(Jessica laughing) - [Jessica] Good job, sweetie. That's jiggly, good job. - [Jacob] You can you sit down. You can sit down. - [Duncan] Let go. - Yeah. - Wow! - Yeah, Luke. - [Duncan] Luke, Luke. - [Jacob] Luke, you got this. - Oooh. - Whoa. - Whoa. - Whoa. - Whoa. - Woo, whoa, whoa. - [Jessica] (cheering) You did it. - [Christopher] Okay, little business. - [Duncan] You took away all of them. - [Parker] Whoa, what is that? - [Jessica] Oh my goodness, what is that? - [Parker] What, Luke? (Jessica laughs) - [Jessica] Oh my goodness, you guys are making so many cool things in your kitchen. - Yeah. - [Jessica] This way you can sell them at your shop. - [Christopher] And you get to color this all in. - What? - [Christopher] Yeah, you can use crayons and color it in. - What? - What? - [Jacob] Whoa! - Over there. - [Jessica] What is that? - Yeah. - I'm nursing baby Teddy right now, because he just woke up too. So, it was definitely time for him to nurse. Oh, look at these little sneaky snakes. You guys, wait. - [Christopher] Back up, guys. - Back up, back it up, and I wanted to say a couple things just in case this is your first Christmas with us. Well, one thing new that we're doing is Christopher and I are wrapping our gifts with baby receiving blankets. So I saw this really cool video on a Japanese method of gift wrapping, and I was very inspired to try it, because it's a little bit more sustainable, and we have a large family. So it's always important for us to look for ways to be more sustainable. Mine isn't as fancy as the videos that I've watched of people doing it for a long time, because I'm new at this, but I love that I was able to use the massive collection of muslin receiving blankets that I have purchased a lot of over the years, because I really, really love those, and I think it's so cool that just as we are probably, maybe, on our last baby, and I was like, "Oh man, "I've got all these blankets. "What am I gonna do with them?" That right away, it was answered, and I have this really cool new wrapping method that we can do. So you'll notice there are a lot of presents under our tree. The ones that are from Christopher and I are actually wrapped in fabric, and there aren't as many of those. The ones that the kids got for each other are wrapped for the most part, I think, maybe one or two got wrapped in fabric. So you'll notice there are always a ton of presents under our tree, but for the most part, it's a lot of the kids giving to each other, which I think is wonderful and actually to us, which is wild. They don't need to do that, but I think that that's really important to note, because it looks like so much, and I grew up in a family where we had a lot less under our Christmas tree, and that is perfectly normal and typical too. We just have a lot of kids that give a lot of presents to each other. So there's definitely always a lot underneath our tree, and we also have some traditions that pop in, and we don't even think to explain. So one thing that we've done every year is we put a little photos on all of the presents, and it's so that the people in our family who aren't reading yet are still able to experience giving. So they can look at a picture and go, "Oh, this is for my dad." And they'll feel excited, and we have the kids each take turns giving gifts out to other people. So that is how we do things here, and I love that tradition. It's also really neat, because we collect the photos over the years and reuse them. So we'll get to have little baby photos and memories pop up each year as a special surprise. - [Christopher] He found a vintage one right there. - [Jessica] Look at that one. - [Bailey] That's me. - This is from me, so. - All right, I think we're good to get started. What do you think? - [Kids] Yeah! - Can I be the first present elf, please? (festive piano music) - Whoa, what a do? (Bailey laughs) - [Jessica] Oh, corn role off the slide? Oh wow. (upbeat ukulele music) (Jessica laughing) - [Parker] That one's from me to Jacob. - Looking at how vintage that photo is. - [Christopher] Yeah, that's a vintage photo. - [Parker] That was from me to Jacob. - [Jacob] This is like 11 years ago or something. - [Parker] That one's from me to Jacob. - There we go, I'm gonna take off the tape on this side. - It's like a what'd you get thing. - [Jessica] What'd you get? - Do I need scissors for this? - Uh, I don't know. - It's a baby Yoda. - It's baby Yoda? - [Bailey] Oh my gosh. - Oh my gosh, - The dream. - That's what his mission runs too. - [Christopher] Luke, are you gonna be the present elf? - [Jessica] Find a present for somebody that's not Luke, ooh. - Ooh. (glass breaks) Who's this one from? - Oh, me, I think. - [Christopher] Oh, this is from Duncan. - Yeah, that's from Duncan. - Thank you, Luke, and thank you, Duncan. - Oh, yeah, it's from me. - Let's see. - [Christopher] Whoa! - It's a Star Wars spaceship. - [Parker] Wow. - Lego, so it's like a Lego Star Wars spaceship. Thank you. - [Jessica] Let's have Parker be the next present elf. - Yes, okay, I'm really excited about what I got this person. Mom, this is for you. - Oh my goodness. Oh, wow, this looks cozy. Look at these cozy slippers. Oh wow, this is so smart, because I can go outside with these. - Bailey. - Oh, thank you. Thank you. (laughs) I put this on my list 'cause I love these. - [Jacob] It comes with more. - (laughs) Thank you so much. This is amazing. - [Parker] There is so many wheat thin. - What about these two. - I love these so much. - So our family has a tradition every year of getting a new ornament for the tree. Jessica and I go out and we pick them out. We try and base it off of the kids' interests or something about their personality. So Luke kind of got into Bailey's. Luke accidentally opened that a little, Bailey. - Oh, thank you. Oh my gosh, this is the best. - [Parker] Yes. - Oh my gosh, does it have noise? - [Duncan] I guess Luke does. - Oh my Gosh. Oh, it does have noise, but not right now. - [Parker] It needs batteries. - It's amazing. - Santa! - Thank you so much. - [Christopher] Are you liking Christmas so far? Yeah. - [Duncan] Teddy's the next Christmas elf. - Teddy's the next Christmas elf? - [Duncan] And he picks this one. - [Christopher] Did he pick this? I did see him grabbing that one. Oh boy, what's it gonna be? What do you think it's gonna be? - I don't know. (festive piano music) - [Jessica] Oh, this is one of your big presents. - Whoa! - Whoa. - [Jessica] So that, Duncan, is a popcorn kit, and it has flavors. So super fun flavors-- - You've got dill pickle flavor. (family laughs) - [Jessica] So you can make pickle popcorn. - And we've also got peanut butter. - Whoa! - Peanut butter? - I love peanut butter! - And this is popcorn oil. I didn't know this was a thing. - [Jessica] And guess what, Duncan. You're gonna get a box like this every month for the whole year, - Whoa! - Whoa! - [Jessica] with different flavors for you to try. - I love it! - [Jessica] (laughs) And I think you get new popcorn flavors, and new popcorns. - [Jacob] What, are you excited to try it? - Yeah, I'm trying it right now. Thank you! - [Christopher] The wrapping paper's coming in handy for spit up already. - [Bailey] Oh, he's eating it now. - [Christopher] Now you're eating the wrapping paper? - [Bailey] Strawberries. - [Christopher] Oh, that's true. Oh, caution, fragile. Do not drop Daddy. - (laughs) I was going to write like, "Merry Christams, "You're the most amazing dad in the warrant." - [Christopher] You