I cried through this whole video! I’m 75…raised 3 sons and 1 daughter…your Christmas so reminded me of ours when the kids were young. Such wonderful, sweet memories! Thank you for sharing your family with us!❤
Lauren…god bless you and your lovely family. I felt your pain and my heart ached. Violet is alive because of your strength and love and Maggie stayed as long as she could to save her sister. What a wonderful family. Bless you all. Mary
Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves, ebbing and flowing and Maggie's spirit flows all around the beautiful family. Such strength your beautiful family have. God bless
What a beautiful family you all are. This Christmas I was determined to make it special for my husband as this may be his last. Ron is very ill and at this time is in hospital. Today he was put on oxygen and I pray that he is with us for a long time but sadly I do not think he will be. So hug you family and enjoy every moment you have them with you.
Boy I tell you if anyone tries messing with their sister they better watch out 😂 The way they interact with her is so wonderful they love her so much🥰 great job mom and dad for raising such great boys🥰
Looking at your Christmas help me get through mine as three of my children live out of state, and my husband passed away with Alzheimer’s so I wasn’t going to put up a tree but my oldest son told me to put the tree up and as you’re looking at it mom think of all the beautiful memories we all had growing up. Your Christmas help me get through this year I am 83 and I know my children love me very much but just couldn’t make it home for the holidays so watching you and your children that was just wonderful God bless you and your family and keep these amazing videos coming of your beautiful family
Dear Lauren, your love for your family is so strong, your children are beautiful souls, and your heavenly daughter Magnolia has a special place in all your hearts. Especially at this time of year. My firstborn arrived the day after my beloved grandmother passed away. Unbeknown to me. My poor mother wanted to protect me and my child. Mothers are so strong when it comes to their children. Your inner strength got you through the day and your faith helped you in your quiet time. I wept with you and wanted to send you some love. Take care and God Bless.
Thank you for sharing your christmas morning with us. What sweet tender day. I am sure there was lots of emotions and joy during this sweet time. Maggie and violet are lucky to have such a strong mom. Maggie is your guardian angel this Christmas morning.
Maggie is loved and remembered across the world. And always in your heart and that of your lovely family. Violet is growing up to be such a beautiful happy little girl and its a priviledge to see it! Thank you for sharing your days with us. Much love and light in 2025!
The grief you allow to experience in those quiet moments are also what allows you to experience the laughter and everyday family life. I admire greatly how you handle all of it including being strong enough to also be able to help the family cope with their own grief. It is incredibily inspirational to see the bond you all have together and to see a father so involved with his kids at every opportunity. Thank you for sharing your family life with all of us. What a joy. 😊
I love the way the boys light up and call to each other as they open their gifts. They are excited and want to share the moment. Violet enjoyed the paper and boxes as much as the gifts. While it is all bittersweet with the loss of Maggie, it can still be beautiful. Grief is a weird thing. You can be happy with things going on even while you hurt so deeply. It literally is one moment at a time. You are so much stronger than you know or even want to be. You are an amazing mom, wife and person. Wishing you a New Year filled with peace, love, joy and the precious memory of Maggie.
Maggie will never be forgotten and violet’s able to make the best out of the situation you have faced. I’m glad you could just be present Luna loves comforting you she knows when you need her. My cat would meow and hang around being upset. All you can do is breathe violet is now 1 can’t wait for the hair and her walking. Best wishes
So grateful you shared your wonderful Christmas with us Your children are so kind and caring towards one another- Hunter is so encouraging with his brothers, Bennett so loving with Violet, Weston looking at you with such love and gratitude when he opened the hat he wanted and Everett making everyone so joyful w his dancing How special to see Christmas Day with your family It makes me tender as I remember Christmas gone by with my four who are now all in their 20’s I am so happy for you that you were able to cherish this time and I am crying right along with you as you continue to move through the grief for your precious angel Maggie Merry Christmas Hamm family and sending lots of love for the New Year from my family to yours ❤
❤❤❤❤❤u r amazing this is beautiful. Thank u for sharing I. Love to follow your family your family puts a smile on my face all the time thank u this r beautiful moment I will keep watch and enjoying
A beautiful season of celebrating our savior and the twins. You all deserved this! It’s easy to see that Violet trusts you all to show her the way. She’s already so smart and teachable. Tiny but mighty.
