    Maria has really grown into a lovely young lady right before our eyes. Wishing you and family many opportunities to make wonderful memories this year. Thanks for sharing a small part of your life.

    Jennifer, I love how your kids are so comfortable showing affection. I loved the big ol hug that Peter gave you. The kids are growing up, the boys are so handsome, and Maria is becoming such a beautiful young lady. You have such a lovely family. Another great video ❤

    I made ham and green bean casserole for Christmas Day. I also got a couple of containers of potato salad and a pumpkin pie from the grocery store. All of it was very good!

    I laughed when Warren said he was leaving some ham on the bone for soup 😂 ( I remember when you mentioned that he cleaned it off very well last time and there was only a smidge left for the soup 😂 )

    The chimney with snow balls had me laughing out loud. It sounded like something I would say and then my sons or husbands would react like Warren....I think that is smoke, honey.....so funny. I love that you are all still doing Christmas. It is like after all the busyness of the season you get to relax and enjoy! Great video:) Always love seeing the kids!

    Hi Jennifer. Thank you again for extending the Christmas spirit by showing the lights! We don't see many "awesome and amazing" lights where I live so it was a pleasure (I thought they were snowballs too LOL). I will check your Thanksgiving video for the sweet potato casserole. I always get a warm feeling spending time with the Brockmans. Hugs.

    • @acountrylife

    We had hug & kiss soup yesterday. My favorite way is also the second day! It’s sooo hot the day you make it and I’m a wimp so it takes me forever to cool it down. That is definitely one of my favorite soups! 😋

    Loved the big Sam hug.❤ Since cooking ham in the crockpot, I can't do it any other way. A little syrup, brown sugar & a couple rings of pineapple, comes out perfect every time. We always serve the same sides as you.😊Snowballs...or Smoke 🤣

    Hi guys, the patina from the backsplash was a deep red, which was so warm, and cozy, with the angle of light rays. Jennifer, your ham dinners are always so delicious, as is everything you cook,or bake. You put your heart ❤️ into everything you do. The light show was charming, especially the snowball shaped smoke xxx and the two eagles, i think, at the end.
    God bless 🙌 the Brockmans.

    Your ham supper looked delicious. Jennifer, have you ever made sweet potato pies? Falon on Moss Family Kitchen has a wonderful recipe for them. It calls for instant vanilla pudding. So good!
    Happy New Year to you and your precious family.❤

    Posh Puffs are my favorite. It's funny that when you place a Walmart order, you can not add them to your list. The only way to get them is to have them shipped to you. But when I'm actually in the Walmart store, I can always find them? I like the full size boxes. I ordered them in my last Walmart order, and I just received them yesterday (8 boxes).

    Oh Jennifer…what a truly lovely visit today. I’m thinking I need the validation that Christmas isn’t from Halloween to Christmas Day. I don’t have a problem if that’s what people want to do BUT don’t come into my home and gasp when I’m still celebrating long into the new year. I figure if my house is deconstructed by Valentines Day then it’s all good. Besides, Christmas Eve begins the whole Christmas celebration for us because we are busy about celebrating Thanksgiving and then preparing our lives for the birth up to Christmas Eve. I give EVERY holiday it’s just due even if I don’t deck out the house for each one. I always feel a bit of sadness the day my Christmas decor comes down only because I feel that it goes so quickly. The end of my rant! Joe made me chuckle as he looked in the camera checking to see if he looked good in his cowboy hat I am thinking but next time he needs to say hi to all of Moms followers🤭. I just am exhausted watching how quickly Peter and Maria are growing into young adults…one day they too will be off and running in a new direction building their own life. I will admit that I miss the years when my 2 babies were little but life does go on!!! Hoping you are enjoying the new year looking forward to all that 2025 will bring to you and your family!!!:):):)
