Ive noticed Joel in the last few videos. You can see/feel the pressure on his face. Trying to take care of so much, his family first, building a new home for them in cold weather, not living in the home thats he "built" for so many years and on top of all that his sweet mother not being well. It all can take a toll, I know Ive been there. Dont push yourself Joel, Gods plan is already laid, we can only do so much. Its hard for all of you but there is light at the end of the tunnel...God bless your family, near and far. Bonnie, just watched your mom this morning, I know she is missing her home and family, you can see it in her eyes and heart - talking about her parents and grandparents. Its especially hard during the holidays. Like her, as we start to get older the memories keep flooding in.......take care and enjoy each step of the way. oxox Sending love and prayers. 💖
Poor Joel you can tell he is so tired and worn out:( all that building the house and being a dad and husband is hard. But you can tell he does it out of love. Joel get the much needed rest you need.
Love Boston he is so sweet! Even the part about Joel opening the drone he said he will open it up and get it out it will be fine! He seems like a peace maker
Joel will enjoy his drone when he is able to relax at the new house. Boston was so sweet wanting to keep Olivia’s name. A cure for Lincoln telling what someone else got is to have him wait to shop until the day of or a day before the exchange. It won’t be fun for him but he’ll learn to keep a secret.
Oh that Lincoln can try your patience can’t he?! He’s the one that pushes everyone’s buttons just to get a rise out of them isn’t he? And especially when you are vlogging…
I love when yur family does gift exchange! It's always a fun one for sure!! Aww I bet Aunt Linda is ready for the holidays to already be here!! Bless her heart!! Yeah Joel does look tired! He's been working hard!! Thanks for sharing!!
Poor Joel, he looks drained. But if it's any consultation, the best Dad's are those that can fall asleep even while their kids are making noise in the background. My husband is the same. You guys are brave letting the kids have presents under the tree so early! I'm excited to see what Boston got Olivia! He always does a great job!
Oh Joel, I could really tell that you are so tired. You work so hard for your family and it shows. I hope that during the holidays you take some time to relax and rejuvenate your mind and body. You guys have gone through a lot with moving and building your dream home. I am praying for you all. Love you guys!
Joel I know you are extremely busy but please try to get some rest, I know you don’t know me but I absolutely adore you you remind me so much of my son,he also works very hard and likes things done properly,please please please get some rest
How fun for the kids to draw out names for Christmas presents. 🎁 Glad your all feeling a bit better and that Olivia gets over her laryngitis soon. ❄️ Joel is doing such a wonderful job on the new house. When do you feel you will be able to move in?
Don't sell the drone!! When you move into your new house you can use it to do so many fun things! With all of that land and beautiful scenery! You could add sunrises and sunsets when you open and close the vlogs! Just wait until you move into the new property.
My sisters are twins and 12 years older than me so we didn't do the draw names. I feel like I missed out lol. I can't wait to see what they got each other! Think I'm most excited for Aunt Linda though.
Having a parent really ill drains you emotionally and thats without all the other life stresses you are going through. Hope joel/mark is ok and his mum is doing well
Dog groomer here. I wouldn’t recommend giving your pup a bath more than once a month, it can really dry out their skin/coat and can cause skin problems in the future. You want to keep their natural oils to protect their skin. I recommend dog wipes or freshening spray when she gets dirty in between baths! It is good that you use CHI tho that’s great for them! ❤️
They could write down on a sheet of paper everything they think is in their gift. There can be many guesses on their list... When they finally open it, see if anyone guessed the answer on their long list of guesses ....
Me and my sisters who has been doing Sibling Gift Exchange every year since we were little kids, (we still do it) we love doing it. Also we go to Smith & Edwards, i don't like as much as i used to. But why the my dad gets me to go, he says to me and my sisters if you guys go. We can stop at Burger bar and get shakes, and if anyone is from Utah you will know what burger bar is, lol.
Bonnie, you should recreate "guess the food" when Lincoln was very little he kept saying what the food was before the others would blind taste it, it was one of the funniest videos I've seen, really cheered me up, in fact I'm going to watch again now 👷♂💇♀👩🎤👨🍳👨🌾👨🎨
Bonnie quick question for you. I make the rolls from your cookbook every Thanksgiving and Christmas. My question is can I make them ahead of time and put them in the fridge? I’m trying to save time. If I can store them for the night how do I store them so they are still fresh. Thank you. Hope you and your family have a magical Christmas.
If you don't want the kids to tell each other, just tell them that they CAN tell each other. They'll notice real quick that it is no fun to know beforehand because they can't unbox it yet and half the fun IS the surprise.
Me! Just bleach the sink afterwards it’s not that difficult especially when your small dog is scared of bath tubs the kitchen sink is always the best resort
Just something about it being the place where food is prepared, uh no thank you. And also it is her moms house, it’s kinda disrespectful, especially since we know her mom wasn’t too fond of the dog being there anyway.
I hope you went and showed the store you were in that item that Olivia's hair got caught in. That's gross to think of somebody looked at that to buy it and saw hair in it.
Love your videos content lately can you do night routine also day in the life with your daughter can you cleaning video? Can you do qand a I have question what happened between you Julie and ruby ? Do you still get to see Julie abby russle and Eve ?