A beautiful Christmas. I've told you before I lost my 4th son Chad he was 6 months old . Sweetie that was 40 yrs ago and every birthday, every anniversary of his death and Christmas I honor him in my heart and speak of him. Your children are all beautiful and so are you. Maggie will always be remembered. God Bless you all and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. Blessings from Buford, GA 🍑
I love how your children are so happy, grateful and appreciative of everything. You and Mark are doing such an amazing job raising them. Maggie will always be in our hearts. Never will be forgotten. Happy New Year to you all. ❤
I can not even imagine how cool little violet is going to be when she is older..with 4 older brothers and you and your husband😳❤️…you guys are such an amazing family !!
I cried too before going to bed on Christmas and New Year's. It was very cathartic and such a relief 😮💨 to let go of the old and begin anew in 2025. God bless Us All this year to come. ❤🎉🙏✨🌹.
It's always so fun when you're able to truly surprise your kids with a gift they never thought they'd get! It was so sweet to watch the boys' excitement as they got all their new snow boards and gear. And watching Violet have fun just playing with paper and the box was so cute! You are blessed with a beautiful family Lauren. I hope you have a wonderful new year!
What a beautiful Christmas and so lovely to see the boys enjoying their gifts. What wonderful young men they are. Little Miss Violet is so precious and so sweet with her beautiful big smile. Lauren and Mark you are wonderful parents to all of your children. Thinking of little Maggie on her special day also. Every good wishes for the New.Year fro Ireland 🇮🇪.
Thank you for sharing your Christmas with us. You’re raising amazing, thoughtful and loving children. I love seeing your boys with Violet. Precious Maggie was there watching over you all. God bless you all. ❤
This is the most beautiful family in the whole world. I love you guys. I wish I could’ve been there to see them open all the gifts. That’s the best part. I’d like to see the excitement the magic.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a wonderful video! This reminded me SO much of when my 9 kids were all youngsters. I’m 81 and I smiled all the while. Maggie will ALWAYS be remembered……I have lost 2 of my 9, (as adults) and have lost 4 grandchildren. Thank the Good Lord for His abundance of comfort that He gives us. I could not survive without it, and His love. Thank you for sharing this precious video. Bev in Maine
Every year we go to "Light a candle" in remembrance of people/friends/family we think of at Christmas who can't be here and we added one for Maggie. She will never be forgotten. Thank you for letting us be apart of your special Christmas ❤
Loved how appreciative the.boys were for their gifts. The scavenger hunt was awesome idea, how it’s not your last one! You guys are really special. I had a sad Christmas in some ways. My family is all gone except my hubby. Never had children but do have two step grands who are teens. They made it special. Money was tight but made the best of that. The memories of the past were bittersweet. Lauren, thanks for helping me remember Christmas at my childhood.
Merry Christmas and it looks like fun to be at your house. Violet started understanding that something fun is in the wrapper. The kids are getting so big. Thank you for sharing. What a beautiful time together. Happy birthday Jesus.
We love you Lauren Thank you for sharing your wonderful family moment Maggie will never be forgotten ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🇨🇦 You are so blessed Luna too 💋 Happy New Year 🥳🥳🌈🌞
I never thought I would face Christmas without a loved one present like you. My husband passed away 8 weeks ago at 58 years old from a very nasty, fast, aggressive, non-curable cancer that turned my world upside down. It was weird, with parts of the day with our grown children, husbands, and grandson, which were magical. Then, at the next corner, I was hit with heavy sadness as there was a missing link: Dave. Love from New Zealand 💕
@@andreaarmstrong7543 I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s been three years since I lost my husband to cancer at 62. I still miss him everyday. Prayers to you
We are so sorry to hear of your husband’s passing. I can only imagine how hard life has been with that pain and then having Christmas. Sending you love and prayers. The missing link hits so close to my heart. Thanks for sharing about Dave.
