I love how Bree never forgets to wave a hi at people. It's so noble of her to recognize people's presence and she kept saying "thankyou mom" such a kind human she is👏🏾👏🏾
I loved seeing Neveah holding Bodhi at the cash register! It really shows how comfortable both of them are with each other to be able to show that affection!
@@MrBongo411 yes! And especially because he has autism. My little cousin has autism and he has a really hard time adjusting to new people much less even letting them touch him. I’m not saying that Bodhi is the same but it’s so nice to see :)
Alex carrying sleeping Harley ❤Dayshawn with two suitcases ❤ Dash, "I'll carry your backpack!" ❤ Bodhi carrying his own backpack and walking in the airport himself ❤ Bree making sure everyone heard her say "thank you" ❤ The kiddo telling the waitress, "Seeing you cry makes me happy!" ❤ Seeing all the kids genuinely enjoy Oma and Opa ❤ You have amazing kids! Thanks for sharing your trip with us!
"Dayshawn are you having fun in the American Girl Store?!" His response and him cheesing had me rolling 😂🤣😅. I'm so glad the girls got to the AG store before heading home. Alex was so cute with Harlee I feel the bond between them 🤗. It warms my heart to see Dayshawn and Nevaeh really coming out more!! Bodhi is too cute and the twins melt my heart everytime. You can tell all the kids were so appreciative of everything they got. Y'all were awesome at lunch 😌 you make my heart smile all the time. The kids are so well behaved it's so refreshing. Welcome back home. Thank you for letting us tag along on your vacation I had fun and all the memories that were made.
I was a foster kid in Alaska. My foster parents really made huge & positive impact in my life. Y’all remind me so much of them as y’all treat all the kids the same. Most kids that are in “the system” stay in the system into adulthood. I proved everyone wrong & that I mattered. I got my aeronautical engineering degree & very successful in my career traveling the world w/ the F35’s. How blessed & grateful I am to the “parents” that believed in me. I broke the cycle. OHHHHH I’ve been searching for years to find them. I finally did & it’s like we never missed a beat. ❤️ Y’all have created a safe, healthy & happy environment for each family member…..they wii go far in life. Thank you for taking us along y’all’s adventure called life. ☺️☺️
I just love James, he seems like such a good kid. All the kiddos are awesome of course, but James seems so genuinely kind. Speaks volumes of your parenting!
My goodness... Alicia and Josh, you have the biggest hearts! I especially have gotten a kick out of Bree on this trip- that non-stop smiling. You have not only given her (and all your children) security, but love and happiness as well. You are wonderful.
Alicia you give me so much strength! Everytime I say "I can't do this!" I think of you! Being a mom can be hard sometimes but you have helped me have such a different outlook on how to deal with different situations! I'm forever greatful to you!
the way the older kids care so much for the younger ones is so heart warming, dayshawn and alex must have been brothers in a past life Im so happy to see how much the kids accept and love each other
Nevaeh I love that giant dog! Id go for him too! So soft and cuddly! Looks like everyone got something special to bring home! Lots of smiles and happy memories!
"We are home."... i am mean just hearing the adoptive kids say this as soon as they landed speaks volumes of the "HOME" you have created for them... so glad.. i had tears in my eyes when I heard them say it. Awesome! God bless 😇
I love everything about your family. The kindness the show each other and outsiders. The love they show their biological siblings and the bonds they have with everyone in the family. It’s so beautiful.
honestly I never follow/watch families but I keep seeing your content on tiktok and you seem so genuine and it’s so heartwarming to see good parents actually wanting the best for their kids which is rare with online foster/adoptee families 🥺
Your kindness, generosity and humbleness does not surprise me, it’s who you are and why you are so blessed, what you did , the money you gave that sweet waitress was the most Beautiful gift, you not only enjoyed the city, spent money on your children, but you also gave, I believe when I give , God gives me more, You pretty , sweet lady with a beautiful heart …. God Bless you and your family always 🌷♥️
What a great group of kids!! They should be so proud of who they are and the joy they bring to the world. Alex and Dayshawn helping Josh with the suitcases and their patience with moving the littles from place to place, and Josh taking Alex and Dayshawn to the Nike store😁. James and his peace filled way; I hope he did ok away from Miracle for 4 days 😘 Nevaeh with the pink stuffed dog 💗💕💞and being so sweet with the other girls Bree and Patrick sitting up front on the bus and going to the front of the pack on the street - ready for a new adventure yet patient to sit with their grands Zoe confident and intrepid traveler - there’s a lot of creativity going on in her brain Dash with the helicopter hat 🚁 and exclaiming “we’re home, we’re home” Jordan and Jason - unique but always touching each other - jumping into the fountain and having such zest for life; dancing on the keyboard 👍 Bree and Jordan on the pay phones 😅😅 Bodhi keeping up with the bigs and making sure to get , saying hello to the chicken - melt my heart, but that might have been Dash!?! Harlee messing up Alex’s hair and speaking in full on sentences “mommy, will you please put on my goggles?” So many awesome moments! Thanks for bringing us along. I hope everyone sleeps well! You did great taking your family on the road and staying calm under pressure! Excellent planning to make this trip happen!