God love Boston’s heart. He really wanted Olivia!❤
Yes that was so sweet
He’s the sweetest ever!
Love the sibling gifts every year! Can’t help but notice Joel seems to have a lot on his shoulders. Praying for him ❤️ Love you guys
Poor Joel you can tell he is so tired and worn out:( all that building the house and being a dad and husband is hard. But you can tell he does it out of love. Joel get the much needed rest you need.
Love Boston he is so sweet! Even the part about Joel opening the drone he said he will open it up and get it out it will be fine! He seems like a peace maker
Joel (Mark) looks so tired or has lots of lists on his mind. Olivia is the absolute sweetest. The kids are getting so big.
SO cute how excited Boston is to have Olivia a 3rd year! He loves his sister💜💜💜
That store reminds me of my childhood and my grandpa who has passed away. He loved that store. Cherished memories of mine.

I absolutely adore Boston being honest and fair! U have some beautiful children!
Boston being so offended that you wanted to draw again 😂😂 what’s wrong with getting Olivia?! Awhh bless his heart lol
Mark (I had to) seems like he has a lot on his mind. He works hard. Glad you are all feeling better.
Joel hasn’t seemed very happy lately I’ve noticed that to along with Boston. Hope all is well.❤️
May be because of his mom's sickness.
I know that. Thanks for your reply
I was wondering, mabey he is tired but I don't wanna ask and get personal yk
Oh that Lincoln can try your patience can’t he?! He’s the one that pushes everyone’s buttons just to get a rise out of them isn’t he? And especially when you are vlogging…
I think your bond with Aunt Linda will grow even more during this time. I can’t wait to see her open presents.
I love that yall do this! My heart cried a bit when I realized Lincoln was writing his own to and from. He's growing up!
I love when yur family does gift exchange! It's always a fun one for sure!! Aww I bet Aunt Linda is ready for the holidays to already be here!! Bless her heart!! Yeah Joel does look tired! He's been working hard!! Thanks for sharing!!
I love the fact the kids always end up telling each what they got. 🤣🤣 every year.

You guys are brave letting the kids have presents under the tree so early! I'm excited to see what Boston got Olivia! He always does a great job!
I thing Joel is not only tired from working but he is worn out because of worrying about his mom too. She is seriously ill.
Best wishes 💞
Have a great week Bonnie and Joel
I hope Bonnie and Joel get to have some rest time so they can relax.
I loveeeee how Cody’s old enough to say “Look at that Corvette” and why it attracts him! Love it 😅😍🥹
Oh Joel, I could really tell that you are so tired. You work so hard for your family and it shows. I hope that during the holidays you take some time to relax and rejuvenate your mind and body. You guys have gone through a lot with moving and building your dream home. I am praying for you all. Love you guys!
Oh Joel, that is building a house pooped! It will be worth all your hard work! Bonnie you have the patience of a Saint.
I hope “Mark” gets some sleep! Olivia’s hair is so long and beautiful! Cody drawing a little bow tie in Boston’s present! ❤️
I look forward to these videos every year!
Joel I know you are extremely busy but please try to get some rest, I know you don’t know me but I absolutely adore you you remind me so much of my son,he also works very hard and likes things done properly,please please please get some rest

boston is so cute, he was almost offended that you guys were considering redrawing 😂 he was happy he got his sister!😂
Goodmorning Hollien family.Awwww it's amazing to do secret Santa with siblings.Hope you guys have a wonderful day ❤️ ❤️
😊👍
I'm 37 and I love hatchimals. My 14 yr old and I like to open ours at the same time and compare what ones we get
Boston is such a sweetheart.
Merry Christmas everyone I hope everyone is blessed during the holiday season
My sisters are twins and 12 years older than me so we didn't do the draw names. I feel like I missed out lol. I can't wait to see what they got each other! Think I'm most excited for Aunt Linda though.
I love how these videos feel like old home family videos that you’d make even if you didn’t have viewers.
Send love to joel he works so hard and is so tired ❤
Happy birthday Bonnie I hope you had a great day ❤❤❤❤
Having a parent really ill drains you emotionally and thats without all the other life stresses you are going through. Hope joel/mark is ok and his mum is doing well
Good Luck… lol 😂 Fun Watching. It’s so funny when they want to be surprised and still keep guessing…Sending hugs prayers and kindness ❤❤❤❤
😊👍