Happy New Year. You have such amazing children. Christmas morning says a lot about the kids people raise. They were just as excited about the socks and gloves as they were about the boards. Always saying nice things about each gift and many thank you's too. I know some days are harder than others and I am sorry for that. I lost one of my close friends on the 2nd. Just remember how blessed you all are to have one another and sharing the love, which I know you do. Happy 1st birthday to Violet and Maggie. xo
Even your ending to your video was perfect and priceless for ALL of us who have walked through this year with all of you‼️. MANY HUGS and MUCH LOVE to each of you‼️👍😊❤️
I'm thinking of u Lauren. We will never forget magi .I've been crying remember you are all in my heart. Happy 1st birthday to Ms violet ❤❤❤❤❤ lot of love xx
What a wonderful family Christmas. I got overwhelmed with the thoughtful gifts and joy of your boys and how much love flows into sweet Violet. Thank you for sharing.
Merry Christmas beautiful family ❤ Lauren you are an exceptional mother. Your love for your family is incredible (same for Mark) You guys are wonderful parents to the most amazing kids. Many blessings to your family. ❤
Just such a beautiful day. You’re so very gracious to share it with us. The process of grief is SO unexpected…..so glad you gave yourself time with Maggie and the tree and the Lord on Christmas Eve. And then focusing on being joyfully present with your family was such a blessing. Sending blessings for a wonderful New Year. 🙏🏻❤️
I cried and I cried hard, I had a rough Christmas the first without my 2 big sisters who both died suddenly this summer past and watching your beautiful family smile, laugh, do treasure hunts for a brother gift. The excitement and energy in your living room was wonderful and I want to thank you for sharing your wonderful family with us Lauren & Mark. Even the excitement and joy on your faces made everything wonderful & Little Miss Violet with her paper and boxes was sheer joy. I did have a few candles lit for some teeny beloveds of yours and ours who aren’t with us and they were not forgotten they hold a huge space in our hearts and always will. I want to wish you all a very happy new year. With love from Scotland 🏴 LANG MAY YER LUM REEK Much love Isabella, David & Stanley 🐾🐾
Your Christmas was so beautiful shared with family and friends. It looked liked every one had fun with all the festivities. I'm so glad little Luna wasn't forgotten with all the noise and shuffling around of presents, it's probably pretty scary for her. When you picked her up at the end and gave her attention and loving, it just melted my heart, the most wonderful cat of all and a true family member.
Merry Christmas Lauren. What a special time you all had. Sending my love at this time when even in the times of joy there is heartache. Your precious Maggie won't be forgotten. The special mementos that you have established are precious and very touching and I know that through the years the children will look back on these. And happy birthday to Miss Violet. Bless you all. XX
Now that was a fun video!! I enjoyed watching the kids open their gifts , seeing the surprise on their faces , watching Everett dance to his Christmas card 😂, seeing Violet opening her first Christmas gifts!! Thanks for sharing your family with us i enjoyed it!! Also cried with you at the end , Maggie will never be forgotten ❤❤
Lauren, I can tell you from experience that you will never forget Magnolia. Nearly 48 years ago I lost my 21 month old son to bacterial meningitis and I still think of him often. The tears do still flow, but not as frequently. From one mother to another, you will be in my prayers throughout the year.
What a precious Christmas morning. So enjoyed sitting back and watching in awe as each one opened gifts with wide eyed anticipation. You could tell how excited the boys were. Loved your new furniture and your hair styler from Mark. Nice weather station for Mark, that will get a work out in the next few weeks. Miss Luna looked so cute under the tree. I think Violet enjoyed her first Christmas 🎄 very much. Thank you Lauren for sharing your sweet family with us. Precious Maggie is watching from above 😇
Thank you for sharing your christmas with us. With Every gift the boys received it was received with such a great full heart. So wonderful to see. I Loved the look of your gift Lauren, hope it works well. Here's wishing you and your wonderful family a very blessed 2025. ❤
Hugs to you Lauren, the loss of Maggie was devastating. I am glad you got the quiet time you needed to reflect and heal. it was so thoughtful of Mark to get you the hair tool kit, I know you wanted that, let us know how you like it. Everett’s dance moves are the bomb😅
Thank you so much for sharing your Christmas with us. Your family is a credit to you both. It is so lovely to see children happy and so caring with each other. God Bless you all and especially your angel in heaven ❤.
Such a great Christmas haul. Mark did good job with the hair set, you will have to let us know how it is. I’ve seen those at Costco as well. Thanks for sharing your Christmas. You have such a beautiful family. The boys are so thoughtful! Just love them! Violet is the princess of the crew for sure. All the boys seem to love her and interact with her so well!
