There is nothing at all wrong with telling your kids NO once in awhile. It's okay for us parents to get away from the house once in awhile without kids lol
It's healthy to say no and also to do things as a couple even if it is just a few minutes alone at the supermarket. I was a solo foster Mum and I had a rule that if I was in the toilet they couldn't disturb me. Just those few minutes gave me a chance to count to ten and put a smile back on my face. I don't see way people would have an issue with them saying no.
Crazy Pieces posted first so I already know how dessert went. I can't believe the cheating going on.🤣🤣. What a fun gift exchange. Missed Kylie and Mark.
I love seeing your family so close with the cousins having built-in best friends. Love seeing all the get together’s. My family was that way and then we all kinda split and went different directions last year so now it’s kinda lonely but I love watching the love and fun in your family does together
For future years you could look into getting wooden dowel rods at the craft store because a pack of those is going to be cheaper than buying new wooden spoons every time you run out of wooden spoons because they are holding up your Christmas toppers
Awesome Video!!! Shelly & Jared... It is totally okay to go grocery shopping by yourselves! Don't feel like just because you're filming, you have to take the kids with you? It doesn't matter what you do on film, people are going to knit-Pick on anything and everything you both do? So, all I have to say about that is... Do what makes you and Jared happy... Take all the time you need to be by yourself, it's your life, your kids, your family, your rules, and definitely your MONEY! You have such an enormous family and You and Jared do excellent running it! 👍 Loved seeing "Crazy Pieces" with you guys! I'm a huge fan of both Channels! ❤️❤️❤️
Your new plant is actually a Thanksgiving cactus. You can tell by the little pointy things. A Christmas cactus doesn’t have the points. But it’s a beautiful, healthy looking plant. Just be sure not to over water it. I really got into the holidau\y cactus last year and have enjoyed it so much. Love you family.
I’ve been waiting for the day to come to see you guys dona gift exchange with the crazy pieces. I love when you all get together. I love you all so much and God bless all of you ❤❤❤
I love the friendly competition between you and Crystal Shelley! What wonderful memories you all are making for all these wonderful kids. I hope you all have a very blessed holiday season. Sending love from Wilsonville Oregon.
Yes had to pause crazy pieces to come watch here for the dinner first, then ill go back to watch the desert part 😂, they’re listed at same time on you tube so clearly i chose part two first but its ok makes the two clips match up which is great. Definitely is OK to say no to children when you need to do some things just with Jared and no explanation is required ever Shelley 😊
Paused the other video before they came home to watch this one, now back to crazy pieces. 😂😂 I didn’t want to jump ahead of it! Love this idea and the progressive dinner too. ❤❤❤- Rebecca.
Always easier to shop alone or with one other person. I often said no to my kids and grandkids. My other saying knock it off. That soup look delicious.
Saying NO to children is necessary and it is a sign of good parenting! I have two adult sons (early 20’s) and I still say no to them, it is perfectly ok a spoiled child is not something we need in the world! ❤️👶👦🧒👧
The plant thing is so funny! As kids my sister and I both had our own flowers and mine was growing faster, so my sister tried to kill hers to make it taller and then cried when the tops came off.
Taco Soup Recipe for ALL those asking. Adjust accordingly to family size. But Jared shared it in Mason's 13th birthday video 🙂 Taco soup recipe : Olive oil Chopped Garlic Diced Onion ground beef 4 packets taco seasoning Mix it all together until brown 4 cans Tomato sauce 3-4 cans of beans 3-4 cans of mixed vegetables 3-4 cans of whole corn 3-4 cans of potatoes More taco seasoning at the end then it's done. Tostitos chips as well 🙂 for nachos if you prefer or eat it like soup out for a bowl 🙂
It's great to see you and dad go out places together without your kids, I know you both love them dearly, maybe what u need to do is have a Date night together on a weekend and let your kids defend for themselves with Dinner! love you guys so much! it's really Awesome to see your kids all get involved cooking and cleaning, I had to do chores when I was their age at 7 years old, it's called "Responsibility" and their doing an Awesome job
Love you all Shelly Jared thank you for sharing this video as you share the Name Exchange secret Santa love watching it you all have a wonderful evening
Hearing them guess how late they would be made me laugh. 10 minutes after the agreed time for dinner and someone’s house is not late! I would consider that on time.
Good for you for saying no sometimes. You don't have to justify your decision. Things go faster and cheaper without the kids. If you say yes 95% of the time, and 5% of the time you have to say no it's fine. And it's fine if it's the other way around too. You are wonderful parents. Your kids adore you, trust you, and are happy and safe.
Sorry you felt you had to explain why you said no. Watched wrong way round lol, has I tend to watch in order they are posted. Great idea seeing the cousins do secret santa name picking. Blessings.
That tortilla soup look delicious my mom used to make that she is deceased now I sure wish I would’ve learned how to make that maybe you can post the recipe I would really love that love you all crazy middles
I feel like it would’ve made more sense if you had put everyone’s name from both families in 1 bin, so that it’s even more of a surprise when you pick a name.
Hi Everyone happy Friday afternoon and happy vlogmas day and happy December and happy winter season and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter
I love watching your videos can you send those kids are so sweet and kind and well well behaved and I love the way they dress. Nice job mom and dad and nice job kiddos
Awesome video I really like it lot it was cool and you made awesome video and you are my favorite TH-cam and you are best TH-cam channel and Happy Holidays to you and your family
I love how you guys are doing this with my family every year all of the cousins do a name exchange and whoever we get we buy a present for but we always called it GRAB BAG ITS LITERALLY NAME EXCHANGE pick a name out if the back and whatever cousin you get we buy a present for ❤️
Hi crazy Middle's thank you for sharing this video with us I am so excited to see the secret Santa gift exchange and I love that your doing it with crazy Pieces your family is amazing and I appreciate your videos thank you
You are right you don't need to explain to anyone if you now what you need and just wanted to get in and out in a hurry then you can just go by yourself
Hi Jarrod, can you please put the recipe for your taco soup and your pasta salad recipe. I’ve been wanting to try it. Thanks in advance Lu from Melbourne, Australia
There is nothing at all wrong with telling your kids NO once in awhile. It's okay for us parents to get away from the house once in awhile without kids lol
Unfortunately there are other channels that do commentary on this channel & what they do wrong.
You guys don't have to take the kids with you guys ever where, with you every time 💕
It's healthy to say no and also to do things as a couple even if it is just a few minutes alone at the supermarket. I was a solo foster Mum and I had a rule that if I was in the toilet they couldn't disturb me. Just those few minutes gave me a chance to count to ten and put a smile back on my face. I don't see way people would have an issue with them saying no.
I love how everyone gets along. And even more, I love that your families do special things together for Christmas.
I can’t believe how much the kids have grown specially Trey. Hugs 💕💕
Trey is very helpful by doing things around the house I wish he was my little boy to live with me in Natchez, ms
Yes, I did say that? That is the truth about Tryer is my friend from YOU Tube I love him
he always asks to help to do think.
Saying no to the kids doesn’t mean you don’t love them. Yay for a quick date 💕
Not a date if they have someone else walking around video taping it…..
@@Pinkkermit17 We just get to see a few secconds of the shopping they did. Still a date for me.
POV: You came from watching Crazy Pieces video ❤
Me
Same
Me too
Same 😂💗
Yepppppp! 😂
Crazy Pieces posted first so I already know how dessert went. I can't believe the cheating going on.🤣🤣. What a fun gift exchange. Missed Kylie and Mark.
Mom and Dad mini date is always awesome :)
Glad to see you & Jared having some alone time even if it is the grocery store. Saying NO is ok
I agree Shelly... mini-date time was a good response!
I love seeing your family so close with the cousins having built-in best friends. Love seeing all the get together’s. My family was that way and then we all kinda split and went different directions last year so now it’s kinda lonely but I love watching the love and fun in your family does together
*the way that Hallie face lit up when she saw that cheese pull from her 🌮 taco soup* 👀 🧀
the Christmas cactus is so pretty once the flowers come out on them.
what a fun secret Santa idea!
I love each kids personalities so much. You guys have an amazing family. Keep it crazy. ❤❤❤
Ive been watching both families for years and was so excited to see sibling exchange come up for the first time its a deffo for every year :) xxx
For future years you could look into getting wooden dowel rods at the craft store because a pack of those is going to be cheaper than buying new wooden spoons every time you run out of wooden spoons because they are holding up your Christmas toppers
Great call, Jared! Mini date time.👍🏻❤️
Now I want the recipe for Taco Soup ! It looks so good !! This is so awesome to see your big families together !!
Awesome Video!!!

