The best part of your video and Christmas is the absolute joy in your children. The laughing and excitement. Your children are well raised. They know about true joy and contentment. What a blessing.
I’m 77 & remember my dad, who was a Carpenter, making me some wooden stilts for my birthday when I was about 8. He also made me & my younger brother a wooden sled for one Christmas too. We seemed to get more snow in the UK in those days.😊
That was so impressive! each child opened their presents so sweetly so others could see and didn't rip into their gifts. They are happy and liked everything. What a blessed Christmas.❤🙏🏻
I make my lasagna filling with one block of cream cheese mixed well with one 16oz sour cream, a dash of garlic powder and basil and parsley… then I put some sauce down in the pan , then noodles, then spread some of the mixture, then sauce, and a sprinkle of grated parm and mozz cheese, then noodles and keep repeating. Top 0:10 with mozz and some parsley! Soooo good!
So funny to see everyone in shorts at Christmas. No shorts for awhile here in MN. Very very cold weather on the way this week a long with snow! Merry Christmas!🎄💙☀️
We have always opened one gift at a time, one person at a time. It takes forever, but that is the point. We get to see the reaction, who got what, things don't get lost in trash, and you don't spend weeks preparing to see them tear through it all in fifteen minutes. It decreases the mess and chaos. Now my six kids have families of their own, and they do the same thing. It is so pleasant. I so enjoy seeing the delight in those little faces as the gifts are opened.
Boys sizes are tough when they are transitioning from boy sizes to men sizes. My boys took awhile to get to the men’s size pants. There isn’t anything like a girls juniors dept for boys. It would nice if there was. Some brands do sell XS in certain things and the adjustable waist pants are nice too for the kids with small waists like my boys have had.
Shopping for boys gets a little tricky. American Eagle and Hollister sale pants that go down to a 26 waist. Our middle son is a 29x34. I lucked out before Christmas and found his jeans on sale. They also have xsmall tops for guys.
We unwrap 1 person at a time and it makes it last longer and you can see what people get. I hate tearing through and bring finished in 5 minutes. I got nervous seeing Nathan get in those stilts after having knee surgery a few months back. 🤪
We started doing one to two kids at a time a few years ago. I want to see the kids reactions and enjoy the moment. It’s worked well! I can’t keep him down lol! I was nervous too!
You know for lasagna sometimes substituting the ricotta with cottage cheese is a thing to do also and it seems like kids like it more too because they like the taste of cottage cheese if you get a creamy cottage cheese and put it in it and bake it like ricotta There are recipes out there that you can look up that has the substitute in it as cottage cheese something you might think about. 😊
Hope your family had a very blessed Christmas .my kids bio dad were Stat flighted to the hospital on dec.18 and placed on life support then his sister passed away Christmas eve..they are waking thier dad up a little each day but he is still not strong enough to be told about his sister.
I like cottage cheese in lasagna SO much more than ricotta. I have a teen who isn’t crazy about the ricotta so I go light with the cottage cheese and if it’s not noticeable-it’s all good. 😂
@ lost my mama Dec 16, cremation the 19th (which crushed me but financially onky option 💔memorial was 22nd and the burial of the urn will be jan 6. Emotionally I’m a wreck and the past 7 weeks have been awful with her in icu then getting out and thinking things were better and then her cognition leaving etc. then Bobby ended up in hospital with afib, the flu and pneumonia and then now Noah and I are sick. Probably way more of an answer than you wanted! Sorry we definitely need prayers. I so needed your precious video tonight.
As a mom of 3 boys, I agree, boys youth clothing is lacking. Seems like it goes from boys to young mens in most stores. Jessica your hair is beautiful, don't ever cut it super short❤
Hey! We love to get our tree every year. I try and do a fun craft at some point with the kids. And of course Christmas movie nights and seeing Christmas lights!
not many talk about the real struggles of pregnancy, but the book First-Time Blossoms by Emily Harper does, it helped me manage the journey with more peace
What a blessing it is to seeing parts of y'alls Christmas. We had a very relaxing Christmas since both my hubby and I are looking at surgery. His is next Tuesday and I go next Wednesday to meet with the surgeon for my surgery.
Jesus is Alive!!! There is power in Jesus name!!!! Praise God!!!! He was born and died for our sins!!!! He can heal and do miracles!!!! Praise Him for His Gifts!!! Merry Christmas!!!!
reading the book First-Time Blossoms by Emily Harper completely changed how i approached my pregnancy. this ebook gave me the clarity i was looking for.

