My goodness, Lynette you are amazing to have worked so hard getting your new home ready to move in ready, Then to be moved in, settled, decorated, bake and hosting Christmas Eve and Christmas Day is truly exhausting, but it so very special. It was a sweet moment seeing all your family together, singing and giving God the glory. God bless you all.
Lynette, your house is absolutely beautiful! You and your family are all such amazing singers! You guys sounded like a choir, so very beautiful! Thanks so very much for allowing us to be part of your Christmas! Blessings, Sabrina
You are so so blessed to have such a lovely extended family. As my kids have grown and left the nest, it's just me and my hubby. I truly believe God intended for multi generational families to stay close, and my heart goes out to those alone, this time of year especially. Your singing truly touched my heart. Couldn't stop smiling throughout whole video.
My sisters and I used to sing Go Tell it on the Mountain when we were girls! Hearing you brought back some happy tearful moments! Thank you! My mother taught it to us, wrote out the harmonies. And she's been gone for over 50 years now. Christmas is much different without her. So, thank you again for the beautiful harmony and beautiful memories.
It looks like big brother was helping his little sister open her stocking. What a wonderful characteristic! An eye for those who need help and a willingness to help. I want to raise children like this! ❤
“Sing A Joyful Noise Unto The Lord.” Psalms 100.! YES! Hallelujah, Christ Is Born! Thank you for sharing The Good News of Christmas! May God Bless You & Your Family Always! Beautiful Home, Beautiful Family, Beautiful Followers of Christ! ❤️🥰😘🎼🎄🎉
Your home is beautiful and you are a whiz at getting everything put together so quickly. I love your natural decorations and that everything is touchable by the children. It’s wonderful how you include them in all the preparations creating lovely memories for the future. Your family singing together was just great. Sending you blessing your new home for years to come.
Looks like an amazing holiday... Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🎄🦌❤ I love the singing and the remainder of what the day is truly celebrating... Just a lovely holiday.
Dearest ones, Thankyou for letting me be a part of your beautiful Christmas! Your home is so beautiful Lynette and so tastefully decorated also . May the Lord richly bless you all now in this holiday season and much more in eternity 🙏❤️🎄
The singing was beautiful - I swear it sounded like a choir! Can't wait to see more of the house, it is just beautiful and Happy New Year to you and the family!!!
Beautiful Christmas in your new home with your family. We just visited Sarasota and enjoyed 80+’ weather. My son and his new wife drove from Miami to Wisconsin to spend Christmas with us and they braved the roads and our -27 to -35 below windchills. Blessings and peace to you all for the new year.
The family singing was special and it really felt like Christmas. You are blessed to be surrounded with family especially at this time of the year. Your new home was filled with love for each other and your faith. America could use some of the same, for sure. 🙏❤️
It is astounding how much you have done in the last few months. Hurricanes, remodeling, moving, decorating, running a household with four children, holidays and now hosting your family. Very inspiring! Happy New Year to you and your family 👋
Oh Lynette, your charcuterie board (I guess that what yours was) was beautiful! You gave me such a great idea on doing one that way! You’re so talented! You all have beautiful voices! I felt the spirit of the Lord moving as you all sang. Your kitchen is beautiful.
Looks like it was a beautiful Christmas. I must have missed a video because I didn't know Jackson was in a cast. He looks like an experienced conductor! 😀Loved seeing the family singing! Looks like one of your brother-in-laws is ready for a pumpkin of his own. He loved holding Harper! She is such a happy baby! Love seeing her smile so easily all the time!So glad your home works for entertaining. You did such a beautiful job decorating for the season!
I want to say that I admire the closeness that your family had to one another. Its truly a joy to see all of you so close to one another and to your faith. I wish my family was as close as this. You are so blessed my friend ❤️
The house looks amazing! I can't believe you were able to get everything unpacked, decorated and cooked, etc. for hosting Christmas in such a SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME! I WISH I WAS LIKE YOU!
Wow! Your home looks great and you’ve accomplished so much in just one week. What I enjoyed the most was your family singing together (beautiful) and sharing Jesus. I pray God will richly bless you and yours!
Watching this at the end of Feb. it snowed 2 days this past week so lows in the teens for a couple days. Today it was 65 degrees with snow on the ground. No sweater or coats . Miss having Christmas with family. It was just my son and I. So grateful to see family get together.
You all worked so hard on this new home and it is beautiful. I admire how much space you have and the flow of the rooms. Especially when you have a larger group. Amazing how you were able to have it functional and beautiful in just one weeks time. Just an FYI: I melt my almond bark on low in the crock pot. It only takes about an hour and works great. So, if you ever run in a pickle or don't have time to stir it, that's another option.
Oh, Lynette! The singing! It just touched my heart so deeply and was such a blessing. The harmony was just beautiful! I was wishing for more! Your new home is stunning! I can't believe how you had everything so perfectly arranged and settled in such a short time. I guess it probably didn't feel like such a short time to you since you all did all the work! LOL! I loved seeing all your family gathered together, and it is just wonderful how God let everything fall into place in time for you to host for Christmas! He is so faithful and so good. Little Harper just gets cuter by the day! It's hard to believe she is already big enough to crawl. Time flies by so fast. I trust God will bless you and your family with a wonderful new year filled with His goodness!