chose the, "Fragile, do not drop Daddy." - Yes. - Classic. - [Christopher] Classic. (laughs) That is so funny. I showed the kids a clip from this moment where Batman is wearing the shorts and surfing against The Joker, and they thought it was hilarious, and now, it's a special memory for all of us. - [Jessica] That's fun, I didn't even know that was a real thing. I was just like, "Oh, Bailey got some shorts for Batman." - No, this is memories. - I bought this for Teddy, and Luke just picked it out. So teddy, do you want to, how do I do it with Teddy? - [Christopher] You just, kind of, open it. You can try and have him grab some of it. - [Jessica] He looks really excited. - Look, Teddy, look. It's a nice bear that you can cuddle with while you're at night time. - [Jessica] Oh, he's really happy. He's squeezing it. - [Christopher] What are you doing? Are you taking a nap? - [Jessica] Good job, Parker. - [Parker] I didn't know he would like this. He just can't stop hugging it. - [Jessica] (laughs) He love's it. - That's from me to Luke. - This is your present time. - Do you know what it is? - You want to open it. Open it, open it. - You want to put the cup down? - It's from Parker. - Here, I'll hold this so you can use both hands. I'll hold this. Open it. There we go. - [Parker] What is it? - Whoa., (giggles) ice cream? I love it. - [Jessica] Aw, he loves it, Parker. - [Duncan] Uh-oh. (family laughs) - [Jessica] Okay, gentle, gentle. - [Christopher] Be gentle. (Jessica laughs) You love your Teddy? Oh, big squishes. - [Christopher] Those are hugs. - Bailey, I hope she likes it - Thank you. I will like it. I'm gonna put it on Luke. - Oh boy, Lukey. - Oh you're gonna get a bow. - Bow. - Silly, (Bailey laughs) That's silly. - Parker, it's so good. Thank you so much. - [Parker] You're welcome. - Polyjuice potion mistake. Thank you, Parker. - You're welcome. - This is amazing. - It's from Santa. - Wow, from Santa. Is this the first Santa present? - [Christopher] Yes, this is the first Santa present. - [Jessica] Wow. - [Duncan] Just rip it. - [Jacob] Try over here. Do you want me to get scissors for him? - [Jessica] Look at how sparkly the ribbon is. - [Jacob] You want to pull here? - [Jessica] You're doing such a good job. - You got it. - Whoa. - Whoa. - Whoa. - Whoa, it's so long. (family cheers) This goes over here. What is it? What could it be? What is that? Flip it around. - [Bailey] Is that a car? - [Jacob] Look, you go like this, and you move it around, and then look. - [Jessica] Okay, open it up. - Oh my gosh. - Look at the cars. - Whoa. - These are silky. - Whoa. - Look at those cars. That's so cool. - Look, there's another one right here. - What do you say to Santa? - There's two ones right here. - Luke, what do you say to Santa. (Luke mumbles) - Thank you, yeah. - [Jessica] Yeah, Luke's saying thank you. - [Bailey] Look at this one, it's sparkling. Oh, wow, it's color-changing. - [Jessica] Is that what's happening? Oh my goodness, I thought, oh, look at that. Show Lukey. Lukey, give this car a squish. Can you go squish? - Squish it. It changed color. See look, squish. - Whoa. - Whoa, it's blue. - [Jacob] Whoa, that one is too. - [Christopher] And it looks like Santa's left you a lot of space so you can put your other cars in there so you can carry around a whole bunch of your cars. - [Jessica] (laughs) that's on video. Okay, and then. - [Christopher] And then you pull on it, and you go like this, you go. - [Jessica] You want to watch Daddy. (laughs) Here, walk to Mama. - Can you walk to Mama with that? - [Christopher] Can you bring it over to Mama? - [Jessica] Walk to Mama. Oh my goodness! Are your cars walking to Mama with Luke? Whoa, vroom cars. Vroom, vroom. - So in our family, Santa brings the kids one gift each. So they have a special gift that's just from Santa, and then the rest of it is from other people in the family, because there's a bunch of sparkly red presents. Those are all from Santa Claus. - I haven't gotten any presents yet, but I still feel like I've gotten presents. I got a present from their happiness. That's my present and I love it. - Sorry, the wrapping is terrible, because that's how I wrap things. - No, that's me. - [Jessica] I'm gonna teach you blanket wrapping, Bail. It's gonna change your life. - What? - Fun challenge. - A ginormous tub of slime? - [Jessica] (laughs) Isn't that perfect? And also, Parker, I think it actually smells good. - Oh I can already smell it. - Oh my goodness. - I can too. - [Christopher] And it might be a multi-time slime. - Oh, good, good, good, good, good. Oh. - It's a multi-use. Oh, and the smell. - Oh. - [Christopher] Smells like soap? - No. - Like raspberries or something. - It's blueberry. - Oh, like blueberries or something. - [Christopher] That is so much slime. - May I touch it? - Yeah. - This is the best slime I've ever felt. - [Christopher] Luke's taking a little food break, so is Duncan, but it's Luke's turn to pick out a present. So he's just gonna point to one. - [Bailey] Can you point to one? - [Christopher] Point to one present. That one. - [Jessica] (laughs) Is that the one? Ask him, Jacob. - [Jacob] Wait, is this the one? Yes or no? (Luke mumbles) Okay. - [Jessica] That one. - Oh my goodness gracious muah. This is amazing, an ice cream truck. - [Jessica] Yes! - It's amazing, thank you. - Oh, it's a Rubik's cube. - You said you wanted one. - You wanted one of them. - I did. - I saw it, I was like, "I just saw this at Target." So I'm like, "I'm gonna get it." I'm going to pick this one. It's for Luke. I'm happy, because it's food related. So you can open it. - [Jacob] What is it? - Yes. - I'm not gonna lie. - What is it? Is it goldfish? - [Jessica] Oh my goodness, what do you say? - [Duncan] Can I eat some too? I'm still hungry. - [Parker] Can you say thank you? (Luke mumbles) You're welcome. - [Jacob] This is for you. - Ooh, I'm excited about this. No idea what this is. - Oh boy. - Oh do. - Oh, wraps and wraps and wraps and wraps! - More wraps! There's no yellow wraps. - There's so many wraps. - There's more, there's more. Oh my gosh. - There's yellow in that one. - (laughs) Is that? Oh wait, it goes in this way. - [Duncan] Another one? - Oh my gosh, this is so amazing. Thank you so much. - [Jessica] Your welcome, and there's one more. There's a black box. - Oh yeah, this one. - [Jessica] (laughs) Parker, why do you like wraps? - Because they're awesome. - [Jessica] What do you use them for? - Stuffs and dancing and stuff. - You wrap them around your feet, right? - Yes, I wrap them around my feet. - [Jessica] Do they make you feel good or do you just like the fashion? - I don't know. I like both. - [Christopher] Oh, Christmas wraps have been administered. - Yep. - Yep. - [Christopher] Yep. - (laughs) Very cool, and it's little miss Ru's morning time. So she just woke up and went potty, and now she's hanging out in her pen. There she is, Angel. So Ru, I know, is very large, and this is something that still baffles me as a new dog owner, but she is actually still a puppy. She has entered her adolescence phase, but she's still considered a puppy for another year or so, because she's larger, and she'll still be a puppy until she's around two to three-years-old, and she's not even one yet. So Ru, our giant dog, is a puppy, and this is her very first Christmas. So the training program that we're using with Ru highly recommends that the puppy stay in a pen or tethered to an adult while they are still learning all