Omg Alicia, you think of everything, right down to the gum to chew to make your ears pop! You and Josh never lose your cool, never raise your voices in anger and your children are beautifully behaved. I love your parenting style, totally engaged, totally present, and you surround the family with love, what a wonderful household to be bought up in. Thank you for making these videos , I’m totally hooked on them.
Obviously the kids had an amazing trip but the excitement the younger kids had for coming home just shows how happy and safe they feel as part of your family and that's so special 💜
I just love these kiddos, the fact that the order siblings always helping their younger sisters and brothers. They all just love one another unconditionally, this speaks volume to Josh and Alisha parenting skills!! God placed this beautiful kids with amazing, wonderful, kind, caring and loving parents!!! There is a special place in Heaven for Josh and Alisha. I just love love your family ❤️
You literally had me crying. This was so nice of you giving that big tip to the waitress. For sure she did not expect that money. I really admire you and your family. You are amazing.
I remember my mom taking me to Toys 'R Us when I was about Niveah's age and she bought me a giant pink stuffed dog that looked exactly like that! This was like reliving my childhood all over again. ❤️
This holiday vlog was so enjoyable to watch. I find going on holiday with just two toddlers so stressful! you are so calm and relaxed and the kids so well behaved❤️
alicia getting hate over the matching clothes is one of the most elitist and entitled things i’ve ever heard. countless numbers of children rarely see brand new clothing for themselves. not only that but these 12 kids each got several souvenirs, nice dinners, entertainment and a vacation. many children don’t see a plane until they’re old enough to save up for their own trips. i have one sibling and an upper middle class family and i wasn’t bought new clothes and luggage for any of my vacations. these are clearly generous and loving parents who want to give their children everything they can. alicia is a beautiful soul, and she’s raising a wonderful group of kids. not to mention donating $500 to that waitress?!? and people are hating on ‘cringe’ matching BRAND NEW shirts?! shame on you.
I have just been mesmerized by your videos and how your kindness and fairness and consciousness has been passed down to your children. They way that they speak to each other and take care of each other is an absolute joy to watch. Of course, I'm sure they have their moments of conflict but you can clearly see how your calmness and levelheadedness has shaped them. What an amazing family you are! Thanks for sharing your journeys!
What a fun vacation and nothing is more relaxing than to get home, see the doggies & chickens and a dip in the pool at the Dougherty House! Thank you for taking all of us along!!
I have just really really adored these NYC videos! They have brought me so much joy. I’m so glad you get to spoil these kiddos. It’s so fun to watch their excitement. Bree’s joy at the American girl store. Dayshawn cracking me up at his lack of joy of being at the American girl store. Nevaeh’s happiness about that giant dog. Everything. Your family is incredible. I hope one day I can be as good of a mom as you
Thank you very much Dougherty's Dozen and Oma and Opa for taking us along on your New York holiday. It was lovely to see you all enjoying yourselves. I would need lots of coffee to do the trip so I am glad that you did it for me. Lovely to see the hot weather. I am in Melbourne Australia and we have the opposite seasons to you and yesterday was our coldest day of winter so far. Lots of love Karen, Peter and Rocky the kitty xxxx
Neveha dress so modest, she is so beautiful 😍 That was So kind of you all with the waitress. I waited for 40 years and never had a tip over 5.00 . And I was told I was so kind. I was I listen to thier problems not knowing their names ,but it made them feel good . I never thought of a tip but when I got one it was nice. But I can tell you I miss those people and that job , but this Lupus disease and other health problems got me . But I do get to watch you daily.
Alicia and Josh you are truly amazing parents. I only have one special needs son and sometimes I find it hard. You make it look easy. You are setting a wonderful example. Your kids are very lucky. They are very well behaved. God bless your family.
Alicia you are wonderful making sure Jordon got his corn dog was adorable all your children are a credit to you and josh looks like naveh got her pink cuddly dog all the teenagers are brilliant with the younger ones dayshawn and naveh are so comfortable now and it’s like they’ve always been part of your family your bringing up beautiful children they all have manners and you make sure they don’t forget to thank people you are making so many memories that none of them will forget ⭐️🇬🇧⭐️
What an awesome thing you did when you gave your waitress the $500. Her reaction was so sweet she had me in tears. How awesome was your trip. The kids are very lucky. I hope they remember this and realize how lucky they are. Keep up the good parenting
I cried with happiness just how wonderful you are as parents and how much the kids appreciated everything, I don’t no you personally but I love you all, it’s so good to get home, your the best 🤍🫶🏼🤍🫶🏼🤍🫶🏼🤍🫶🏼🤍🫶🏼🤍🫶🏼🤍🫶🏼
I love everything about this video. ❤️ One of my favorite things is seeing Bree's face light up in the American Girl store. Also, when you gave the waitress that cash. There needs to be more Alicia and Josh's in the world.
Bree reminds me so much of myself when I was her age. Julie was one of my favorite dolls I had! So glad you all had such a fun weekend getaway! I'm sure the kids will remember this for the rest of their lives!