It is amazing to me that you managed to put together a complete christmas eve and Christmas Day for your whole family just a few days after moving. Jaxon does not seem to be too disturbed by his broken arm. The house is just beautiful. Modern decor isn't my style but it looks cosy , comfortable and very pretty.
I am viewing this video on January 18, 2023. I am a little late, but enjoyed it immensely. Your home is beautiful, cozy & very much Full of Christmas joy!!!! 🎄 I loved hearing your family sing together. "GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN" is one of my favorite songs. Your food looked delicious and I LOVE your kitchen. It flows to your other rooms so nicely!!!!!
Thanks for the singing. Your family is precious. Your home turned out beautiful. Every time Harper smiles I can’t help but smile what a sweetie. Thanks for sharing your family Christmas with us. And yes it’s incredibly cold in Hartville, Ohio.
Благодарим за прекрасное пение мы очень любим эту песню , научили нас американские друзья. Рады были побывать у Вас в гостях на празднике, все очень здорово!!!! 🌲🎀💞
What a great Christmas season. Our church did a Christmas Eve and Christmas Day service, both shortened. But power packed pentecostal service non the less. Our family also draws names and exchanges adult gifts that way also. I feel that it has made our Christmas' more Christ centered and meaningful.
Love watching babies when they get so excited when discovering things. Really makes one appreciate the small things. Harper is adorable and so curious...makes me so joyful to watch her 💜💙💚💛🧡
Absolutely beautiful! Loved following along for your the special day. The singing and worshiping Jesus was beautiful and your new house did host everyone so perfectly!! It’s absolutely beautiful. Happy new years!😊
Your home is beautiful! And she's off! Harper is crawling, where does the time go? Many voices lifted in praise is the most beautiful sound. Thanks for sharing your family Christmas with us!❤🎄
As tired as you and Nick probably still are, it's clear it's a huge relief to both of you to be in your home and not the rental. Your house is beautiful. Happy New Year!!!!
What a beautiful video. Everything looked so festive , I just don’t know how you pulled it all together and entertained everyone on top of just moving in and 4 little ones. You are an inspiration Lynette! I am so happy for you in your beautiful new home. I hope little Harper is feeling better, she sure is a happy little baby 💞
coldest winter we recall in Sarasota was 1987..it actually snowed on Christmas eve...i recall clearly as we took the boys outside to see the snow, and youngest wound up in the ER Christmas afternoon with pneumonia...this was the second coldest ever ...I looked for the silver lining...and checked the temps where we lived up in GA for the last 6 years before moving back...and it was 8 degrees not counting the wind chill...thankfully we kept all of our cold weather gear. House looks great hope your holiday was blessed beyond belief
Good morning, hope your Christmas was wonderful l Your new home looks gorgeous. I love the singing. We always sang when we all got together. Now they are all gone on ahead and I sure do miss them. Precious beautiful memories are treasures for my heart. Create them for your children ,when you are gone the memories remain. Enjoy❤
A day or two before Christmas, here in Nashville, the temperature dropped down to below zero. The coldest I was aware of was 2 degrees below zero and that was the day when the electricity in Nashville went out and my furnace is electric. It was about 10 p.m. which is a bit earlier than I normally go to bed but I went to bed anyway because being huddled under a bunch of covers was the only way I knew of to get warm. I got warm enough that I slept very well and in fact I didn't wake up until 10 a.m. but the electricity was still off. I was trying to figure out what I could have for breakfast that would not need me to use the oven or the microwave or a skillet or the toaster and all I could think of was peanut butter and crackers. I was trying to convince myself that this would be a lovely breakfast and the power came back on. It had been off for about 12 hours and it was amazing to me how quickly my house got seriously cold. It's interesting how much we depend on our "modern conveniences" and how lost we are when we have to do without them for a short period of time. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have made it very well if I had lived back in pioneer days. BTW, when I got up this morning I think the temperature was right around 25 degrees and it currently is 56 so I guess our cold snap has moved on. I will NOT miss it! I loved seeing Christmas in your new house. You have it looking so nice! It looks like you've been there a couple of years instead of a couple of days! You pulled everything together very quickly. I hope you had a very happy Christmas.
What a lovely video! Made me homesick for my family. Many folks don't know the traditions of the Mennonites and Amish. Family, fellowship, food, help, singing, Jesus,and hospitality are major life points. Pinecraft parade was shortened due to weather, but the tourists from the north could enjoy it. Nick's company didn't participate? Loved Jaxon conducting even with a cast. Enjoyed the fellowship with your family and friends. Was the Amish couple close family and tourists? I love visiting my siblings and cousins in Sarasota. Forget the beach!! So happy your kitchen set-up flowed and worked well with all hands on deck. Hey, Kara! Your coffee machine looked like the highlight of the kitchen. Loved the charcuterie board. With rosemary? Did you gift Christmas Eve? That would make sense with church Sunday morning and company coming. The dining area was greatly planned to add more seating for guests. I really enjoyed the Blessed singing. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home and family with us. The children are showing the love taught at home.1 God Bless your new home as you continue to share your thoughts and life around the world. Greetings from GA. Karen Yoder
