Again I love how Duncan opens a random drawer & finds the last lipstick, then just wondering how ya open the cage that happens to be the next clue, and then as everyone is huddled around the head he's like, umm...I found this brush, which again is the next clue. ahaha Great team
My husband: Didn’t you just watch this? Me: No that was Colleen’s vlog. This is the same video from a different angle and the answer is yes, I need to watch both in their entirety!
When my sister was like 13, my uncle gave my sister a movie that he had borrowed from my parents, a beer, a bag of popcorn kernels, and a half-eaten chocolate bar. The same uncle also gave her an old, dirty, holey sock for her to use as a hair scrunchie, and an ice cream pail full of pennies. I can't say she ever acted excited, except maybe for the penny pail. That ended up being like $40
OH MY GOODNESS!! At 12:21 they use the jack in the box I gave Colleen at a meet and greet in 2015! I literally yelled out when I saw it I can’t believe it’s still in tact 😂
Christopher telling Bailey that he is her biggest fan made me sob. I never had a father who cared about me and I‘m SO happy for your kids that they don‘t have to go through that! What a blessing your lovely family is 💕
Colleen: I can't find the presents Bailey: Oh okay She's so sweet, selfless and doesn't want to upset anyone. She really thought Colleen lost the present and still was ready to have fun
Duncan is such a sweet soul! I really love that you guys listen and let him finish instead of being tempted to finish his sentences or assume what he’s saying! Such good kidlets!
the kids are so so smart figuring out the escape room! Also they’re so grateful for all the presents they got, they would probably have the same reaction if they got a piece of gum🥺💕
Duncan holding the cage the whole time while older kids find the clues was such a mood😂😂 n being the smart kid he is knew the brush had a hidden compartment... slept after watching vlogust n woke up to volgmas intro❤ ....love from India
Jake has real potential there from what we've seen of his video editing and engineering skills! All of your kids are so talented in the drama department but Jacob's got that engineering brain and it's soooo cool! I'm so glad you encourage it :D
Idk why but I feel like Jacob really looks up to Erik. I feel like he thinks he’s really cool and wants to be like him lol could be wrong but I feel like if he was my uncle I’d think he was really cool lol
I literally smiled this entire video. I’ve been watching all the Ballinger’s since I was 14 and now I’m 21. It’s been so wonderful watching everyone grow up and families grow bigger. Love you guys!!
my grandma recently passed, we had the memorial service this morning. It’s been a long day but coming on and seeing this, a Ballinger vlog AND it involves Christmas.. truly felt like a gift. so thank you. love you all
The Christmas intro is everything! 😂 Edit: thank you guys so much for the likes and the nice comments. Just remember that you are awesome and beautiful no matter what. Have a spectacular day or night wherever you are.
I’ve been in a slump and haven’t been on TH-cam recently, so I’ve caught up on your channel over the past day or two. A new video is EXACTLY what I needed after my day 🙌🏼 Im sure it’s literally impossible for Duncan to NOT brighten your day.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the amount of creativity and talent is so prevalent in your family!! The escape room idea for the kids was perfect!! Colleen is an awesome Anty Panties!!
OK, so we've known this is coming and so many of the details and even so, I had tears in my eyes when they watched the second video and said the magic words. Colleen - you're a wonderful artist, and what you did with this was beautiful. I'm totally inspired and moved! (PS No wonder you were too excited to sleep when you were dreaming this up!)
I have never been so excited to watch a video! Your Christmas videos are my FAVORITE and I love that this is a bonus one. Thank you guys for sharing your lives, you make so so many people happy
My goodness how Luke as grown! The family looks like they are holding down the fort pretty well with all the south of the equator winter theme christmas. I love it!!
Parker is very grabby today lol the excitement took over and he’s snatching things out of Jacob and Baileys hands left and right. Chill bud! They can hold it too! Lol

I love that Jojo always gives the kids her merch and they are always just as excited as the time before 😂 if she ever got them anything else I think they would be really confused.
Was super fun watching them figure out the excape room. And then Parker trying to figure out how to put the quarter in the candy machine made me laugh so hard. Rachel is hilarious! And I love how Duncan is such a great big brother!
So glad you are finally getting together. This year has been so tough for everyone. This was a great idea to give the kids Christmas in August! I wish our family could do this but we are all spread out.
Loved that Duncan figured out some of the clues! What a smartie pants! Also cracked up and replayed the part where the jack in the box scared Jacob and Parker :)
Duncan rocked that escape room. He found the last lipstick, figured out the brush, knew that the lock on the cage was next. What can't he do?!
Eselcool true
did I just watch Colleen’s vlog? Yes. Am I going to watch this to get another POV? Yes.
SAME
Samee

Carm he found the lipstick because Colleen told him where it was! But ya I agree
My husband: Didn’t you just watch this?
Me: No that was Colleen’s vlog. This is the same video from a different angle and the answer is yes, I need to watch both in their entirety!
😂😂

Literally same!!