Trey's random dances are so adorable and funny

I’m SO glad you did a cousin name exchange! That was my idea, too!
Landon and Max look so much alike. I love it

Brenda i hope u have a wonderful holiday.
@@jenniferberube1260 thank you so much Jennifer I hope you have a wonderful holiday season as well!
Just finished watching the Crazy Pieces love the new tradition
I think you did a right/great decision going to store without your kids this time, because saying yes all the time is spoiling them too.
😂. “Did they eat ? I have idea “ lol😂😂😂😂
Yes had to pause crazy pieces to come watch here for the dinner first, then ill go back to watch the desert part 😂, they’re listed at same time on you tube so clearly i chose part two first but its ok makes the two clips match up which is great.

Aw, Braxton and Anavaeh hugging in the background.
🎄☃️Just finished watching the Pieces video. Enjoying this cousin gift exchange.💝🎁

Love this idea and the progressive dinner too. ❤❤❤- Rebecca.
I’m doing the same
Me too
Same. Crazy pieces came up first on my feed so had to pause.
This is a lovely way to create memories for the children! How do you include Mindee's kids?
My dog sleeps underneath my tree too. It’s so adorable.
Always easier to shop alone or with one other person. I often said no to my kids and grandkids. My other saying knock it off. That soup look delicious.
I would of left the kids home too. COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND!!! I only got 3 and I do the same sometime! Lol🥰
Saying NO to children is necessary and it is a sign of good parenting! I have two adult sons (early 20’s) and I still say no to them, it is perfectly ok a spoiled child is not something we need in the world! ❤️👶👦🧒👧
Aubrie: I wanna go to the store
Addison: You just wanna go spend some money
Aubrie: AaaAaAaaAaA
I would never be bored living in one of these two houses!!! I’m a only child and I had no body to just chill with!! ❤
The plant thing is so funny! As kids my sister and I both had our own flowers and mine was growing faster, so my sister tried to kill hers to make it taller and then cried when the tops came off.

This is a perfect time for Trey to do a tik tok with the sound "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" so cute!!

Mom & Dad date shopping is never wrong! Sometimes you need a break.. 1 kid or 100!

Brinley’s hair is awesome!

You are right you don't need to explain to anyone if you now what you need and just wanted to get in and out in a hurry then you can just go by yourself