throughout that puppy phase, and what this does is it is making sure that your puppy doesn't develop bad behaviors that become a routine or a normal thing for them, and it shows them, look, this is how we live in our home, this is how you're gonna live in our home, and this is what you're allowed to do within that home, and it also keeps her safe, and that's like the most important thing obviously, but she spends a lot of time in her pen being treated for her good behavior. So when she's doing good, like right now, she's amazing. Can you see her? Jacob's just sitting by her and give her little treats and encouraging her and we'll say good girl, good girl, and the goal is to say good things at least 10 times to anything that might be negative. So the goal is to be doing way more on the positive and just really encouraging good behaviors and not having her develop habits, and this is her very first Christmas. So we don't really know what things she may or may not respond to, but we really want to have Christmases with her cuddled up with us by the fire for the rest of her life. So we're trying really hard for this first Christmas to be a learning experience for her and for her to see what we're doing, get treated for her good behaviors, and not develop any bad behaviors, like, I dunno, ripping open a present or chasing after a Santa's toys or bells or whatever. We want her to learn that those aren't her toys. So next year, when she's closer to being an adult and she's done this once before, there won't be any concern for her having a bad habit or doing something that could be dangerous to her. So we're working really hard to train her. I know it's a little different than in some homes. Part of that reason is because the training that we're doing is geared towards potential service, and I don't know that that will necessarily happen or even if how much we'll need it. We're just seeing as we go what that will lead to. It's a long process. We're trying our best to equip her with everything we can to enable her to do that eventually, if that is a need or a possibility, but she's a really good dog. She's doing such a good job, and what a sweetie. I'm so excited that she's up and ready to join us for Christmas, because we've got a lot of presents for her. - What is it? - [Jessica] Oh boy, do you know what that is? - Know what it is? - No. - Do you know what it is? - Making Forky. - Yeah, you can make a whole bunch of forkies. Look at how many sporks are in here, and how many pipe cleaners and how many eyes and how many these. - [Jessica] That is so cool. - It's so epic. (family laughs) Thank you so much. - You're welcome. Right there, yeah. - [Parker] Do you want this one? (Luke mumbles) - [Jessica] That one. - [Christopher] Oh, this is one of the Santa gifts, it looks like. - [Parker] Whoa. - [Duncan] Oh my gosh! - Whoa. - Tada. - [Christopher] that is cool. It's got like a forge and a place to eat. This is a cool set, Jake. - So excited. - [Christopher] Ooh, another Santa gift - Hey, Teddy. - to Teddy. Okay, Teddy, what do you got? What's going on in here? Let's get you outta here. Wanna hold that? Hold it. Whoa, good job, good job. - [Jessica] Wow, Teddy. - Hold it. You got it? Pull, pull, pull, and pull, pull, pull, whoa. What is this? Oh my goodness. It's a Bumbo. Oh boy. - [Jessica] Oh, big boy. - You fit perfectly. - [Jessica] Just in time for Christmas. - Say thank you, Santa. Do you like it? Yes, you like your Bumbo? You like your Bumbo. - [Jessica] (giggles) Big boy. - I'm choosing this one. It's for Bailey. It's a Santa present and it's for Bailey. - It's flat. - Thank you. - It's a note. - Aw, I'm sponsoring a child, and she's three, and she lives in Africa. - [Jessica] You guys will have so much to learn about each other. - She can speak English. - Oh, that's amazing. - [Jessica] That's awesome. I don't think you've sponsored a child who speaks English before. That will be so fun to write back and forth with her. - [Christopher] Bailey asked Santa this year if she could sponsor a child, and that's what she got. - [Jessica] Wow, Bailey. - We just cleaned up like a lot of wrapping paper, and it crunched everywhere. So I treated her a lot to make sure she's not afraid of it. - [Jessica] She's such a good girl. - Now that's two treats now isn't it. Here can you hold on to it? Can you hold on? Yeah, that's so good. See what you got? Oh he's gonna love this. You open it, and you put it on the floor or on your bed or something, and you press power-- - Which is right there. - And you have stars in your room. - [Jessica] Aw, Teddy, so sweet. - Oh my gosh. Bailey, this is amazing. (family laughs) It's a sticker book. - So whenever I'm in the car, Duncan always asks to help me with, I have one of these that's a bird. He always tries to find the pieces for me. He keeps saying, I really want one of these. So here you go. - [Jacob] This one? (Luke mumbles) Yeah? Okay, okay. - Dad's gift to Bailey. - Thank you. Oh, this is an old picture of me. - [Christopher] Ooh, that is vintage Bailey right there. - Whoa. - What is it? Is that like a thing that you put on your window? - Mmhmm, look, it makes a stained glass picture. This is amazing, thank you. - Thank you. Oh, oh yes, yes, yes. This is my ornament. - [Jessica] There's a baby Yoda. - It's a baby Yoda. - [Christopher] Baby Yoda? ♪ Baby Yoda, baby Yoda ♪ ♪ Floating in a pod, baby Yoda ♪ - Thanks. - [Christopher] Ooh, from Santa. - What? I need to clean this room right now. (upbeat jazz music) - [Jessica] Do you like it? - Yeah. - Yep, I'm putting it in the other room. I cleaned it. - Oh, Luke is up. - Are you done eating? Done eating, ready for some presents? - [Jessica] Oh boy. - This kind of wrapping's a little different. - [Jessica] Oh boy, what's in there. - Ooh. - Ooh, good one. - [Jessica] Figured it out. (Jessica laughs) - [Parker] I love it. - [Jessica] Right, isn't it so cute? It's squish. It's something for you to squish, Lukey. - [Christopher] It's a dinosaur. (Luke growls) Exactly. - (growls) Like that. (Duncan growls) - [Christopher] Can you squish it? Good squishing, oh. - Big squoosh. - Do you see the eyes and a mouth? - [Jessica] And it's a little smile reminded me of your smile. - [Christopher] Yeah, there's your mouth. Here, let's see you guys smile. Can you smile? Here, hold it. Let's see your smile. (Jessica laughs) Ooh, Jake gets a present. Is this from you, Bailey? - [Bailey] Yes. - [Christopher] Okay. - Oh, yes. (Bailey laughs) I'm an engineer, engineer, engineer. I am good at math. Literally me, so I have dyslexia, which means it's harder for me to read and write, but I've got a brain for building things more and designing things. I really like, I love this. - [Christopher] Can you bring it over to Mommy and just give it to her gently? It goes to Mommy. Can you give it to Mommy? - Thank you, oh. - [Parker] I got it. - (laughs) Thank you. Do not shake. It even said instructions on the back. That was very responsible, Parker. Oh wow, this is from Parker, and it seems very delicate. Wrapped so well though. It's hard to be delicate with it, but I'm trying not to shake it. Did I shake it too much already? - [Parker] No, I don't think so. - Can I turn it over? - [Parker] Yeah, you can turn it over. - Baked Blush. Oh, look at me. I'm a fancy. Palladio baked blush. Thank you, Parker, it's perfect. - Your welcome. - [Jessica] I love you. Isn't it awesome? - Yes. Oh, Duncan found something else. (glass breaks) Oh, Lukey, come on