YES!!! 😂😂
Christopher: “didn’t you?!”
Luke: “I regret nothing.”
Duncan is so smart! He figured out the hairbrush has a compartment! And his little grinch onesie is super cute! 🥺💕
Such sweet kids. I wish I could be that excited to be gifted my own pants.
When my sister was like 13, my uncle gave my sister a movie that he had borrowed from my parents, a beer, a bag of popcorn kernels, and a half-eaten chocolate bar.
The same uncle also gave her an old, dirty, holey sock for her to use as a hair scrunchie, and an ice cream pail full of pennies.
I can't say she ever acted excited, except maybe for the penny pail. That ended up being like $40
Sasha Maria We need more kids like them they are so grateful😃😃😃
bootstrappers those are terrible gifts tho hahaha
Parker: hyperventilating
Jacob: tears off one piece of tape
OH MY GOODNESS!! At 12:21 they use the jack in the box I gave Colleen at a meet and greet in 2015! I literally yelled out when I saw it I can’t believe it’s still in tact 😂
How did you make that? That’s so creative!
Hana Wood awe that’s so cute!!
No one:

Ballinger Family: Celebrating Christmas in August.
*I love you*

@@ashleycarriere3155 Hi

All the kids have gotten so good at their Miranda impressions 😂
Christopher telling Bailey that he is her biggest fan made me sob. I never had a father who cared about me and I‘m SO happy for your kids that they don‘t have to go through that! What a blessing your lovely family is 💕
❤️
Omg the part with Colleen’s tamagotchi and bailey goes “I saved it from a fire earlier” and colleen goes “that was its poop” HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Colleen: I can't find the presents
Bailey: Oh okay
She's so sweet, selfless and doesn't want to upset anyone. She really thought Colleen lost the present and still was ready to have fun
Duncan is such a sweet soul! I really love that you guys listen and let him finish instead of being tempted to finish his sentences or assume what he’s saying!
Such good kidlets!
I love how Eric just sort of looms in the background
Ukrrr
erik's acting "what do you mean" was so good haha
the kids are so so smart figuring out the escape room! Also they’re so grateful for all the presents they got, they would probably have the same reaction if they got a piece of gum🥺💕

