- [Man] I don't know, let's take a look.
00:02
- [Man] What are you scared of?
00:05
- [Boy] Coming close.
00:06
- [Little Girl] I'm not scared of it.
00:09
(gun shooting sounds)
00:20
- [Man] Watcha doin'?
00:26
(gun shooting sounds)
00:28
- [Woman] Look at the cards Laura.
00:40
Which ones you like?
00:41
- The pink sprinkly one.
00:42
My birthday present. That's my birthday.
00:46
They write my name on this?
00:48
- [Woman] No, that says,
"Merry" like Merry Christmas.
00:50
- [Woman] Yep, do you like it?
00:55
It's got all these sprinkles on it.
00:57
- [Woman] It is really cool.
01:01
Well I have told you
guys that I am working
01:03
on getting ready for Christmas
01:05
and my goal is to be all ready
01:07
for Christmas by Thanksgiving.
01:08
And so one of those things I need to do
01:09
is get the Christmas cards ready
01:11
for all those wonderful
people in our lives.
01:12
So we just got a bunch of awesome cards
01:15
from Hallmark Signature and I'm excited
01:17
to show them to the kids and let them
01:18
help me pick out who they should go to.
01:20
Guys, there's real bells in here.
01:22
- [Woman] Interesting Jingle Bells.
01:25
♫ Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
01:27
♫ Jingle all the way
01:29
♫ Oh what fun it is to ride
01:31
♫ On a one horse open sleigh, hey
01:32
- These are not ordinary cards.
01:34
These have ornaments on them
01:35
and just the embellishments are gorgeous.
01:37
- Chugga, chugga, choo, choo.
01:39
- [Man] Chugga, chugga, chugga,
01:42
chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga.
01:43
- [Man] Choo, choo.
01:45
- Well, we're really grateful because
01:48
today's video is sponsored
by Hallmark Signature
01:49
and they sent us these amazing
Hallmark Signature cards.
01:51
- [Man] So you guys see this snowman here?
01:53
- [Man] That's an ornament.
01:56
A Christmas tree ornament.
01:58
So another one that's an ornament
02:00
is this on right here where
it says, "Peace on Earth."
02:01
- Well, I think papa and
grandma would like that one.
02:04
- I like that one more.
02:09
Peace on earth and in your heart.
02:10
- We got to spend a lot
of time with my parents,
02:14
grandma and poppa this year
02:16
and it was a really significant time
02:17
because with the time
that we spent with them,
02:19
they were really focusing on our kids,
02:21
on teaching them, on loving
them, on being with them.
02:23
And just in the last month or two,
02:26
we got to go and spend a whole week
02:28
at my parents cabin with them.
02:30
And just the memories
that were made there.
02:32
We had the internet off,
the TV wasn't around,
02:34
and we got to build and create
and bake and read and play.
02:38
And my parents shared
stories from their childhood
02:42
and stories of their
parents with my children.
02:46
So seeing the passion and the love
02:48
and the heritage that they're passing
02:50
on to my children is just so tender to me.
02:52
I am so blessed to have them in my life
02:55
and it's hard we don't live near them
02:56
and so we're not going to get to be
02:58
with them this Christmas.
03:00
And so, we definitely want
03:01
to send them a card and send them our love
03:02
and just let them know how much
03:05
we're thinking of them and just how
03:06
extraordinary they are in our lives.
03:08
- There's a link in the description box
03:10

Hallmark Cards are sold
03:13
- [Woman] Laura, did you write your name?
03:17
- [Woman] Yeah, you sure did.
03:20
Okay, mommy's turn to sign it.
03:21
I looked through these cards
03:23
and I narrowed it down
to my top five favorites.
03:24
So I'm going to put
them up here in the poll
03:27
so you guys can vote and tell us
03:28

03:29
Peace on Earth with the ornament,
03:31
the Jingle Bells card, the train
03:33
the gorgeous Christmas presents
03:36
or the one with the
sprinkles that reminds me
03:37
of making Christmas cookies with my mom.
03:39
- Okay we're heading off to church.
03:41
Oh Laura, I like your bow.
03:46
- This is one of my teddy bears.
03:54
- See, look at my teddy bear.
04:00
Did you take a picture of your teddy bear?
04:02
- [Man] Did you guys have fun at church?
04:22
- [Girl] Yeah and me.
04:23
- [Man] What did you
learn about at church?
04:25
- I learned about, basically songs.
04:26
- [Man] You sang some songs?
04:30
- I learned about service.
04:32
- I learned about saying thank you.
04:34
- [Man] Laura, what'd you
learn about at church?
04:38
- [Man] Did you eat some snacks?
04:41
You are a lucky, lucky soul.
04:44
- So this afternoon,
I am not feeling good.
04:45
All that sounded good to me was
04:48
to take a warm shower and
now I'm just exhausted
04:49
and I think I'm getting what Kaleb had.
04:53
I have a headache and a sore throat
04:55
and I'm just tired.
04:56
So luckily, Jeremy is going
to hang out with the kids
04:58
And I feel like on Facebook
and Instagram and Twitter,
05:02
I feel like all my friends are saying
05:04
that they're sick and even people
05:06
in other parts of the country.
05:08
It's like, "Oh no, our family's sick."
05:09
It's just that time of year.
05:11
So, in the comment, have you been struck
05:12
with sickness yet this season?
05:15
Let us know, it's lame.
05:16
But as far as sicknesses go,
05:18
this one's, actually, pretty mild.
05:19
It's just fever, a
headache, a sore throat.
05:21
I'm not dying or anything.
05:23
- I figured out how to move.
05:27
- [Man] They should turn this
05:32
into an Olympic sport.
05:33
You really get your arms into it.
05:38
So we've had a super busy week.
05:54
And every day, the trash,
I know needs to go out
05:56
but I keep just putting it off.
05:59
And I'll push down all of this stuff
06:00
and start making piles on top of it.
06:02
This has just gotten out of hand.
06:06
- So, Kaleb wanted to learn more players
06:08
and so I made a line
of just players in here
06:11
and I'd say the name and
then he would say the name.
06:17
- [Man] You writing down
the names of the players?
06:22
- [Man] It's time to wake up big girl.
06:31
It's time to get up.
06:32
- Guys, stay with us.
06:42
I tell the kids that stay with us.
06:45
- So right after Laura's nap,
06:47
she wasn't really feeling like walking
06:48
so I got the stroller out for her.
06:49
- And here comes Laura.
07:01
- [Girl] Yeah, that's a bobcat.
07:07
- [Boy] That's huge.
07:08
- [Man] What are you scared of?
07:12
- [Boy] Coming close.
07:13
- [Laura] I'm not scared of it.
07:16
- [Man] I don't know you guys.
07:18
I think that's just a cat.
07:19
- Yep, it just looks like a cat.
07:20
- [Man] So it's not dangerous?
07:22
- [Man] Alright, we're good.
07:24
- [Boy] You can come down everyone.
07:25
- [Man] Did you want the kitty?
07:34
- Yeah, can you get her?
07:36
- [Man] Oh, I think the kitty went off.
07:37
- [Girl] The kitty's scary, kind of.
07:39
- [Man] You need to get her?
07:43
What are you gonna do with the kitty?
07:47
- [Man] You're gonna grab
the kitty on her throat?
07:59
(kids playing in the background)
08:19
- Come on you guys, it's time to go.
08:26
- [Girl] He's ready, he's ready.
08:27
- [Laura] Goodnight. J. House out.
08:37
- [Woman] That's a scary beast.
08:46
