This time of year can be CRAZY right? Wherever you are in the world, we hope your festive season is off to a great start!!! Enjoy this Behind the Scenes island life vlog... and let us know if your Christmas decorations were mouldy too!!!! Jase & Katie ✌🏼
What a beautiful people and family you are. The joy you bring into your lives and the love with upbringing your gorgeous children is a great inspiration ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄
Happy Holidays! I personally loved this video. I loved sharing your day to day life, seeing the challenges and beauty. I really appreciate you letting us into your lives. Seeing how the island affects your Christmas was fun! I enjoyed the supply dump and seeing what all you have to get to run the resort. More please! Merry Christmas!
Well done Arlo buddy!!!! That’s such a fantastic achievement 🥰 the tree looks fab guys, omg Arlo with Maeve 🥲♥️ and good rescue job on the deccies!!! I don’t miss mould in the tropics that’s for sure 🫠😂 and the farewell dance to mollie was so so lovely, I could feel your joy and love through the lens!!! What a lovely big extended family you all are ☺️
It’s just impossible to avoid the mould right!! It’s everywhere in everything. Not sure how / if this tree will last another year 😅 yeah it looks even better now it’s fallen over about 20 times with the little ones pulling on it lol 😝
Congrats Arlo! I have been following the vlogs since day 1 and have seen Arlo grew into a smart, sharp, creative, talented kid, keen to learn attitude (either through reading of books or by playing with a bucket full of crabs :) Great job Moli! Give yourself a pat on the shoulder. In general, teachers don't always get the praise they deserve..but seeing your student excel is a very rewarding feeling. There is this unexplainable feeling when you put up your christmas tree & the moment you switch on the lights you suddenly lost the adulthood in you haha! Seeing the farewell team at the jetty i said, who wouldn't want to return to uepi after receiving such a departure? 😅😅 Thanks Jase & Katie, another great vlog! Season greetings🎉
We’re so proud of Arlo too! He is always asking questions and eager to learn new things. 🦎☀️ and we really feel that this island life is such a massive part of creating inquisitive and kind hearted children... his reading has taken off this year and it's been amazing to see! I love seeing your comments as I know you've been here watching since we started the channel... it's such a pleasure to share our world with you!! Mollie is a LEGEND and we are so happy she is coming back for another year!! Christmas has got to be the most magical time of year indeed!! Sending big love to you and yours!!!
@TheIslandLifeofUs Thank you! My family & I love watching your vlogs. They got to see the lagoon and the beautiful sunsets and nature through your videos.
Wow you saved way more 🎄 decorations than I expected 🤩 well done 👍🏻 Arlo has grown taller and great achievement with school 👏 such a clever boy 🤩Darwin and Maeve hugs are so cute 🤗🥰 I love Filly chose the big glittery snow flake 🤪 another awesome episode 🥰 it’s going to be tough not being there for Xmas 😌🎄😘🤗🌺
Yeah we saved quite a few and some maybe it’ll be their last dash on the tree 💁🏼♀️😂 just hanging on lol but it’s all good. The babies are giving the tree a good daily shake down 🫣 so proud of Arlo … he worked so hard this year! And yes Grandmama it will be so sad not having you here this year 🥲🏝️
Another great vlog guys. I appreciate you all and I love seeing you guys all together. Darwin is getting so big now. Love seeing him helping out. Much love to you all. ❤❤
The Christmas tree looks beautiful. Very happy that you were able to salvage most of your decorations. I live way down south in Australia so I haven't dealt with the humidity in daily life, just when travelling so you did well with storing them. Beautiful (temporary) send off for Mollie 😅. Boats turned out beautiful.
thank you - so kind! The Christmas tree has had a few tumbles and is looking a little dishevelled if you ask me haha but it is still very pretty!! I'm not sure it'll last for next year haha but it was good while it lasted! We miss Mollie so much already but we know she's having some much needed rest with her own beautiful family in NZ!
Such a great video. The children are adorable and growing so fast. I remember when I left Uepi I had to throw my SLR camera away. LOL 😧. Repairers all said it would be cheaper to buy a new one than having it taken apart to remove all the mould! I well remember how that stuff would get everywhere, given a chance, but a small price to pay to live in paradise! Merry Christmas to you all. xx
It really does get everywhere doesn’t it?! It’s a small price to pay 🌴☀️ for sure. The mould in our camera lenses at the moment is quite heartbreaking as we can’t quite replace it just yet. The drying cabinet a little too late 🤦🏼♀️
@ so difficult to look after anything perfectly here! Yeah and when we replace gear now or get our underwater rig it can be in the dry cabinet from day 1! May still not even totally work
haha yes agreed... I am pretty sure last year we packed it away in the same packaging it had come in... the carton was awfully mouldy and I think inside the plastic must have been a bit too steamy hot!

Very proud of Arlo for working so hard this year and obviously Mollie has been amazing 🤩
I ❤ your Xmas tree! Looks like it belongs in a decor magazine. Happy Christmas to you all.
Thank you! I love our festive island tree too 🎄🦎☀️

We really enjoy your channel. Looking forward to watching your adventures. Blessings

Love the new boat makeup! Sorry I could not participate in the Zoom, but it was midnight here!
It's such a bummer you missed the zoom! Maybe next time! 😊 sorry the timing was tough on your end! A few US fam there to represent ☺️
Such a great video. The children are adorable and growing so fast.

@@TheIslandLifeofUs oh no. 😢. Maybe the drying cabinet can at least extend the cameras life? Fingers crossed. 🤞

Beautiful video! Plastic wrap may not be the best material to store the tree in :)