over. - [Christopher] Luke, you got another present. - Yes, now you got one more right here. What is it? What's inside? - Another knot. - Is it another squishamallow? - [Jessica] Yeah, it's Dumbo. - It's Dumbo. - [Duncan] I told you it was Dumbo. - [Jessica] Cause Lukey loves Dumbo. Squish, good squish. (laughs) (Luke imitates fart noises) - What is it? - I don't know, but I saw costumes. Letters, so this is like a craft box. - [Jessica] Yeah, it's specialty paints all for doing like really cool cosplay stuff. - That's so cool. Thank you. - [Parker] Bailey, it is all yours. - Oh, it is my turn. I have a really good present for Lukey. - [Jacob] What is it? - [Bailey] Wrapping paper. You want help? - Help. - [Bailey] Okay, here we go. This is exciting. - Yeah. - Oh my gosh, Bailey. Be gentle. - Flag. - [Christopher] Flags, yeah, good talking. - [Bailey] I got him a 30 pack so that if he broke one, he would still have the others. - [Christopher] Is that your favorite one? - [Parker] Hope it doesn't break. (Luke imitates flag whooshing) - [Bailey] You like it? (Luke mumbles) - [Christopher] Yeah, there are stars on there. (Luke mumbles) Star, yeah. - You know what it is? It's Buzz Lightyear's hand. So you can go (imitates laser), and these shoot out, and you can look in there, and there's things that you can press. Isn't that cool? That's what it does. - I'm opening this right now. - [Jessica] That's so cool, Duncan. - [Parker] Yeah. - Cool. - Now, shoot it. (glass breaks) - Whoa. - [Jessica] Whoa, blaster. - [Parker] That probably does the other one. - So these are the buttons. This one doesn't go down. - Oh boy, oh, this is so cute. Cat in the hat. It's very soft and oh, the places you'll go, so cool. This is really sweet, because Bailey actually had one of these. It looked different. It was red, but it was a cat in the hat onesie when she was like his age. So it's so special and the ABC's, Teddy. That's so cute. Can't wait to see you in you're little book clothes. - [Christopher] Are you on top of the present, Luke? - Yeah. (laughs) - Yeah. - This to Ru from muah. - [Jessica] Ru. - [Christopher] Oh, because Ru loves going on Starbucks runs. - [Parker] Yeah. - [Christopher] I think she likes it a latte. - [Jessica] I was gonna say, I think it's a pupper mint latte. (upbeat jazz music) - What is that? What is it? Luke, look. Look at that, Luke. - Yeah? - Yeah. - [Christopher] It's camping. - It come's with a guitar. - [Jessica] And a teapot. - Yeah, and a teapot. - [Christopher] Wow, that is so perfect for our family, a teapot and a guitar. Oh, for Jacob from Bailey, I assume. - Yes. - It says right here, "From Bailey." Yeah, (giggles) it's a Smash Up expansion. I got another Smash Up expansion from Rachel the other day. So now, I have two expansions. - [Bailey] Two different. - Two different expansions. - Okay, oh, Teddy, this is for you you handsome little boy. Here are Teddy's labels for the year. Oh, this is very special. You guys are gonna love this. His ornament is a Teddy bear, and it says baby's first Christmas. You like that tissue paper. Oh, it's fuzzy too. - [Parker] Oh, it's smaller that I expected. - I have no idea. - Set three of three, do not open until all three sets have been found. - What? (Jessica laughs) - [Christopher] Who's the elf? Who's the elf? - [Jessica] Who's the elf next? - Me. - Okay, pick out a present. - Go on, pick a present. - I don't get it. - [Christopher] She can't open it until you find the other two sets. - [Jessica] But that doesn't mean search for it. - [Parker] I know where it is. (Jessica laughs) It's probably one of them. - Flimsy piece of paper, check. - Okay. - It's a yellow envelope. - Yes! - Let's see, set two of three, boom. Okay, my turn. Yes. - Yes. - Well. - They're too quick. - [Jessica] They're too quick. - We found all three so. - [Bailey] I'm ready. - [Jessica] Wait, wait, no, no, this is how it's gonna work, wait. The kids just found all the envelopes, and they're about to open their big present, and I have been waiting for so long for them to open this and find this out, because I've been keeping this a secret. I've almost said it like a hundred times. So here we go. So first, Parker is gonna open his. Bailey and Jacob, put yours to the side for now, and this is a team effort, okay? So Bailey, Jacob, and Parker are gonna work together to solve this little puzzle. All right, Parker, go ahead and open up your first set. - S, wait, I have S, K, E, T, blank paper. Tesk, tesk? - I believe it's the desk. Just see. Oh, wait, nevermind. (parents laugh) - [Christopher] You've got some more. - I, C, T. - I've got I, C, T, O? Are we aloud to open Jacob's now? - [Jessica] Not yet. Gotta solve the first one to open the next one. - Stick. - [Jacob] No, wait, wait, ticket? - [Bailey] Tickets to? - [Jacob] To, tickets to? - Tickets to? - [Jessica] Okay. - Wait, is it London? - [Jessica] (laughs) No, that's a bit too big. - [Jacob] E, E, S, - See. - see maybe? Maybe it's in order. See space. - [Parker] Tickets to see an. - [Jacob] Loss ange. - [Christopher] Uh-uh, you have not solved it. Los angle is not a thing. - [Bailey] Angeles. - [Jessica] Okay, tickets to Los Angeles. Wait, why don't you clear all the papers now. Move them all out of the way. - Oh, wait, I don't know what this is. Oh, wait, no, I know what this is. - "Hamilton"? (Jessica laughs) - [Jacob] Wait, wait. - Wait, the real cast? - [Jessica] The current touring cast. So tickets to see Hamilton in Los Angeles. - Oh my Gosh! (Jessica laughs) - Oh wait, I just remembered. We're all fully vaccinated. - [Jessica] You're all fully vaccinated. - [Duncan] But not me. - [Jessica] You're all fully vaccinated. This will be the first big venture we take together. I'll be taking you and Dad is gonna stay home with the younger ones, because they're too young to be able to go to the show. You're gonna hang out at Aunty Patty's house. - [Bailey] Oh wow. - [Christopher] Oh, Aunty Patty's house? - Oh my gosh! - So when you go see fancy shows like this, they often have rules about how old you can be to go, and for this touring production, you had to be at least five-years-old, and Duncan isn't five yet, and he's also not vaccinated yet, and we were trying to keep it to the members in our household that are vaccinated. So this is going to be our first big trip into a group environment. I know that they're doing everything they can to make the Broadway shows and the touring shows very safe, but it definitely is our first big venture in two years. So this is a huge deal, and we're all obsessed with "Hamilton". So I'm so excited. What do you guys think? - I'm so excited! - I'm keeping the L as a souvenir. - I feel like it's gonna be so much better when we actually see it on stage. - [Jessica] It's gonna be wild, and we have pretty good seats too. - Where? - [Jessica] Just like the side-center. It's just pretty good. It's good as I could get. - [Parker] It's a yellow envelope. - Train ride to Grandmas house with Daddy. - [Christopher] That's right. We have two tickets to take the train from our house to Grandma's house, and Grandma'll pick us up, and we'll watch a movie at Grandma's house. - What the heck! (Jessica laughs) - That sounds really fun, buddy. - [Christopher] You and I will get on a train, and the train will go on its train tracks, along the coast, past the beaches and the ocean all the way to where Grandma lives, and Grandma will pick us up from the train station, and we will have a movie day at