    That tree is a perfect height, not too short at all. So much easier to decorate when it’s not too tall.

    Art simply had a breakdown from all that stress. But y'all have so many children together you two just have to try to make it together at least until those babies get raised. Glad you gave him more chances.

    I’m doing advent for the first time this year with my grandkids. My grandson is 4 and my granddaughter is 3. Each night I read a chapter from the book of Luke. Then we do their calendar and get their chocolate. They’re cheap calendars I got for less than $2 each at Aldi. They’re now asking every day to read our bible story and get their candy. They don’t always pay close attention to what I’m reading and obviously they don’t understand it, but I’m planting seeds! ❤️

    Did he really ask that question- has there ever been a more stressed out year? If that question needed to be asked, it should have been in private where Bri could respond honestly. Her response and facial expressions said it all. It’s not about shame or guilt. Bri is a godly and wise woman. She is protecting herself and the children’s hearts as she should. Some wounds need to exposed to the light in order to heal!

    Babies DO listen to Everything!!! And Royal IS very smart!
    My mother told me that I did not speak one word until I was 2 1/2; - but then I started out speaking in complete sentences!!! The “wheels were turning in there” all along!!!
    Babies are little geniuses because they HAVE to Listen, Watch, and Think long before they can Speak!!!

    Bri, you are so right about the stress, yet sweetness of decorating with lots of kiddos. When our boys were little it was the same. But even now with only one little, it can still be a little stressful 😂 praying for healing for your family. ❤️

    My baby was smiling and loving this video! It is interesting because my older children used to watch your videos with us a few years ago and now it is like I've introduced a new person to your family haha.
    Your tree is very pretty. I love how there is tic-tac-toe scratched into your couch.
    I really like the book wrapping idea. Cute! We also are doing Advent and read a devotional.

    So enjoyable with Art back. Just seems like he’s the heart of the home … before, we seen Art and the kids and wondered where Bri was most of the time. … between the chores, the root cellar, feeding the kids, Art was always smiling. ♥️ Good to see you smiling again Art YOU were missed by all the viewers I’m sure but am positive from my little town. Everyone was wondering where you went and went searching too and saying anything they could think of and was terrified something happened to the babies

    When I was married in the’80’s, my husband would drag our mattresses into the living room when we were sick and we would all watch TV and fall asleep together. It was special and the memories for us, (we’re friends now)and the memories for our 4 kids are very fond.
    Great video, thanks for sharing with us all!!

    Bri, we know how much you love and miss the farm. You have been so very blessed with this gorgeous, safe, warm comfortable home. All of you are thriving mentally and physically and it’s so good to see.
    So sorry that the awful bug going around has bitten all of you….Truely’s fever-glazed eyes are so sad to see and brings back those days for us too when it ran rampant through our 5……usually during a holiday right?!
    You all did such a good job of decorating through it all and it really did lift spirits.
    Sending all of you so much love and prayers for healing and for a merry Christmas with a new year of health and healing.
    You have all brightened so many lives with this channel….taught so many good lessons on child rearing and with your beautiful garden. You are a blessing to us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.💖🤗🙏🙏

    Bri, last year I got a shoe box per child. After Christmas, I packed their ornaments in their own shoe box. This year it was way less stressful! Put your ornaments up and then you are done!! After I put up the breakable ones at the top. It was way more enjoyable this year!!

    Family is so important and the kids sense you are working together to make your family a unit. Remember Bri…you have worked so hard to become an independent, self-reliant woman who has become an inspiration to so many single Moms. Take your time, be open to possibilities but put yourself and the kids first. Good luck to you both.