I’m watching this video and started bawling 😭 You two are so good to these kids! ❤️❤️❤️ You give your lives to raise these kids. P.S. It’s Dash’s hat for me! That 🎩 is everything on that kiddo!
I know I'm not supposed to pick a favorite.... but JAMES!!!! OMG such a gentle soul. He's gonna be a great husband and dad one day! (Please wait lol) ❤️ Way to go mom!!!! Raising them ALL right! 👏 👏 👏 you are a special person 💖💝
That was awesome what you did for your waitress. It gave me a couple tears. Glad to see that everyone had fun and enjoyed them selfs. I have seen the lion king 2 times now and i can not wait to see it again. I enjoy your videos very much . and i love that saying you guys have. It makes me smile every time. Right now i have been out of work since march and now i am fighting with short term disability about payment and they keep sending the paperwork to the wrong dr. Its bad enough they owe me for 9 weeks. it has not been easy but i like to watch your videos because they do make my day and make me smile
WOW! What an extraordinary mother you are, ensuring that each child has a good time on vacation. You have my utmost respect! Keep up the fantastic job you are doing with and for your family. I enjoyed seeing and hearing every day of your trip. Wow...just wow!
I live on 42nd and 9th Ave. when I saw your whole bunch in my hood I was soooo sad 😢 I didn't pass by you guys! You are a truly pure good human with soooo much sincerity!
Loved Dayshawn doing the ending sayings! And you’re right, teens will find a way because I did 🤣 being able to be open and honest is the best way! I hope to be as good of a mom as you are some day!
So need to take the teenagers out to dinner with the parents. It would be so fun because they make smile. I am glad you melted for the stuff animal, she made my heart melt. Hug them daily because every mom needs the love from their babies.
This family is amazing. 💖 Neveah and Dayshawn have settled in so well and with all my heart this family is truly just so precious. Both parents in this family are so caring and have such a big heart, no matter what. I could see from the start that Dayshawn was quite shy but now seeing him in some of the other nyc videos he’s improved so much now and is more smiley and coming out of his shell! and same for Neveah. I hope God gives you guys everything you pray/wish for and just another big Thank you for what you have been doing for these lovely, beautiful kids 💞💖💗
Okay, I so want to go to the American Girl Store! That was sweet with the young waitress; her face was so surprised and happy, Alicia. You and Josh are so organized and I continue to be impressed by how patient, chill and good natured y’all all are. The older children are really sweet and helpful to each other especially with the little kids. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the NYC vlogs and I want to be an honorary Dougherty the next time y’all go there or another cool city, lol. Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us.
How lovely was that vlog🥰loved seeing bree buying her doll and neveah buying her large cuddly toy so sweet💕it's been a great 4 days thanks Alicia 🥰and so kind with the waitress
I love that Nevaha (sorry if I spelled it wrong) is finally comfortable asking for things. I love that all the kids will always remember these vacations
What a fantastic trip! So much fun. That was so sweet to give that waitress that money. I'm sure you totally made her year with that. Thank you so much for sharing everything with us. It was so cool to see the inside of the FAO toy store. You guys are amazing parents.
Over this video, the kids were so well behaved on this trip. They seemed so happy and giving the waitress a suprise was amazing. Great job!!!!! Love it al❤❤❤
I'm so glad I've found you guys. The way you treat other people reminds me of how my grandpa used to refer to others. And that's now how we behave too. What you did for that waitress was really thoughtful and It's so nice to see the kids learning those ethics too. Wish you all the best!
What an awesome trip you made with your children! And to teach them compassion for others! The waitress was so worthy! She was so happy! James was awesome helping his sibling's! You two are awesome!
Those kids are the luckiest kids in the world i wonder if they realize just how blessed they are to have a mom like alicia and a dad like josh very very blessed and loved each one❤ my mom only had two of us we never got attention like that you can tell alicia took the time to get to know each of her children and gives each attention it amazes me!!!!!
I love how Neveah and Dayshawn have integrated into the family. It’s a real testament to your parenting and family dynamic. 😊💞
🥰🥰🥰
I love how Bree never forgets to wave a hi at people. It's so noble of her to recognize people's presence and she kept saying "thankyou mom" such a kind human she is👏🏾👏🏾
It really looks like Neveah is really coming out of her shell. Her and Dayshawn are absolutely precious.
🧡🧡🧡
I second that!!!
I loved seeing Neveah holding Bodhi at the cash register! It really shows how comfortable both of them are with each other to be able to show that affection!
@@MrBongo411 yes! And especially because he has autism. My little cousin has autism and he has a really hard time adjusting to new people much less even letting them touch him. I’m not saying that Bodhi is the same but it’s so nice to see :)
Neveah has a beautiful smile .
James just seems like the kindest soul ever. Seeing him interacting and looking after everyone is just so so sweet 🤍
I agree. He has an old soul.
Alex carrying sleeping Harley ❤Dayshawn with two suitcases ❤ Dash, "I'll carry your backpack!" ❤ Bodhi carrying his own backpack and walking in the airport himself ❤ Bree making sure everyone heard her say "thank you" ❤ The kiddo telling the waitress, "Seeing you cry makes me happy!" ❤ Seeing all the kids genuinely enjoy Oma and Opa ❤ You have amazing kids!

