    Also don't ever apologize for letting us witness you doing nice things for people like handing out cards and just your kindness that you do. We feel like we get to be part of it, like you said its kinda has us helping, and we get to witness that thank you for that. I know some people do it for ratings, but that definitely is not you in any way shape or form. We all know yours comes directly from your heart. So we would never take it like that. Its a pure joy to get to be involved by watching sorry so long

      why not consider giving the gift of your time? Volunteer to babysit for parents of young children, visit with an older person for an hour or two , volunteer for a non profit -- write an encouraging note or a birthday card to someone.... helping others does not require much money 🙂

    Such a sweet thing to help others and teach your boys to be kind. Its been a really hard year for so many people, my mom just got sick and its the worst feeling in the world, I wish there was something I could do to make her not sick. Besides getting her stuff and medicine etc only thing I can do is pray and if everyone else can say a prayer too we would be forever grateful. ❤

    What a great blessing your family has been to others. I can remember receiving a year's supply of clean products, Aluminum/ plastic wrap, blankets, and pillows as an angel gift for all of my family one year when I was a struggling returning college student. They are items that food stamps do not cover and are the most expensive to cover out of pocket. Loved watching a great family be able to pass on soo many blessings. ☃Happy Holidays to all.🎄🎉

    Good Morning Hamm Family ❤️
    Your snowy landscape is absolutely beautiful. I'm praying we get at least a few good snow days this winter. Right now it's 42°F and the sun is shining. The sun is making a fruitless attempt to dry out the ground after days of chilly rain ❄️
    I love puzzles of all kinds. Jigsaw puzzles are some of my favorite... great job Weston, Everett and Bennett 🧩
    It is so thoughtful and caring of you and your Family to spread a little joy to others, especially during the Holidays. Thank you for giving a card to a member of our Military. They sacrifice so much. We have many Family and Friends that serve or have served - my Dad is a Marine, now guarding Heaven's Gates. I choked up each time you gifted someone, especially the first couple. And, it's so kind of Gary to "pay it forward". He's awesome. Bennett and Everett were so shy and sweet. You are raising some wonderful gentleman 😍
    Bennett, it was very thoughtful to think of Hunter and ask Mom about getting him a helmet. You are your Brother's Keeper in all the right ways ⛑️
    The Sample King has still got it... and Everett, I would love a Madeleine too, or some Shortbread. Delicious. I just got a new wooden shortbread mold with a Tigers face. Can't wait to use it. I've never liked those Naked drinks, BUT, those Jalapeno Poppers are delicious, especially with Cream Cheese... even better if homemade. I eat mine with either Blue Cheese or Raspberry Habanero Dip. I just finished a glass of Egg Nog too. Southern Comfort's Vanilla Spice is good... and yes, I substituted the Nog for my Tea, which I will be indulging in later today 😋
    You need to put in a suggestion to Costco to invest in carts on skis 🛒🎿
    Hi Miss Luna. Dakota and Ash hide when there's company around or too much commotion, at least until they feel comfortable making an appearance and asking for head or back scratches. Maggie, on the other hand, is a social butterfly full of wigglebutts and slobbery kisses 🥰
    Y'all have a great day and weekend. Yah's Blessings ❤️

    Love this video so much
    You're an amazing mother and your boys are so kind and so humble and you can tell they do things like this because they wish to and that it's from the heart and not just for content like some other family channels. It's exactly the same with you and Mark, you do things to help those in need, not just for the likes, which unfortunately is what some channels do. I love watching you all and love that you allow us into your lives. Your channel has been so helpful to me and given me little pockets of joy in what has been an extremely bad year. Exactly 1 year ago today I was rushed to Hospital and I was dying. I'm extremely lucky to have survived but recovery is on going and and very tough. I also love that youll be doing a giveaway. I know whoever is lucky enough to win will really appreciate it. Sadly I'm not eligible as I'm in the UK but I can't wait to see who wins. Sending lots of love to you all from the UK. You're an inspiration and I wish there were more people like you and your lovely family in the world ❤️