I absolutely LOVED your Christmas video‼️‼️‼️👍😊 Thank you for making it and sharing it with us‼️Love you all sooooo much‼️ It was a ROUGH YEAR ‼️Soooo thankful for ALL the love for each other and God that continues to bond you all together‼️And the JOY of precious Violet and memories of sweet Maggie complete our hearts for all of you this Christmas‼️😊👍❤️
Maggie will never be forgotten. I'll aways keep her in my prayers with my grandson Julian who was born sleeping 12/31/2016. Always an angel watching from up above. What a wonderful day for your family. Can't wait to see Violet's first birthday! Happy Holidays!
What a fun time, it was like being with your family. Tell the boys thanks for sharing the day . Bennet and Violet in the sleeping bag was awesome. Everyone was so happy with there gifts. Love Hunters cap on him. Both hats were so cute on them.
Merry Christmas. Maggie will always be in our hearts. The boys are so gracious you and Mark are incredible parents. I loved watching Violet enjoy the paper, so adorable. Be blessed
Hi, Lauren Magnolia will never ever be forgotten. I loved watching this video. Made me cry.Everyone was so happy. . Hope you all have a Happy New Year.
You have such a sweet family. I'm a silent viewer, but I lost my husband 9/15/2024. I know smiles are harder during celebratory times. God bless your family.
I miss those special Christmas mornings with my girls. They are all grown now and one has a little boy. He will be 2 years old in May. I loved watching your family opening gifts. Thank you.

Teary eyed. Love your family. Happy Birthday little one.
Yeah I know. My mother gave birth to (1960s) a child who died (club foot, spina bifida, etc . The doctors told her to get pregnant immediately.
Maggie will never be forgotten! So glad you had a good family Christmas! Everyone understands the pain you went thru and we are all here for you!

Your Christmas was so beautiful shared with family and friends. It looked liked every one had fun with all the festivities. I'm so glad little Luna wasn't forgotten with all the noise and shuffling around of presents, it's probably pretty scary for her. When you picked her up at the end and gave her attention and loving, it just melted my heart, the most wonderful cat of all and a true family member.
Love how they just thanked mom for their gifts
Wonderful video so fun to watch the boys. Enjoy their gifts hello Luna, merry Christmas.❤
I love how they got a random piece of fruit and loved it XD
Merry Christmas Lauren. What a special time you all had. Sending my love at this time when even in the times of joy there is heartache. Your precious Maggie won't be forgotten. The special mementos that you have established are precious and very touching and I know that through the years the children will look back on these. And happy birthday to Miss Violet. Bless you all.

Now that was a fun video!! I enjoyed watching the kids open their gifts , seeing the surprise on their faces , watching Everett dance to his Christmas card 😂, seeing Violet opening her first Christmas gifts!! Thanks for sharing your family with us i enjoyed it!! Also cried with you at the end , Maggie will never be forgotten ❤❤
Lauren, I can tell you from experience that you will never forget Magnolia. Nearly 48 years ago I lost my 21 month old son to bacterial meningitis and I still think of him often. The tears do still flow, but not as frequently. From one mother to another, you will be in my prayers throughout the year.
Hugs, so very true, 35yrs since I lost my son and you do move on and it hurts a little less, but they are never forgotten.
Happy New Year to You and your Sweet Family. Thank You for sharing your Christmas Day with us. You have such a sweet and thoughtful Family.
What a precious Christmas morning. So enjoyed sitting back and watching in awe as each one opened gifts with wide eyed anticipation. You could tell how excited the boys were. Loved your new furniture and your hair styler from Mark. Nice weather station for Mark, that will get a work out in the next few weeks. Miss Luna looked so cute under the tree. I think Violet enjoyed her first Christmas 🎄 very much. Thank you Lauren for sharing your sweet family with us. Precious Maggie is watching from above 😇

Hugs to you Lauren, the loss of Maggie was devastating. I am glad you got the quiet time you needed to reflect and heal. it was so thoughtful of Mark to get you the hair tool kit, I know you wanted that, let us know how you like it. Everett’s dance moves are the bomb😅