Janes I meant not Alex in the AG store.
James*
Bree and Patrick really melts my heart whenever I see them. Extremely thoughtful kids ☺️
They have the most delightful smiles, so full of joy 🥰
I like how they’re very close. I hope it stays that way for them
Yes I totally agree, there smiles are so infectious, I find my self smiling unknowingly when I see them smile 😃 😊
same for me, watching a Bree in the american girl doll brought me to tears. Pure happiness ❤️
They have a good energy for sure.🥰
I was a foster kid in Alaska. My foster parents really made huge & positive impact in my life.
Y’all remind me so much of them as y’all treat all the kids the same.
Most kids that are in “the system” stay in the system into adulthood.
I proved everyone wrong & that I mattered.
I got my aeronautical engineering degree & very successful in my career traveling the world w/ the F35’s.
How blessed & grateful I am to the “parents” that believed in me. I broke the cycle.
OHHHHH I’ve been searching for years to find them. I finally did & it’s like we never missed a beat. ❤️
Y’all have created a safe, healthy & happy environment for each family member…..they wii go far in life.
Thank you for taking us along y’all’s adventure called life. ☺️☺️
I just love James, he seems like such a good kid. All the kiddos are awesome of course, but James seems so genuinely kind. Speaks volumes of your parenting!
James is such a good big brother. He is a kind soul. And Bree’s smile. ❤️❤️
My goodness... Alicia and Josh, you have the biggest hearts! I especially have gotten a kick out of Bree on this trip- that non-stop smiling. You have not only given her (and all your children) security, but love and happiness as well. You are wonderful.
I don't know what it is about Patrick but he's so adorable. He has the greatest smile. Good job on all of your children. You are surely blessed.
Alicia you give me so much strength! Everytime I say "I can't do this!" I think of you! Being a mom can be hard sometimes but you have helped me have such a different outlook on how to deal with different situations! I'm forever greatful to you!
Amazing! You Got This Mama!
@@DoughertyDozen thank you so much!
the way the older kids care so much for the younger ones is so heart warming, dayshawn and alex must have been brothers in a past life Im so happy to see how much the kids accept and love each other
Dash’s hat was legit made for him. I love that he personally picked that out
Bree and Patrick always seem so thankful for everything and they always remember to say "thank you"
Alex and James are such treasures...as a mom of a 15 almost 16 year old who is also a sweet little guy I need to point this out..
Nevaeh I love that giant dog! Id go for him too! So soft and cuddly! Looks like everyone got something special to bring home! Lots of smiles and happy memories!
Harley's little feet kicking at the words "horse dolls" was too cute!
Thank to her personal shopper James 🤣