I literally see EXACTLY what you mean. You could even see it when he showed Erik the stop motion video first, on Colleen's vlog
I also feel like they look alike? maybe it's just the eyebrows and swoopy bangs
@@meghanobrien9137 ahhhhhh man 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can see that, a little
Meghan O'Brien I’ve always thought that!!! I think it’s crazy they aren’t actually related
"i love you bessy!" omg throwback to bessy 😂
If only it was actually Christmas, let's end 2020 once and for all
Avery the Cuban-American yes If only it was
Amen!
Avery the Cuban-American before 2020 ends US 😂😭
Amen
That escapee room was the most wholesome AND clever idea
Duncan’s voice is the cutest!! the kids are just so sweet and raised so well.
If chaos was a person, it'd be Parker 😂😂
Erik and Duncan's relationship is so wholesome 🥰🥰
2:53 colleen is so creative for this
I literally smiled this entire video. I’ve been watching all the Ballinger’s since I was 14 and now I’m 21. It’s been so wonderful watching everyone grow up and families grow bigger. Love you guys!!
the genuine fear over the jack in the box cracked me up so hard . Bless his heart!
my grandma recently passed, we had the memorial service this morning. It’s been a long day but coming on and seeing this, a Ballinger vlog AND it involves Christmas.. truly felt like a gift. so thank you. love you all
14:42 Jacob is such a sweet big brother!! I think he saw Duncan coming down the stairs slower than the bigger kids so he went up to bring him down ❤️
The Christmas intro is everything! 😂
Edit: thank you guys so much for the likes and the nice comments. Just remember that you are awesome and beautiful no matter what. Have a spectacular day or night wherever you are.
Love it 😂
I love that Bailey's first reaction to Colleen saying she couldn't find the presents was "Oh, That's OK" she's so sweet!
Your kids are so well-behaved
It's so cute when Duncan is with the older kids
He can't contribute, but you can tell he's learning and paying attention
I’ve been in a slump and haven’t been on TH-cam recently, so I’ve caught up on your channel over the past day or two. A new video is EXACTLY what I needed after my day 🙌🏼 Im sure it’s literally impossible for Duncan to NOT brighten your day.
Oh I love Duncan so much. “My salmon is very hooooooot!”
I love how I've seen all this footage but just at a different angle 😂
When Duncan found the last lipstick🥺this was so sweet of Colleen to do, I can’t handle all this cuteness😆❤️
I wish I had the same level of energy as Parker
omggg i didn’t realize how much i missed the vlogmas intro 🥺😍
19:19 Duncan’s “thanks Jojo” is adorable!!!!
Can we please talk about how parker is so adorable with Flynm
the kids: get slinkies and fans
luke: gets a magazine
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the amount of creativity and talent is so prevalent in your family!! The escape room idea for the kids was perfect!! Colleen is an awesome Anty Panties!!
“Maranda did dat?” .... “oooh” 🥰🥰🥰
This family, Colleens household and Jojo are just an absolute joy to watch. They are all just such nice people who are so down to earth.
OK, so we've known this is coming and so many of the details and even so, I had tears in my eyes when they watched the second video and said the magic words. Colleen - you're a wonderful artist, and what you did with this was beautiful. I'm totally inspired and moved! (PS No wonder you were too excited to sleep when you were dreaming this up!)
did duncan watch colleen’s vlog? because he probabaly knew all the answers he’s just hiding it
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 omg I didn’t even think of that lol
I absolutely love how accepting the Ballingers are, there so sweet🥺
16:02 the way Jessica reminds Duncan to say thank you🥰
Colleen: gives all of her nieces and nephews disc shooters
All of her nieces and nephews: *shoots disc and hits someone* oops sorry
Duncan saying thanks flynn is everything....💖💕😘
Duncan literally reminds me of Sunny Baudelaire in this vid hahaha
Love the sound effects by Jessica Ballinger. 😂
me watching Parker open the JoJo Backpack: *now THAT’S a spiritual revelation 😌* 😂😂
I have never been so excited to watch a video! Your Christmas videos are my FAVORITE and I love that this is a bonus one. Thank you guys for sharing your lives, you make so so many people happy
This is so sweet and I'm so happy that a wonderful family like you guys are able to share your lives with us...you are the best💕
Bailey and Parker’s reaction to the escape room was priceless!
Bailey's voice is amazing! 💕🎤
Grandma's concern face when Collen said she cant find the presents IS LEGIT! i just love it (at 2:16)
That intro brought me back to right before the dumpster fire of a year started and good Lord 😅
I wish my family had Christmas in August! 🤩
these kids are so sweet and so kind and so gentle. raised right.
When Duncan was opening his first present Flynn yawned and it was the cutest little yawn ever
My goodness how Luke as grown! The family looks like they are holding down the fort pretty well with all the south of the equator winter theme christmas. I love it!!
Your kids are so lucky to have such a loving family. I hope they know just how blessed they are. 💙
These vlogs are exactly what my hearts needed today 💓💓💓
"I told you." I don't normally watch your channel, but your little guy is hilarious.
Omg i can’t believe I’m this early. I just watched Colleen’s vlog.
Ashleigh Carter, SAME
Ashleigh Carter Oh my God I almost screamed when I saw your name finally someone who spells their name the same way as me LOL
So excited. Glad colleen came up with this idea. Good job guys getting the escape room. Love this whole family
I always love the ballinger’s vlogmas even though it’s August 😌🥺❤️!!
Luke was so small in the vlogmas intro lol
Can we all just notice that Duncan and Jacob are awsome at escape rooms
jake’s movie for flynn is the BEST present like so heartfelt
Can we just appreciate how good of a big brother Jacob is? 14:40 - 14:49
Parker is very grabby today lol the excitement took over and he’s snatching things out of Jacob and Baileys hands left and right. Chill bud! They can hold it too! Lol
Double vlog day!?! It’s a Christmas miracle!!

Kat pinksherry If you don’t like them why’d you comment on mine 🤔🤨
Brianna Williams I was asking why people post like that? Was I not clear? Sorry
What a sweet and cute idea. Especially with what's going on right now in the world. Happy family!
I love that Jojo always gives the kids her merch and they are always just as excited as the time before 😂 if she ever got them anything else I think they would be really confused.
Parker's reaction to JoJo's gift was priceless!
Their is so much love in that family I love that family ❤️❤️
When Duncan came and was all up about the salmon being too hot😂😍
Erik and Jacob seem to have such a great relationship
Was super fun watching them figure out the excape room. And then Parker trying to figure out how to put the quarter in the candy machine made me laugh so hard. Rachel is hilarious! And I love how Duncan is such a great big brother!
jacobs presents were so sweet and thoughtful, he is such a sweet kid!
Erik calling Duncan DunDun was the cutest thing ever!!!
At 14:42 when Jacob runs back to get Duncan 🥺 such good siblings to each other
I love the Vlogmas intro!!! Can’t wait for the intro for this year!! ❤️
While watching her vlogs I knew the kids would be SUPER EXCITED for the escape room. What I didn't expect was for Duncan to come in as the MVP. 🧡😁🧡
That scavenger hunt was SOOOO CUTE.
Also the drama from Parker when opining his Jojo present was too much😂
So glad you are finally getting together. This year has been so tough for everyone. This was a great idea to give the kids Christmas in August! I wish our family could do this but we are all spread out.
Loved that Duncan figured out some of the clues! What a smartie pants! Also cracked up and replayed the part where the jack in the box scared Jacob and Parker :)
I love baily’s dress! I love sweet potato casserole it’s my favorite at thanksgiving!
lol 20:26 flynn is just playing with is cars in the background lol
I literally thought Bailey was Colleen! I didn't realise how much they really do look alike!