Lincoln is so funny when he was picking a name I could tell he was trying to look who he was getting and saying he wants to redraw lol 😂❤❤
The zoom in on hubs face is how all of our 90s camcorder videos looked! 😂
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking while I was recording!!!!
Joel should use that drone to fly over your property and lake! That would be fabulous footage!
I noticed Joel wasn’t his happy self!
I was just wondering, you give the boys haircuts but Lincoln’s is long. I was just wondering. Your whole family is adorable!!! 🎄🎅🏻⛄️❤️🎄
Your sibling gift exchanges convinced me to do it with my kids. This was pur second year doing it
When we drew names we always kept it secret. It so much fun.
They could write down on a sheet of paper everything they think is in their gift. There can be many guesses on their list... When they finally open it, see if anyone guessed the answer on their long list of guesses ....

But why the my dad gets me to go, he says to me and my sisters if you guys go. We can stop at Burger bar and get shakes, and if anyone is from Utah you will know what burger bar is, lol.
I would put the gifts away and not put under the tree until they are ready to be opened. No arguments!
Boston is a good boy and he help with his Siblings
Your boys are so handsome and Olivia is so pretty! Gorgeous family! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I was wondering if Joel was okay too. So observant of Cody. Our children are always watching us ❤😢
I absolutely love you guys so much and want to wish you all Merry Christmas from your biggest fan Louise in Melbourne Australia
Happy Monday, Bonnie!😊😊😊😊😊💙🌷💖🎄🎅❄🎉👍
How many times has Lincoln spilled the beans 😀

If I can store them for the night how do I store them so they are still fresh. Thank you. Hope you and your family have a magical Christmas.
Happy holidays
I was actually thinking of you and aunt Linda last night. Thinking how you and Mark will get no sleep on Christmas eve 😄🎄
Please tell me is olivia ever gets to see abby and julie as there appears to be a major rift between all the families?
How do you keep Lady from getting ear infections?
How are Joel’s parents? I feel like maybe that’s what is on his mind when you keep zooming in on him. Praying all is well 🙏🏻❤️
If you don't want the kids to tell each other, just tell them that they CAN tell each other. They'll notice real quick that it is no fun to know beforehand because they can't unbox it yet and half the fun IS the surprise.
“The longest two weeks of our life!”...Now that was funny!
Is Joel maybe worried about his mom, too? 😢❤️💙
Joel is so tired! ❤️
Loved the vlog
Poor Mark is exhausted 😅
I can see the 3D image
Joel works hard and is a working-hard man 👨 Love this beautiful family!❤️
If we where caught doing that to our presents we had to open them and miss out Christmas Day. So we never touched them. 😊
So who’s gonna spill the beans first?? Boston or Lincoln lmaoooo 🤣🤣🤣
❤
Poor tired Joel.
Joel looks like he needs a good nap!
I was wondering the same thing, Joel does not seem happy.
Why if all places do you bathe the dog in the kitchen sink?
Me! Just bleach the sink afterwards it’s not that difficult especially when your small dog is scared of bath tubs the kitchen sink is always the best resort
Just something about it being the place where food is prepared, uh no thank you. And also it is her moms house, it’s kinda disrespectful, especially since we know her mom wasn’t too fond of the dog being there anyway.
Hi
Lincoln looked so worried about the fan in Olivia’s hair 😂😂😂
❤❤
❤️ from sweden
Is Joel ok ? He doesn’t seem himself ❤❤
I hope you went and showed the store you were in that item that Olivia's hair got caught in. That's gross to think of somebody looked at that to buy it and saw hair in it.
Dont sell the drone record the new home beeing made.
Lincoln is the life of the party! 😂😂
Someone is going to pick up a fan that’s covered in hair 😂
😅😅😅
Throws fan on floor
🙄
Love your videos content lately can you do night routine also day in the life with your daughter can you cleaning video? Can you do qand a I have question what happened between you Julie and ruby ? Do you still get to see Julie abby russle and Eve ?
