There is not a Bates that is not absolutely gorgeous. They are so respectful and always put God first. They also have gorgeous spouses and children. I love watching each one of them that has videos. Kelly and Gil are also, as their kids are beautiful on the inside. If the world had more families like the Bates what a wonderful Godly world this would be. Thanks Trace and Lydia for giving us a glimpse into your precious life. Take care of the sweet and beautiful baby boy Ryker! May 2024 bring you so much joy and happiness!
The Bates should have had more seasons; and should have been on TLC. Not the Duggars!!! I wonder how this family feels about the Duggars and the crap that was exposed by the kids. Thembeing family friends and all... Totally off subject, but as I watch the Bates family it's hard not to remember the old episodes of their families hanging out...
Right! I’ve never seen an entire family be as good looking as the bates usually there is a few people in a family that are unfortunate looking but not the bates they are all very good looking ! lol and the spouses too all very attractive!
I compete in this competition! It was so cool to see my piece on your TH-cam channel. Such a fun event and so fun for us as competitiors to see so many enjoying our hours of work on display.
Trace and Lydia are forevermore parents to the little boy known as Chips! I wish more people would be born into Christian families because the world deserves more loving people ❤
I 💕 little Ryker. He is the best baby. Thanks for sharing the farm with us. I love Poppa Bill and Mama Jane so much. I pray for them often. You Dad make me cry lightening the candles. I LOVE THE BATES AND ALWAYS WILL. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ryker's mouth is exactly like Lydia's. Beautiful Bates family, and their love for Jesus is so deep and sincere. Wonderful model of a loving Christian family with their priorities in the right place. Linda
Gil's hair 100% but everytime I see Ryker I see Lydia and Romeike side so far. Either way he's a doll. You all are so blessed to have such a large family that makes a point to be together on many occasions! Sure love watching your road trips and everyday life. Thanks for sharing!
The boys HAVE to be lining up for Ellie! She’s beautiful and has the very grown up quiet mystery about her…. Very no nonsense it seems. Can’t wait to see her story unfold!
Definitely something about her! I noticed it in this video, too. Addie is beautiful of course, too. She seems so sweet. Ellie definitely looked like a confident young woman here, though.
Thank Momma Jane and Jenny for letting us visit again! Such sweet candle lighting sentiments to those gone before us. 😇 Your son is going to be very strong. What a doll baby. Good driving ladies.
We used to have a gingerbread house party every year before Christmas. It was mostly all the women of the family and friends. My sister baked all the gingerbread pieces and we all pitched in for the sugar for the royal icing. Each person would bring candy so we had a very good variety. We all had so much fun. And we got very creative. I would always put mine in a large basket bag. And it would be the centerpiece on our dining table. The children couldn’t wait to be able to eat it 😊
Good job driving Addie and Ellie . Those gingerbread houses were awesome. Mama Jane and Papa Bill are so cute. Ryker is adorable love his laugh can’t wait to hear when he is really laughing hard .
Amen! God is truly good. Blessings to the ENTIRE Bates family ~ Great-grandparents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, cousins, brothers,sisters & babies on the way❤
AMEN Mr. Bates! I so appreciated Mr. Bates lighting the candles in remembrance. But how wonderful to share the the message of the gospel of Christ! Thank you for sharing with us!
I just enjoy watching your guys vlogs every time, well, all the Bates. What your dad said Trace was very touching. Sending prayers to all those who have passed in your family. Jesus is the reason for this season. Praise Jesus! I just love how you all put God first, which we all should do. May 2024 bring you all blessings!
I love looking at old pictures of family. I think Ryker looks a lot like Gill and Trace. Lydia seems to be so calm, cool, and collected as a new mom. When my first one was born I was a basket of nerves, especially in a crowd. She makes it look so easy. I hope all y'all had a Merry Christmas! God bless you.
Trace and Lydia, thank you for sharing the candle lighting. It brought tears to my eyes. It is wonderful to know we will be with our loved ones again but we do experience sadness now without them. Ryker is adorable.
Thanks for sharing your Christmas, I love your Family always touches my heart, I look forward to your blogs. Happy New Year All the Bates family and may the Lord continue to shine on all of us.
The gingerbread houses were awesome! What precise detail that was done on these works of art!! Yes, we're behind you Lydia, would love to see you in the 2024 gingerbread house competition!!!
It is defined come in the fall and also in winter around Christmas. We do get snow so always check the weather. I love living near Asheville. I go there to eat a lot.
Always happy to see you Trace and Lydia plus baby Ryker now. But it's truly a blessing when we get to see some of the rest of the family. We miss them all so much. Addie and Ellie are growing into two very beautiful young ladies. Won't be long till some special guy will come along and they will be courting. ❤ Have a safe and happy New Year.
Thankyou So much for sharing That was so Beautiful I love you guys Personalities and Family time. Your dad made me cry that was so wonderful lighting the candle in memory of your loved ones. I think Ryker looks like your dad papa bill. Merry Christmas Happy New Year 🎉🙏🙏 To us All..God Bless
I'm so happy that you were able to go back to the farm to celebrate Christmas with Papa Bill, Mama Jane, and family members who were able to join in the celebration! May 2024 be filled with abundant blessings for your family! Happy New Year! ❤️🙏
It was really touching when Gil spoke and lit the candles for Craig and the other family members. Everyone did a great job on the Christmas cookies! I hope to take my family to Asheville next year to see the gingerbread houses. Amazing! Happy New Year! 🎆
Thanks for sharing your trip and family with us…your family is so amazing and Ryker is such a handsome and happy little guy…here’s to a Happy and Healthy 2024💙🎶🍾💙