Grandma's house, and then we'll get back on the train and go the other way back to our house. Your first big kid train ride. - [Jessica] You said that that was the thing you wanted to do more than anything else was go to Grandma's house. Isn't that cool? - That's the water. - [Christopher] Yep. - When do you go? - Probably next month. - [Jessica] Duncan, are you excited? - Yes, why wouldn't I? (Jessica laughs) - [Christopher] You enjoying that latte? (laughs) - So Ru clearly loves her new Starbucks squeaker toy. So I apologize for all the extra squeaking. It's just the sound of our life, guys. - Guess what? - [Christopher] What? - When I get to Grandma's house, I'm gonna show her this. - [Christopher] That's a really good idea. - Oh boy, so nicely painted as well. - [Duncan] But I painted that, I painted that. - Thank you. - [Duncan] You're welcome. - (yells excitedly) Another blanket, thank you. Rachel got me one too. This one is all white, and it's gonna go so nicely in our bedroom. - [Duncan] Mom, cardboard. - I'm so excited. I'm gonna be so warm this winter, - [Parker] Did you hear me? - Toasty warm. - A rogue cardboard. - Oh, this is beautiful, Christopher, thank you. - [Christopher] I haven't even felt the one Rachel got. - It's wool. So it's gonna be little scratchy. I know that's hard for you. - It's okay. - But I like it. - But it's heavy and like-- - It's heavy and it's gonna be so warm. - [Christopher] It's like a big hug. - It's so nice, and the other one I put on our bed last night, and I love it. Happy days, fancy blankets for Jessica. - Thank you. - Who's this from? - This is from Duncan. - Huh? - It's from you, right? - Yeah. It's a little broken, because you get to hit it. (Jessica laughs) - What is it? - You have to crack it on the ground. - So I have to crack it? - Whoa. = whoa. - I got this guy. - [Jessica] Oh, that was cool. - I got Toothless. - What a cool present. - Duncan, thank you so much. - Your welcome. - That's so nice. This one I got for Daddy. - [Christopher] Oh, thank you. - [Parker] And this one sort of comes with it if you want it. - [Christopher] Oh, a two-for. - [Parker] Yeah. - Did you pick these out? - Yes, with mom. - Ooh, barbecuing basting brushes for when I barbecue. - I have no clue what either of these things are. - Oh, I know what this is. This is for cleaning out my airbrush. - Cool. - Cool. - Thank you. - Your welcome, Dad. - [Jacob] It's from me. - From my Jakey-bear. (kisses) I love you. Genmaicha, yes, and I'm learning to say genmaicha instead of jenmaicha, because I always said jenmaicha, but so many people corrected me from Japan saying it's actually genmaicha. Thank you for helping me learn, and oh my goodness, this is my favorite. I love this tea. Jacob, thank you so much. - Here? - Yeah, give it to him. - [Christopher] Oh boy, another one for me. - [Jessica] Whoa. - Is this from you, Bailey? - Yes. - Ooh, it's a label maker. - [Jessica] Yes. - Oh, you're gonna love this, Jake. It basically you type in something, and it prints out a sticker label, and you can label your tools or storage bins when we put all our Christmas decorations away. - [Jessica] I believe Bailey wanted to use it with you as well. - Oh yeah. - She was pretty excited about it. - Oh, you want to get in on the label making action? - I love label making. - [Christopher] Let's make some labels. - Can I do this one? - Yeah. - Ooh. - Ooh, thank you, Luke. Who is this from? - [Christopher] That one's from Daddy. - Daddy. - Oh, and Parker helped me pick it out actually. - And Parker? - I did? - [Christopher] Yeah. - Thank you for choosing, oh, I have a feeling I know what these are. - [Parker] Oh, I did, I did help you pick out this, in the line at In-and-outs. - Oh boy, the line at In-and-out, okay. - [Christopher] It's like the one moment I wasn't next to you. - Oh, they're so pretty. It looks like there's a little sparkle to them. I wonder if that's, maybe that's from the bow, because they should be suede, and they're so pretty. Oh, they're so nice. Look at those shoes. I was actually in my heart of hearts hoping for something like this, because I was thinking this season it would be so cool to have like a Christmas shoe, like red shoes that kind of match everything. So I love this. - [Jacob] They're perfect "Hamilton" shoes. - They're great for going to "Hamilton" too. - [Christopher] Good "Hamilton" shoes. - Look, see, they match my Christmas attire. - [Christopher] Does the shoe fit? - They actually feel great. They fit perfectly. These are individually handmade. So the fit can be a little different depending on the shoe. Sometimes they fall off my feet. I can tell they have a really nice hold on my feet, but they're also not too tight, like they feel really good. - [Christopher] I'm so happy, I'm so happy you like them. (Luke mumbles) You want shoes? You want shoes? - [Jessica] Thank you for picking out this present for me, Luke. Oh, you want to wear them? (Luke mumbles) Oh, okay. How they feel? - [Christopher] Feel good, you like it? (glass breaks) - This is my ornament, right? - [Christopher] It's your ornament for this year. - World's best boss. - (gasps) Yes, oh! (laughs) - It says it all. - Hi. - Who is this for? It's for Lukeyno, Lukeyno. Can you open it? Can you go, open? What is that? (Jessica laughs) That's the most amazing there ever was. - Dadaroo. - Dadaroo, passing the camera over. - Wait, not this one for Dad, this one for Dad. - Oh yes, you've been waiting to give me this one. Is this from you? - Yes. - [Jessica] Yeah, Jacob experimented with the wrapping with me too. - Oh, I got a shirt, and it says, "I keep all my dad jokes in a dad-a-base." Good one. Oh, I like it. - [Parker] Right here. - Yay, I'm gonna unwrap this for you, Ru. It's little gingerbread men, but they're peanut butter flavored, because she can't eat ginger. - Oh, yummy. Good girl. - Good girl. - [Christopher] Oh, is that to Jacob from Duncan probably? - Is this from you? - I don't know. - I'm gonna open it and find out, okay? - [Jessica] Oh boy. - [Duncan] Oh, it's from me, yeah. - [Jessica] Is it your memory game? Wow, Duncan. - It's the one that we had. - [Christopher] So it's the memory game that we had? You wrapped it for Jacob? Thank you. - [Bailey] I think I know what these are. - Socks, to Mommy. - What, a present for me? - This is from Duncan. - This is from Duncan? Duncan, is this me and you? - We're having a date together. - Oh my goodness. - [Duncan] I setted it up. - I love it. What kind of food are we eating? - Peanut butter and jelly and cheese. - That sounds like a very nice date. To Mommy from Duncan, oh, and you did bubble letters. They're pretty cool. What could it be? Oh, Flame Rose, the classic eyeshadow. Wow, Duncan, I heard you were very insistent on getting this for me. Is that true? - [Christopher] He said it had to be red. - Red eyeshadow, wow. That will be a change for me, but I'm excited. Oh wow, will you do my makeup for me this week? - Orange, yellow. - That is perfect. So we could do, you could wear orange eyeshadow, you can wear a yellow eyeshadow and I can have red, and we can have like a makeup day. - Yeah! - Yeah! - [Christopher] You've got a range here, various reds. This is what he was really after when he was ordering, and then the sparkle reds, those are pretty cool. - [Duncan] And also the white. - [Christopher] Yeah and the sparkle black. - It'll make for a powerful wink. - [Christopher] Oh, yes. - What colors do you want to put on me