What a wonderful Christmas in your beautiful new home, after all your hard work! So lovely to hear all the singing too! Congratulations to you all and may you be very happy in your new home! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧💕😊
Love your house !!! Florida was cold , glad I brought my coat along. We are back to Ohio and it was 63 and I heard Florida was 80 today.😊 Enjoyed the video !
In the 30’s! Oh how we wished here in NY. Blizzard winds caused windchills -25 F . Crazy . Many deaths. Your home and family are beautiful! 😊 Happy Holidays ❤
The house looks so good.. I didn’t put that on the other comment! Go tell it on the mountain.. was my precious Mothers favorite song.. and that got me choked up.. You all have done a great job! Relax a little now. 🌟
Loved the singing and all the family together. Food looked delicious. Congratulations on being in your new home at Christmas and having all the family there to Bless you all. The children are so adorable. I am honestly truly happy for you all. Hope you find time to have some much needed rest and relaxation. Happy New Year to you all and my prayer and hope is that it will be better again. God Bless you all.
I love the house! U r such a good decorator! Ur style is so in vogue! I love ur family-ALL of them. The food u made was amazing. U r so creative! Skewers with rosemary? Brilliant! U r such a good mom, and wife, and daughter, and sister! I wish I lived in Sarasota Florida, so we could b friends! 🤗
How beautiful! The house, the singing (brought me to tears!), those sweet kiddos! Goodness! You amazed me at how beautiful you put your home together so quickly. Love it! It's gonna be a great home to live and love in!
Enjoyed your families Christmas celebration. Singing was magnificent. Such great harmony. I was so happy for you that you were in your new home. I just love your family.
Made me cry because my parents have passed and my husband's parents too. Miss them so much this time a year but keep going for our children and grandchildren. I felt like I was in my little church with the songs. Hold on to the memories. Merry Christmas!!
Same prob with Christmas tree as I have every year. 😅❤ Children and baking cookies go hand in hand. Thank you. Your home is lovely and family getting together is the best.
Thanks for sharing your family’s Christmas celebrations! I am so awed by how you were able to settle in and decorate for Christmas so quickly! Plus hosting at your house! You are amazing! I am so happy about the new house for you and your family and am looking forward to you sharing life in your new place!
Have followed your family for some time and will keep following. Merry xmas and happy new year and most of all stay safe and healthy to all your family members🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅
Your home is beautiful. Love the green cabinets! Thanks for sharing your family gatherings. Go tell it on mountain is one of my favorite songs! Be glad you weren’t in Ohio Christmas weekend. We had several days of below zero temps and windchills at negative 20. Wind was howling and felt like roof would blow off any minute. Yikes! Happy New Year! 🎉
Such a lovely video to watch! So pleasant seeing little glimpses of your Christmas set to pretty music and family singing. Thank you for sharing with us.❤️🎄
You’ve done a brilliant job, the house looks great. Loved the singing. Hope Oaklynn is feeling better and Jaxon’s arm healing well. All good wishes for 2023 from London, England.
It is beautiful when family can get together and celebrate Jesus
Amein
Amen!
Listening to your family sing brings me more joy than any Christmas album! God bless and keep you this day and always
I agree! I joined in!
My goodness, Lynette you are amazing to have worked so hard getting your new home ready to move in ready, Then to be moved in, settled, decorated, bake and hosting Christmas Eve and Christmas Day is truly exhausting, but it so very special. It was a sweet moment seeing all your family together, singing and giving God the glory. God bless you all.
Truly, a magician! ❤
You and all your family are a beautiful example of how families should be. May God bless you all
Lynette, your house is absolutely beautiful! You and your family are all such amazing singers! You guys sounded like a choir, so very beautiful! Thanks so very much for allowing us to be part of your Christmas! Blessings, Sabrina
That sweet girl sure looks like her big brother. Your sister is the best aunt ever. Thank you for sharing.
You bring me such peace in my heart when I watch your videos. I love the wholesomeness of your lifestyle. It makes me feel joyous.
You are so so blessed to have such a lovely extended family. As my kids have grown and left the nest, it's just me and my hubby. I truly believe God intended for multi generational families to stay close, and my heart goes out to those alone, this time of year especially. Your singing truly touched my heart. Couldn't stop smiling throughout whole video.
My sisters and I used to sing Go Tell it on the Mountain when we were girls! Hearing you brought back some happy tearful moments! Thank you! My mother taught it to us, wrote out the harmonies. And she's been gone for over 50 years now. Christmas is much different without her. So, thank you again for the beautiful harmony and beautiful memories.
You’re a Wonder Woman to be able to move, unpack, and host two events in one week! Everything looked so pretty!!
Your home is beautiful! You have done a fantastic job designing it… and what a super mom to get the tree set up and everything! 🤩
It looks like big brother was helping his little sister open her stocking. What a wonderful characteristic! An eye for those who need help and a willingness to help. I want to raise children like this! ❤
The singing was WONDERFUL. Y'all sound beautiful together. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. God bless😇💚♥️🙏
Blessing to all of you! Your home is beautiful and your decorating is perfect! I can see lots of memories made their!
Your home is so beautiful and beautifully decorated!
I love the way your family sings together, such wonderful worship to our King.