Trace you are so easy going and supportive and I admire that in you. I love listening to Gil talk and share his faith. I had the pleasure of getting to visit with him at his church a few years back.
Can't wait to see the new vlog and hope you guys have a great Saturday evening and night with baby Ryker and hope you guys and baby Ryker had a wonderful Christmas with the family and also hope you guys will have a great New Year. By the way baby Ryker is so cute and adorable and he is 3 and a half months old.

Watching this makes me miss bringing up bates! I wish they wud do another show I really enjoyed how much they all loved each other and loved the Lord and all that!
Ellie and Addie were babies when I first started watching your family and this is so amazing to see them driving, my daughter will be 16 and she's about to start driving as well I am proud of your sister, but I am a scared mom for my daughter. I absolutely love your family and may God continue to bless you guys.
Trace and Lydia thank you so much for this video I love seeing the grandparents I love watching them on the show. They live like 30 minutes away from my house (Anderson) Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.❤
There is not a Bates that is not absolutely gorgeous. They are so respectful and always put God first. They also have gorgeous spouses and children. I love watching each one of them that has videos.

I wish I could meet the bates
Right! I’ve never seen an entire family be as good looking as the bates usually there is a few people in a family that are unfortunate looking but not the bates they are all very good looking ! lol and the spouses too all very attractive!
Gil's genuine love and vulnerability is one of your family's most precious gifts. That all men could be that kind of man!
I compete in this competition! It was so cool to see my piece on your TH-cam channel. Such a fun event and so fun for us as competitiors to see so many enjoying our hours of work on display.
Trace and Lydia are forevermore parents to the little boy known as Chips! I wish more people would be born into Christian families because the world deserves more loving people ❤
Amen well said
I must've missed something...Chips???🤔🤗❤
I 💕 little Ryker. He is the best baby. Thanks for sharing the farm with us. I love Poppa Bill and Mama Jane so much. I pray for them often. You Dad make me cry lightening the candles. I LOVE THE BATES AND ALWAYS WILL. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I would love to see a German Christmas with Lydia 's family.
I thought Lydia's Mom was suppose to come to your house and cook some German food.
Mr Bates is just so encouraging. I love all of the Bates i wiah they would come back on TV
Ryker's mouth is exactly like Lydia's. Beautiful Bates family, and their love for Jesus is so deep and sincere. Wonderful model of a loving Christian family with their priorities in the right place. Linda
What a beautiful speech by Gill and the lightning of the candles. I would love to hear him preach in his church. What a wonderful man he is.
The Church has a TH-cam channel. Search for " Bible Baptist Church of East Tennessee " and you can hear him preach.
I love that he shows his children that men can cry also
Look up Bible Baptist church of East Tennessee, that’s their church and you can listen to Gil’s sermons.
Gil's hair 100% but everytime I see Ryker I see Lydia and Romeike side so far. Either way he's a doll. You all are so blessed to have such a large family that makes a point to be together on many occasions! Sure love watching your road trips and everyday life. Thanks for sharing!
What a Blessing You All are spending this Precious time with Poppa Bill &. Mamma Jane.😌
I Miss my 4 wonderful Grandparents so much.