first? - What color do you like? - Oh, I love that you were thinking of me. I like a sparkle. Oh, one of the red sparkle, all right. Wow, I just realized that this makeup even has a description on it, and I thought I would read it. It says, "Flame Rose, the classic eyeshadow, "classic red for a classic look, "offers glamours looks and stays you "in romantic atmosphere every moment", but anyway, it'll be interesting to see how my eyes turn out after this. It'll be a really fun look for me. It does say that it's cruelty free. - [Christopher] That's good. - It's good. - [Jessica] Oh, Bailey, this is one of your very big presents this year. - Whoa. - Oh my gosh. - Oh my gosh. Oh, I've never had these before. - [Jessica] They're so good. This is a monthly box of french treats and foods. - Candied onions? - [Jessica] Yes. - And this, oh, you won't kiss me for a month if I eat this. - [Jessica] Aw, yes I will, just brush your teeth. - French pork liver. - [Jessica] Oh, okay, nevermind. - This is a glazed ginger bread. - All right, we had a little bit of a camera problem, and Parker got one of his big gifts, and none of it recorded, and he really wanted to show you what he got. So this is what he opened, and it is Treats, explore the world through food, and it is a monthly box that he'll be getting, and it's got a bunch of stuff in it. What a country is it from? - Russia. - Ooh, so this month is Russia, and what'd you get? - I got this chocolate thing, and I'm really excited to eat it. - [Christopher] Look at all these interesting treats that Parker gets to try this month, and every month, he'll get something from another country, and he'll get to try it. - I know and I'm super excited. - [Christopher] And a postcard from Russia. - [Parker] And this is like the best, the worst, and the weirdest, and I get to rate my meals. - [Christopher] That is so cool, and Bailey, I don't know how much of your French box got recorded, but we did try some of these madeleines. - [Parker] I can tell you how it tasted. - [Christopher] Okay, yeah. Let's have a review. How was it? - It tasted like lemon goodness. - It was kind of lemony and kind of almondy and just really good, and I'm currently trying the mini crepes, and they're very delicious. They're like really good. We should get them more. (Luke mumbles) Here, you can have one. They're flaky, and then the inside is like really nice and savory. It's like really creamy on the, it's just really good. - That is pretty good. - [Christopher] Boy, that present really blends in with your outfit. Yeah, it's hard to see. - [Jessica] That's so funny. - Is this what I think? - [Parker] Probably. - I think it's my ornament. - [Jessica] It is your ornament. - [Christopher] Duncan loves playing with Play-Doh. So we got him a Play-Doh ornament with a, what's in there? - Penguin putting on a star for his tree and also a little igloo. - [Christopher] So cool. Quick guitar break. (Parker imitates playing guitar) - What, what, it's a car. Let's open it and see it. Oh my goodness. - Oh my goodness. - [Parker] That is so much bigger than all of us. - [Jessica] Whoa, that's your ornament. - [Christopher] That goes on the tree. - This one I bought, and it is for Jacob. Oh, now I remember. - Darth Maul, Star Wars. - Whoa - Do you have those mini-figures? - No, neither of them. - [Christopher] Whoa, new mini-figures? Very cool. - Because you gave me a present, I'll give you a present. - Thank you. - [Jacob] Oh, this is from me. - May the force be with you, Jedi Academy. Thank you, Jacob. - Your welcome. (Luke mumbles) - [Christopher] Is that Lightening McQueen. - This one's from me. This is to our rabbits, Sparky and Hazel. This is a wall toy for them. This is an nice cream cone, and this is a cupcake. I gave them the ice cream cone. So Hazel started devouring it and Sparky just ignored it. Whoa, whoa. - Isn't it Harry Potter or what? - [Jessica] Wow. - This is amazing. - Okay to Mommy from Parker. Oh, sweetie, thank you. - Your welcome. - Wait, this is like the third thing you've gotten me. Parker, you spoil your mama. Oh, I love this. It's Blooming Green Tea, and it's jasmine green tea, which is the best. It's so good. Oh, smell that. - Mmh. - Is this from Daddy? - [Christopher] I don't think so. - Then who wrapped this? - [Bailey] It's from me. - From Bailey. - Oh yeah, that's me. - (yells) An expansion to Pandemic? - [Bailey] I don't know if you'll like it. I didn't notice this until I got it, - Yeah, what? - That you're the disease. - Oh, chaos. - I don't know if you'll like that or not. - We'll see, we'll try it out. Maybe, fun, thank you, Bailey. Oh, from Bailey. You got me two things? - Yeah. - Bailey. - [Bailey] I didn't get you a robe. - You didn't get me a robe? ♪ And I got a robe, a robe for the dog ♪ (bailey laughs) ♪ And I got a robe ♪ - Yes, Bailey, my favorite broth. That was so thoughtful of you. Thank you, I love these broths. Did Daddy get me this present? - [Bailey] Sorry. - Legendary: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Game, I am so excited, and I have not even heard about this. 14 and up gameplay. - [Bailey] I'll play it with you. - [Christopher] It's a team working against something else game. - Oh, kinda like Pandemic. - [Christopher] It's like Pandemic. People say that they like this version better than the other legendary ones, like there's more to it than the Marvel one even. - Thank you, I'm excited. That'll be so fun. - Is there a musical version? - [Christopher] I don't know if there's a musical element to it at all, but I'm sure Mommy will sing the entire soundtrack to the musical episode while we play. - Once more with feeling. - [Christopher] Yeah. - So give me something to sing about. - [Christopher] I didn't completely learn how to play it, but I have been watching tutorials. - That's the most important part. - [Christopher] Yeah, that's part of your present is I've been watching tutorials trying to learn how to do it. - Oh, I appreciate that so much. Thank you, I love you. - Merry Christmas. - You know me so well, my love. - [Duncan] Dada. - [Christopher] Yes, oh, look at the narwhal you made. That is fantastic. - Here you go, Mom. - What is this? - [Parker] That's from Daddy, I think. - Daddy, more presents for me, what? Looks like a game. - I went to the store, and we got that. - Spirit Island, I've never heard of this game. It's a cooperative settler construction strategy game. - [Christopher] This also has high ratings. It looked interesting, looked like something we would play together. - Very exciting. - [Christopher] Did you get a book? This book is called "The Pigeon Wants a Puppy". Do you see the bird? - This is, I'm gonna read it to you really quickly. "By the way, do you know what I want? "What I've ever wanted forever, at least since last Tuesday, "A puppy, it's huge, the teeth, the hair, "the white nose, that white nose, the slobber, the claws. "I change my mind. - Whoa! - "I want a walrus." The end. (Luke mumbles) You're welcome. Yeah, what is it? - Whoa! - Whoa! - Do you know what it is? - Bubble. - [Christopher] Bubbles, right, good talking. - All kinds of different bubbles, Luke. Good for you. - He's so excited. - Is this from you? - [Jessica] Yeah. - Oh my goodness. I didn't think I was gonna get this. This is so cool. So these are Waza-air headphones. You can connect your guitar to them and it tracks your head. - [Jessica] I thought it was for editing. - No, no, no. You plug it into your guitar, and then you can hear