James Is gonna be a good father to his little future baby

Your kindness, generosity and humbleness does not surprise me, it’s who you are and why you are so blessed, what you did , the money you gave that sweet waitress was the most

Wow. You kept everyone well fed, well entertained and didn't lose anyone 😍 Thanks for taking us on this fun adventure. Get some rest guys 😁
Obviously the kids had an amazing trip but the excitement the younger kids had for coming home just shows how happy and safe they feel as part of your family and that's so special 💜

Bravo for the organization for air travel, bus travel, hotel and sightseeing for 16 people! So impressive! 👏
The feeling of coming home after a trip is really nice. After all the nonstop action, it’s good to relax.
I remember my mom taking me to Toys 'R Us when I was about Niveah's age and she bought me a giant pink stuffed dog that looked exactly like that! This was like reliving my childhood all over again. ❤️

I love how James is showing Harlee all the dolls and options. You have raised wonderful and beautiful kids

Julie is beautiful!

I live on 42nd and 9th Ave. when I saw your whole bunch in my hood I was soooo sad 😢 I didn't pass by you guys! You are a truly pure good human with soooo much sincerity!
I am battling to find the words to describe that moment when you gave the waitress that tip. May you and your loved ones be eternally blessed. ♥️🥰🙏
30:35 Is such a cute moment of Alex holding Harlee that's so cute!!!!
I love all your kids but Bree is such a sweetie the joy she gets out of everything melts my heart ❤
Such great kids an absolute credit to you both . It was so humble giving the waitress the 500 dollars, ye constantly bless people xx
You have no idea how heartwarming and healing it is to watch these vlogs. 💜💕
Loved Dayshawn doing the ending sayings! And you’re right, teens will find a way because I did 🤣 being able to be open and honest is the best way! I hope to be as good of a mom as you are some day!
So need to take the teenagers out to dinner with the parents. It would be so fun because they make smile. I am glad you melted for the stuff animal, she made my heart melt. Hug them daily because every mom needs the love from their babies.
This family is amazing. 💖 Neveah and Dayshawn have settled in so well and with all my heart this family is truly just so precious. Both parents in this family are so caring and have such a big heart, no matter what. I could see from the start that Dayshawn was quite shy but now seeing him in some of the other nyc videos he’s improved so much now and is more smiley and coming out of his shell! and same for Neveah. I hope God gives you guys everything you pray/wish for and just another big Thank you for what you have been doing for these lovely, beautiful kids 💞💖💗
Okay, I so want to go to the American Girl Store! That was sweet with the young waitress; her face was so surprised and happy, Alicia. You and Josh are so organized and I continue to be impressed by how patient, chill and good natured y’all all are. The older children are really sweet and helpful to each other especially with the little kids. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the NYC vlogs and I want to be an honorary Dougherty the next time y’all go there or another cool city, lol. Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us.
How lovely was that vlog🥰loved seeing bree buying her doll and neveah buying her large cuddly toy so sweet💕it's been a great 4 days thanks Alicia 🥰and so kind with the waitress
26:06 dayshawn walked over zoey's legs and the first thing he cares about is the crease in his shoes he's so funny ahahahaa
Bree jumping up and down and thanking you made me wanna cry :,)
I love that Nevaha (sorry if I spelled it wrong) is finally comfortable asking for things. I love that all the kids will always remember these vacations
It's heaven backwards.

Yay for Bree and Harley , that they got to go to American Girl Doll store . The twins are adorable on the piano .They are all precious.♥️
All the kids are amazing but James is just an absolute angel he truly is an wonderful young man ❤️
James just warms my heart.
Your children are incredibly beautiful. On the inside and the outside.
What a fantastic trip! So much fun. That was so sweet to give that waitress that money. I'm sure you totally made her year with that. Thank you so much for sharing everything with us. It was so cool to see the inside of the FAO toy store. You guys are amazing parents.
Bree looks a "little " excited to get Julie!! 🥰🥰
It takes a lot of organization and patience to vacation with so many children. You guys are amazing! Glad you arrived home safely.
James is so sweet and helpful showing his baby sister all around
Over this video, the kids were so well behaved on this trip. They seemed so happy and giving the waitress a suprise was amazing. Great job!!!!! Love it al❤❤❤
I'm so glad I've found you guys. The way you treat other people reminds me of how my grandpa used to refer to others. And that's now how we behave too. What you did for that waitress was really thoughtful and It's so nice to see the kids learning those ethics too. Wish you all the best!
What an awesome trip you made with your children! And to teach them compassion for others! The waitress was so worthy! She was so happy! James was awesome helping his sibling's! You two are awesome!
Those kids are the luckiest kids in the world i wonder if they realize just how blessed they are to have a mom like alicia and a dad like josh very very blessed and loved each one❤ my mom only had two of us we never got attention like that you can tell alicia took the time to get to know each of her children and gives each attention it amazes me!!!!!
I love how James Alex and Neveah are helping the littles
Very thoughtful of what you did for your waitress. God bless you all.