Harper is such a smiley, jolly baby! 😊 Your house looks beautiful!

It gave me the chills hearing you all sing, "Go Tell It On the Mountain"! Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing with us your beautiful newly decorated home! Beautiful family and love your singing! Harper is the most smiling baby I know!! ❤️
Dearest ones, Thankyou for letting me be a part of your beautiful Christmas! Your home is so beautiful Lynette and so tastefully decorated also . May the Lord richly bless you all now in this holiday season and much more in eternity 🙏❤️🎄
Watching old blogs while recovery from the hurricane goes on. Glad nothing was too badly harmed and grateful that you can assist others.
The singing was beautiful - I swear it sounded like a choir! Can't wait to see more of the house, it is just beautiful and Happy New Year to you and the family!!!
Beautiful Christmas in your new home with your family. We just visited Sarasota and enjoyed 80+’ weather. My son and his new wife drove from Miami to Wisconsin to spend Christmas with us and they braved the roads and our -27 to -35 below windchills. Blessings and peace to you all for the new year.

Thank you for sharing this. It brought tears to my eyes and I could listen to your family sing all day. What a blessing.
How simply elegant is this? So lovely! The singing has me melting! We need a cd of you all singing. GORGEOUS! 🥰🥰
The house looks amazing! I can't believe you were able to get everything unpacked, decorated and cooked, etc. for hosting Christmas in such a SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME! I WISH I WAS LIKE YOU!