That is so sweet! They definitely make Christmas so much fun!
the tips in the book First-Time Blossoms by Emily Harper are exactly what first-time moms need, itebook helped me feel so much more prepared.
Thank you for sharing, the gasps of delight as they open their presents is a joy to see (and hear) xx
It’s my favorite!
So nice to see Peyton! So pretty!
I’m 74 years old & remember walking on stilts…sometimes racing with my brother! Fun times!!!

Loved this video. Your kids were so calm and orderly opening their presents. Blessings in the New Year to your family.

We started doing that a few years ago. I didn’t like missing the kids faces! The kids now know that’s how we do things ❤️
@@FieldsFullHouse I just bet you they love it too, and will continue it in their own homes someday.
Merry Christmas Fields family!✝️🎄✨

There are some cold fronts coming through here in Mississippi that they say will also affect Florida as well.

What a beautiful site to see you on Christmas morning
Addison is Jessica's MINI ME!!
She is!
I enjoy getting my tall skinny kids clothes from target. And Once Upon a Child has kids sizes up to 14 around here I think.

We do a mixture of both.
I will definitely check that out! Thanks!
I'll second the cottage cheese!! That's what I've always used and it's perfect!@FieldsFullHouse
Sadly there is no junior boys. I've raised 5 boys and several times I wish there had been for those puberty years.
It’s frustrating! I have a hard a hard time for girls too, they all seem to hit this in between size.
Happy New Year! 🎉 ❤
Merry Christmas to you all have happy new year children had fun with gifts ❤❤
The no boundaries brand at Walmart is a junior size I believe. Over near the men’s department 👍🏻
I'll have to check that out!
Great blog!🎄
Thank you!! 😊
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Merry Christmas , ⛄🌲 it looks like you all had a great time 😀❤🦌☃️🎄
Merry Christmas! It was definitely a fun one!🎄
How did Reagan like her sewing machine? I was waiting to see her reaction.😊
I don’t think I got it on video 🤦♀️
Hope your family had a very blessed Christmas

Happy New Year to you too!
My youngest daughter got that same protector for Christmas
I use cottage cheese for lasagna.
Happy New Year
Nathan was throwing away the wrapping paper as they opened their gifts 🎁
He was! I told him to stop 😂
@FieldsFullHouse
Hahaha 🎉😮
I love watching you ❤️
@@judyberends7021 thank you!

It’s frustrating! These boys need clothes!!! Thank you! I have been having the itch to chop it off! 😂🙃
@FieldsFullHouse & that itch creeps up outta no where and itches like a mosquito bite too lol
Yup!!! I just need a good trim too, I think I’ll feel better after that. It’s been like 9 months since I had a haircut 🤦♀️
Hi girlie, can you share what types of Christmas traditions yall have? I’m looking for some new ones to add to my Christmas season.
Hey! We love to get our tree every year. I try and do a fun craft at some point with the kids. And of course Christmas movie nights and seeing Christmas lights!
I think Drew's gift of the archery set is an outside one 😂
It is! But it was fun inside for a bit
I never realized before how much your daughters look like you.
Thank you!
i wish i had the book First-Time Blossoms by Emily Harper when i was pregnant, it gave me the confidence and calm i needed for my journey
It's fun to see your kids enjoying the holiday. Happy New Year.
Thank you so much! It was a fun one!
God richly bless you and family 2025❤🙏
Thank you!
Fun gifts 😂❤

if more first-time moms read the book First-Time Blossoms by Emily Harper, pregnancy would feel a lot less overwhelming
Just Precious. STTB