it like you have an amp in the room. So when you turn your head, it stays there, and you can set it to stage mode, so it's like playing behind you like you're in a theater. - I wonder if we're gonna get a lot of just like. - Yeah, I'm just gonna be doing this - All right. - all over the house, and I'll be like, too bad you guys can't hear this. I sound amazing. Thank you so much. These are awesome. - [Jessica] You're welcome. - Let's go to Grandma's house right now after we do the presents. (Jessica laughs) - Oh, and the train? - [Jessica] He's ready to cash in. - Those tickets aren't for today. The tickets aren't for today. They're for next month. - Next month. We're going to Aunt Patty's house today though. - And Grandma's not even at her house today, so she couldn't watch a movie with us. - [Jessica] Today, she's at Auntie Patty's house, and that's where we're gonna go. - Do you want to open the bubbles? - Bubble! (Christopher laughs) You got pink ones. - [Bailey] He is shaking. - And blue ones. - Blue ones. - Blue one? - Blue ones, yeah. Which color do you want to do? Do you want to do blue or green? - Blue. - That one's pink. - Bubble. - Bubbles, yeah, do you want blue, pink or green? - Blue. - Blue, okay. Let's do a couple bubbles. Here we go. Are you ready? - Want you to blew it? Upside down. - It's the messiest thing I've ever. Okay, ready? - (laughs) Bubble, bubble, bubble! (family laughs) - we should've got him this for our Christmas present. - Ready? - We have a before. (family laughs excitedly) - You want to pop it? Pop, say pop. (Luke mumbles) (Luke laughs excitedly) Blow, whoa! - Whoa! - That's the first time he's done that, more? - More. (laughs) - Pop, pop? - Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. - Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. (children talking over each other) - Whoa. (Luke mumbling excitedly) - Luke popped that one. - Whoa. - Whoa. - Bubble. - What. - What. (children laugh) - Oops, ran out. - Big one. (Luke exclaims) - Whoa. - What. (Luke laughs) - Whoa! - Let Luke do it, let Luke do it. (family laughs) - I pushed it over. I'm gonna play with this right now. - [Jessica] (laughs) It's a very squishy penguin. Duncan, what do you want to name it? - Lucky. - [Jacob] This is from Duncan. - It is. - What? - [Duncan] This is? (bailey laughs) - [Jessica] Wow. - I love it. - [Jessica] Duncan, are you giving away all your favorite toys? That is so kind of you. - You're so precious. This was so sweet. - [Christopher] I think this is from me. It's more of a promise than anything else. - (laughs) See what our promise is. Seafood tool, ooh, does this mean I have a meal in my future. - [Christopher] Oh, yes. - This is brilliant. One of my favorite meals is crab, and I also really like lobster. I am a vegetarian, but I also eat seafood. So that's a pescatarian, and I will often say at restaurants that I'm just a vegetarian, because it makes it easier for people to understand that I don't want meat broth and fats and stuff. I was also a vegetarian for over 20 years. So I used to say I'm a vegetarian often just out of habit, but also to be very safe at restaurants, but I eat crab legs, and I'm so excited. This is brilliant. This is the way to eat crab. So those little tiny, they probably have them in here, these things are kind of helpful, but this is where it's at, and these are solid. These are really good tools, Christopher. Better than any restaurant tool I've ever felt. Sometimes you go to a restaurant, and they'll just give you this. - [Christopher] No, no, jokes. It's just a joke. - These are jokes, but I mean, altogether, the tools work well to compliment each other. Oh, this is the business right here. Look at this guy. You got to crunch them open with this guy, get the details with this and this. - Thank you. Let's see. - [Duncan] Oh my gosh. - Is this my box? - [Jessica] Yes, Jacob, Jacob is getting foods from Japan every month. - Yes, so cool. - [Christopher] You know what's cool, Jake? When we went to the Japanese market to pick up stuff for making sushi, I saw some of this stuff and didn't know what it was and wanted to try it, but hesitated to purchase it, and now you'll get to try it, and when we go back to that market, you can be like, oh yeah, we got to get this. It's so good. - This looks like some sort of matcha bar. - [Jessica] Ooh, it does. - See, I could be wrong. I could be wrong. (Luke knocks camera) - Oh, just passing by? (Luke mumbles) Yeah. - Matcha chocolate stick cake, I knew it. I love matcha. That is very interesting. - That's good. - You want some? - I like it. I like that it's such a different flavor than I've ever had before. It's totally different. - It tastes like matcha. - Warm chocolate. - Warm chocolate mixed with matcha, and then the texture is-- - [Christopher] Cake, like really-- - It's more like that cake from Italy. - [Jessica] Yeah, the panettone? - Yeah, the panettone. - I'm gonna eat this next week on new year's day, because it's a new year's celebration to eat one. - [Jessica] Very cool. - Oh my gosh. My calc. - It says, "Mickey Mouse Choo-Choo Express", and then, you lift the flap, and it comes with stickers. - Thank you. - Okay, you're welcome. To Luke, Luke, come here. - [Jessica] Lukey, we got a present for you. - We got a present for you. - [Jessica] Oh, I think you'll like this one. He's taking care of some trash over here. - [Parker] I think he'll like this one too. - [Jessica] He's on trash duty. Thank you. All right, Lukey, come get your present. - [Parker] There's a present, come on It's really cool. - [Jessica] Oh, what's it doing? Yeah, it's a pillow and it's lights, because you know how much he loves pointing out lights all the time. - [Christopher] And a star-- - [Jessica] And a star. Is that cool, Luke? Aw, night-night. - [Christopher] Ooh, it's baby teething toys. - Can you hold it? - [Jacob] Gonna put it right in his mouth. - [Jessica] Very cool, I think he likes it, Bailey. Parker, can you go rinse this dress? - [Parker] Yeah. - [Christopher] Thanks for rinsing that off, Parker. - [Parker] Your welcome. - [Jacob] Now you can let go of that while we're doing the rest of the presents. - [Jessica] I think he likes it. (Teddy groans) - Oh, I think he put a little too deep in his mouth. - [Jessica] That was pretty deep, shocked me. - [Jacob] He's like, oh my mouth can go this far. Oh wait, no it can't. - This is from Duncan to me. - [Jessica] Aw, Duncan. - Aw, that's sweet. - [Jessica] You gave Parker your Forky? - I like the other one. - (laughs) Okay, share it with whoever wants to share it though, okay? - Does anyone else want to wear it? - [Duncan] Me, me, me, me, me. May I wear the red one? - [Parker] Yes. - Oh my goodness. Fancy, fancy goodness, wow. - [Christopher] Parker helped pick it out. - Oh, Parker. - [Christopher] We thought it might go with some of your outfits. - Very fancy, thank you. - [Parker] And the design. - You guys got me two Tieks? This is wild, not expected. Thank you. - Both in the line of in-and-out ♪ Where dreams come ♪ - [Jessica] All right, I'm excited about this one. - I have no clue. - I know what this is. Oh, Parker, you're gonna love this. (Jessica laughs) - You did not do this. Is this a dream? - [Jessica] This is real life, Parker. - I love this so much. - Ooh, oh. - (gasps) A pencil kit? - A pencil kit. Yeah, so I can store all of my pencils. - That is amazing. - [Bailey] Oh, this one's for our chickens. - [Jessica] Okay, let's go to the chicken's