You all worked so hard on this new home and it is beautiful. I admire how much space you have and the flow of the rooms. Especially when you have a larger group. Amazing how you were able to have it functional and beautiful in just one weeks time. Just an FYI: I melt my almond bark on low in the crock pot. It only takes about an hour and works great. So, if you ever run in a pickle or don't have time to stir it, that's another option.
Oh, Lynette! The singing! It just touched my heart so deeply and was such a blessing. The harmony was just beautiful! I was wishing for more! Your new home is stunning!

I always LOVE seeing videos with your family. The singing was just beautiful! It looks like you all had a wonderful Christmas.
The new home Christmas video is just lovely. All of you sang so beautifully. Happy New Year!
It is amazing to me that you managed to put together a complete christmas eve and Christmas Day for your whole family just a few days after moving. Jaxon does not seem to be too disturbed by his broken arm. The house is just beautiful. Modern decor isn't my style but it looks cosy , comfortable and very pretty.

Our church did a Christmas Eve and Christmas Day service, both shortened. But power packed pentecostal service non the less. Our family also draws names and exchanges adult gifts that way also. I feel that it has made our Christmas' more Christ centered and meaningful.
Love watching babies when they get so excited when discovering things. Really makes one appreciate the small things. Harper is adorable and so curious...makes me so joyful to watch her 💜💙💚💛🧡
Love the singing 💕
Getting together with family is a blessing that I hope no one takes for granted.. 🙏
Absolutely beautiful! Loved following along for your the special day. The singing and worshiping Jesus was beautiful and your new house did host everyone so perfectly!! It’s absolutely beautiful. Happy new years!😊
Your home is beautiful! And she's off! Harper is crawling, where does the time go? Many voices lifted in praise is the most beautiful sound. Thanks for sharing your family Christmas with us!❤🎄
Lynnette, Thank You for sharing your holiday with us. Your home is so beautiful and your family singing is great!
I can’t believe you unpacked and decorated in such a short time. Love the new house. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
As tired as you and Nick probably still are, it's clear it's a huge relief to both of you to be in your home and not the rental. Your house is beautiful. Happy New Year!!!!
🙌🙌😍 for sure! Although the rental was a blessing for sure!
LOVE the tray you took to the boy's school program. Just beautiful!!
What a beautiful video. Everything looked so festive , I just don’t know how you pulled it all together and entertained everyone on top of just moving in and 4 little ones. You are an inspiration Lynette! I am so happy for you in your beautiful new home. I hope little Harper is feeling better, she sure is a happy little baby 💞
Such a lovely family, creating a lovely home. ❤
coldest winter we recall in Sarasota was 1987..it actually snowed on Christmas eve...i recall clearly as we took the boys outside to see the snow, and youngest wound up in the ER Christmas afternoon with pneumonia...this was the second coldest ever ...I looked for the silver lining...and checked the temps where we lived up in GA for the last 6 years before moving back...and it was 8 degrees not counting the wind chill...thankfully we kept all of our cold weather gear.

