2 (Star Wars) and Rosie (The Jetsons), and the robot that used to say “Danger Will Robinson” were all my favorites. I think there’s probably more but that’s what has popped into my mind when you mentioned robots. Oh, no, the nicer version of the one in the Ah Nold Schwarzenegger movie to which my brain is in freeze mode. 🤔😡😱
He's got a box enroute!
I wish I could afford to send them something it's a bummer.
@@catw6998 robbie the robot is another classic!
Hey from Atlanta! "Resurgens" means "to rise again". Atlanta's namesake city was burned to the ground in the American Civil War, but recovered and is now a cosmopolitan transportation and financial hub. The bird on the clock is the phoenix, since Atlanta rose from the ashes.
…I love you guys. Also Atlanta’s “tray” is what we call rolling🍃 trays 😂 but of course can be used for anything!
🤣🤣I was waiting for this comment . Was just telling the wife about the trays
I was wondering if anyone was gonna comment on those!!! Both Atlanta and Denzel got (as Sam put it) 'trinket' trays.
Yeah, I live in Springfield and Penny Lane was on the tray and that is definitely a smoke shop here lol.
i looked at the comments so fast when i saw the trays😂
Seriously. As soon as they showed that I thought, why in the world would someone send them a “trinket” tray? Lol
So nice of those people to send you some high quality stuff tailored to each of you.
Vist... Brother Francisco
When you come to AMERCIA 🇺🇸🦅
Its AMAZING HE KEEPS EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU PERSONALLY IN HIS PAYERS 🤲🏻✝️
His note was beautifully written.
Your family is amazing! The majority of Americans are patriotic (no matter what the media shows) and your show of appreciation & love towards us makes you guys irresistible! I would love to donate to your American trip, if u could tell me how please 🥰
Amazing gifts, snacks, pictures and letters sent to our Beloved NZ Family , Good Job everyone! :)
Love to see the map filling up. Your family deserves all the love and joy. You're doing more than you know for families all over. Much appreciation from northern IL. We are already on the map but I would send something local if I could afford it. Much love to you and yours from the great state of Illinois!
awesome packages everybody! thanks for sending the for us all to enjoy together with this awesome family!
LOVED Liberty Kids when I was younger. It was often shown in school for history class. Was my favorite part of the school day. Think I could still recite the theme song 20 years later L O L.
I still find it....on one hand....amazing....and on the other hand...disheartening....that a family from New Zealand shows so much respect and admiration for the flag of the United States of America while many of our own people trample on that beloved cloth and belittle what that banner means and represents.
One thing that I have come to expect from your videos.....and something that warms my heart every time....is the love that your family has for each other, Add in your love for learning, your love for adventure...and it is clear to see why so many people from around the world watch your videos and look forward to each and every new upload.
The Atlanta Braves won the World Series last year!
Watching the family opening presents is like having Christmas in the middle of the year. Love to all of you.
I loved living in New Mexico. The people were so kind. I painted my bike yellow in honor of NM. I buy Hatch chilies whenever I can find them.
It has been shown in all the mail. Your family is much bigger than just the 5 of you. Love you all, keep up the good work.
Aww nice, was nice to see Carlos with a treat...😊
What a bunch of wonderful, thoughtful gifts. You are all amazing to send presents to this awesome NZ family.
We just dropped off a package from Indiana!
Watching your videos makes my heart happy. In the USA were all so busy all the time there isn't hardly a time we're all in the house except to sleep other than holidays. The excitement you all show is pure joy 😊! Shoutout from VA.
THANKSGIVING MENU IDEA:
So in the southern part of America we often eat pecan pie for the holidays. My family always does one pumpkin pie and one pecan pie. Pecan pie is a really tasty pie experience and has always been my favorite of the two. I can’t wait to see what y’all do for the holidays this year!! 💛💜💛
Love you guys.
You know you're doing something right when you impress a monk.
How generous and wonderfully thoughtful of your fans 🔥💞🥰
I love the reactions to mail call. I reckon with all the flags your getting you could put them on poles and resemble the UN Building. What a great video.
Such a fun channel!!!! I love watching your joy, excitement and gratitude for all the packages 💗
I love watching how happy & excited they get when they open their gifts. And it's so kind of the people that got them all these awesome gifts.
I'm from New Mexico, and I was hoping to send you some stuff before I saw Michelle did! It broke my heart, but I hope you love our FAMOUS green chile! Thanks for all you do!
I had never heard of that candy company, but your reaction made me want to try it! So many lovely, thoughtful presents to open today! I love seeing what everyone thinks of to send! I hope to see Washington added to the list soon...and eventually would love to send you some things from our beautiful state! Your family brings us so much joy! ❤
@@marydavis5234 Does that mean there’s some rum in that taffy? ;) Or, whisky in Dewars
case?
Fess up lol 😆
@@marydavis5234 Dewar's Candy Company doesn't have any connection to the Dewar's Scotch Company. They just have similar names. 😀
@@marydavis5234 I did look it up before typing my response. Dewar's Candy Company in Bakersfield, CA is a privately owned family business.
@@jasonmistretta4295 I looked it up , they are owned by Brothers, so they ae both from the same family.
@@jasonmistretta4295 I looked it up too and the Dewars scotch company is owned by the brother who created and runs the Dewars candy company , so they are the same family.
the liberty kids got me excited! I used to watch that like 20 years ago as a child, it was always on in the mornings on the weekends and was a wonderful education tool about the development and establishment of the US. a very fun and informative series for everyone, enjoy!
God is good and your family is a blessing to all of us!
Love from San Diego, California! My nephew has been in the Air Force for 16yrs now. He has @least 2bronze hearts, he doesn't like to talk about his metals 🤫♥️
TBF the medals aren't worth talking about often because medals tend to imply that they have committed war crimes.
Either you mean Purple Hearts or Bronze Stars. 1 Medal is for being wounded in battle (Purple Heart) the other medal is for a level of bravery and valor on the battlefield (Bronze Star). Not making fun of you just pointing out that they are 2 different Medals, as a veteran I wish to thank your Nephew for his service, even though he is a darn "Wingnut" I myself am a Marine Corps Veteran.
@@yankee_tango If someone got a bronze star they are almost certainly a war criminal. Do not thank them.
@@dilberthigh You are a disrepectful person, you have no clue what that is so it is best you keep quiet "Snowflake" . It is because of folks like her Nephew and myself defended or are defending your rights to be like you are, therefore you should be grateful and not disrespectful..
Everything in every package was awesome watching you all having a good time
Atlanta, those look like 10" or 11" pie pans. Make sure you use recipes for that size. A lot of recipes are for 8" or 9" where the volume is significantly smaller.
This is the first time I watched your video. You are such a sweet family. I have subscribed to keep up with you. I am on disability and am by myself a lot . My husband works fulltime at our local hospital. We live in a town in Pennsylvania about 10
Minutes from Hershey, PA ( chocolate). Also my town has a Dove chocolate factory. On certain days you can smell the chocolate. Also we are in Lancaster county . Which is home to the Pennsylvania Dutch Amish. I will keep in touch. Hopefully some day I can send you something from where I live. Have a beautiful day!
Showing Kindness. It Counts. 💖
Great job everyone 👏 👍
As a fellow Iowan, I'm proud to see our flag across the seas. I enjoy watching the family try many American things. I didn't know that other nations would be so into us, that's pretty cool. I have friends in Australia, and have always wanted to visit.
Love your enthusiasm as you open packages! Looking forward to lots more from you all!
GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY , A FAMILY I NEVER HAD I CRY I WISH I HAD A FAMILY LIKE YOURS