I hope you had a very happy Christmas.
The house looks beautiful! The singing sounded great too! Spending time with family is always so special!
What a lovely video!
Made me homesick for my family. Many folks don't know the traditions of the Mennonites and Amish.
Family, fellowship, food, help, singing, Jesus,and hospitality are major life points.
Pinecraft parade was shortened due to weather, but the tourists from the north could enjoy it.
Nick's company didn't participate?
Loved Jaxon conducting even with a cast.
Enjoyed the fellowship with your family and friends. Was the Amish couple close family and tourists?
I love visiting my siblings and cousins in Sarasota. Forget the beach!!
So happy your kitchen set-up flowed and worked well with all hands on deck. Hey, Kara!
Your coffee machine looked like the highlight of the kitchen.
Loved the charcuterie board. With rosemary?
Did you gift Christmas Eve? That would make sense with church Sunday morning and company coming.
The dining area was greatly planned to add more seating for guests.
I really enjoyed the Blessed singing.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful home and family with us.
The children are showing the love taught at home.1
God Bless your new home as you continue to share your thoughts and life around the world.
Greetings from GA. Karen Yoder
Thank you for sharing! I live a long way from my family and it’s nice to see a family Christmas! Loved the singing and the little director😉
What a wonderful Christmas in your beautiful new home, after all your hard work! So lovely to hear all the singing too! Congratulations to you all and may you be very happy in your new home! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧💕😊

Loved listening to all of you sing. It sounded amazing!! Love the new house 😊
Looks like you all had a wonderful Christmas. I The singing was beautiful and I love that someone read the Christmas story from the bible.
You have a very humble, decent, beautiful and hardworking family....nice.
In the 30’s! Oh how we wished here in NY. Blizzard winds caused windchills -25 F . Crazy . Many deaths. Your home and family are beautiful! 😊 Happy Holidays ❤
Love all of the family gatherings, the singing, so beautiful. Your new home decor is simple yet stunning. ❤
Your house is now your family Home it's so lovely and homely was lovely to see all your families together lovely memories 💞🙏🤗🎄🎅⛄

Same prob with Christmas tree as I have every year. 😅❤
Children and baking cookies go hand in hand. Thank you. Your home is lovely and family getting together is the best.
Thanks for sharing your family’s Christmas celebrations! I am so awed by how you were able to settle in and decorate for Christmas so quickly! Plus hosting at your house! You are amazing! I am so happy about the new house for you and your family and am looking forward to you sharing life in your new place!
Lynette, the house turned out beautiful! That kitchen is the bomb!!

Your home is beautiful. Love the green cabinets! Thanks for sharing your family gatherings. Go tell it on mountain is one of my favorite songs! Be glad you weren’t in Ohio Christmas weekend. We had several days of below zero temps and windchills at negative 20. Wind was howling and felt like roof would blow off any minute. Yikes! Happy New Year! 🎉
Y’all sure know how to make a home feel homey! Little O wrapping the grapes 🍇 was so funny 😂
😂👍🏽

We've discovered chocolate melted well in a slow cooker. That's using almond bark.
Thank you for sharing your family, church, and celebrations with us. It was lovely.
You’ve done a brilliant job, the house looks great. Loved the singing. Hope Oaklynn is feeling better and Jaxon’s arm healing well. All good wishes for 2023 from London, England.