present. - Oh, worms, worms. - Worms. - [Bailey] Oh, really? - [Jessica] Who wrapped that? - [Parker] Muah. - [Jessica] From Parker. - (gasps) Yes! - And guess what? Yep, a scratch and smell. I haven't smelled it. - [Jacob] How much is on there? - $10, mmh. - Ooh, it's a paint sprayer. I might be able to use this on the house - [Jessica] Oh, now you're talking. - and/or guitars. - [Jessica] I assumed it was mainly-- - More guitars. - Guitars. - What is is? - What is it, Luke? - You got it? - What do dinosaurs say, Luke? (Luke imitates dinosaurs) Go show the vlog. Yep, I had no idea. - [Jessica] (laughs) That that even existed? - Yep. - [Jessica] Isn't that awesome? - The infinity stones are the stones? - [Jessica] Isn't that great? - That's so smart. It looks like there's some new things. - [Jessica] It said that there were a few new elements. I think it's pretty much the same thing, like it is a standalone game. - This is if you get all of the infinity stones, you get this, which is worth 16 points. - [Jessica] What, so I wonder if you play till higher or if you just win. So this is one of our favorite games to play together, this game, Splendor, and this is a new version of it, where it's like Marvel version. I thought it was kind of the perfect gift for Jacob. - Hawkeye, Spider-ham, Captain America, Black Panther, Black Bolt, which I haven't heard of, Spiderman, Thor. Nava, Nova? I don't know. - I don't know. - Dr. Strange, Loki, Hulk, Captain Marvel. - [Jessica] Apparently it's just like a really cool version of the game. So yay. - It's cool. - What. - Yes. - I'm gonna tell some of your favorite nursery rhymes. Let's start off with Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again. - [Jessica] Isn't that cool? - Now how about hickery dickery dock. The clock struck one, the mouse ran down, hickery dickery dock. Let's try little Miss Muffet. Along came a spider who sat down beside her and frightened Miss Muffet away. - Okay. - Next, let's do Jack and Jill. - It keeps going. - Jack and Jill went up the hill and Jill came tumbling after. - [Jessica] What do you think, Lukey? - [Parker] He's really good, okay-- - And now, let's do this little piggy. (kids laugh) This little piggy goes wee, wee, wee all the way home. - Okay, this time is-- - Oh, I know. Let's do little Bo Peep. - Okay, it's never gonna stop. - I've got a sleeping baby on me now. - Yeah, you do. - I'm still excited. I'm just quite. Ooh, it's coffee, but it looks like really interesting coffee. It smells really good. - [Bailey] Can I smell? - It's so interesting. I've never smelled a coffee like that before. - Oh, I like that. - [Parker] Can I smell? - [Bailey] It has a background of sweetness. - Yeah. - [Parker] That smells like every single coffee I've smelled. - Starbucks. - You can't smell the difference? Starbucks, it doesn't smell like Starbucks. (Jessica laughs) This is from Parker. - Oh, yeah. - Yes. - Various tipped sharpies. Thank you so much. I am always looking for all three of these. So, thank you, and we never have these, the big ones, the chisel tips, - [Jessica] The bad boys. - And I need them often. - Oh my gosh. It's a puzzle. - [Parker] 100 pieces. - [Christopher] A puzzle of what? - Penguins. - This smells like lush, I'm gonna say. I thought I had wrapped this though, because it was in the fabric. So it threw me off. - [Christopher] No, somebody's stealing you style. - Stealing my style, did you like wrapping it this way? - [Christopher] Yeah, it was fun. It's fun to unwrap too, like surprisingly. I was a little bit like, "I don't know "if I'm gonna enjoy unwrapping this." And then doing it today, I was like, "Oh, yeah, it's a lot of fun." - It's been fun. What do you guys think of the fabric wrapping? - [Christopher] Judgy over here. - [Jessica] Judgy, all right. - I like paper wrapping better. - How do you feel about it if you know that you're helping the environment? And it is true the bigger waste is coming from large companies, and they shoulder most of the responsibility, but as individual citizens, we can also do our best to help our world. - I like the satisfactoriness of ripping open the package. - [Jessica] Okay, good talk. - It's very, it's like (imitates paper ripping). - (laughs) It's definitely lush, I thought, but it can smell like a pez dispenser too. The scent, the lush scents are giving off a pez aroma. I'm trying to figure, it's not this one. It's not that one. No, it's not that one. That one's like a little minty. Maybe it's a combo or this one. These smell good, Christopher. - It does smell like pez. - Should I open them? Are they special? I'm sure, I know Christopher picked these out special individually. Let's see. Dream cream lotion, oh, I love the dream. - Yeah. - That's a good scent. - [Christopher] That was a free sample. Yay. - I Love a free sample. Oh, that's gonna be a beautiful experience. Oh, Christmas Eve, and I'm gonna be gold. These are really funny to do, those really gold ones. The last time I got one, I was like a gold human, and my whole bed turned gold, and it was very funny. - [Christopher] You were like a street performer. - Yeah, I was. I was like a street performer that spray painted myself to be a statue. It was fun, it was a good time. Ooh, this is very pretty. - You're actually purple-ish. - It smells really good, an evergreen sort of smell. - It's like candy. It's smells like candy. - Oh, I think this is supposed to be a macaroon, because, oh, a rose macaroon maybe? - [Christopher] It's a floating rose. That's what that is. - Oh, it's a floating rose. - [Christopher] Yeah, I think so. - I think it's gonna make a bubble bath. It has the bubble bath feel. Ooh, Winter Wonderland over here. ♪ Walking in a Winter Wonderland ♪ - What am I doing right now? - [Jessica] You're opening a present on Christmas morning. - [Parker] No Christmas afternoon. - [Jessica] Good point. - We've been doing this for a long time. - [Jessica] We have. - Oh my gosh. I'm been waiting for this for a long time. - (laughs) Do you love it? - Yes. - What did you get me? - I'm not telling you. - Okay. (Jessica laughs) Oh my goodness, three homemade picks for guitar, and you know what? These remind me of, I love the dogs on them, by the way, they have the little Target dog and. - [Jessica] Good aim, Duncan. - Those were from my dogs from my-- - From your gift card. - Yeah. - And every time I play a guitar with this, I will remember the trip that we took to target together to get Christmas presents for everybody, because that was such a special time. - [Jessica] Oh my goodness, Duncan is this from you? - Aw, thank you so much. This is amazing. - You're welcome. - [Jessica] Taking a moment to rescue a spider. - [Parker] Totally a brown widow one. - [Jessica] No, I don't think so. Okay, Bailey's got the spider. - [Parker] Which I am terrified. - [Jacob] Just drop it down there. - [Jessica] Just, yeah, we'll get the cardboard later. Merry Christmas, spider. - Merry Christmas, you're alive. - Merry Christmas. - I'm opening Macaroni's present. - [Jessica] Oh, Macaroni, are you so excited? - [Luke] Yeah. - It's your own baby. - [Jessica] Aw, Macaroni loves it. Oh, they're playing together. Duncan, what a great gift. What does Macaroni say? - Thank you. - [Jessica] Oh, good manners, Macaroni. - Thank you. - I think this one's from Duncan. - Oh yes. - (gasps) Could it be? - [Jessica] What is it? - Whoa. - Flip it over. - Flip it over. - Flip it over. I can open it for you. - It's like dogs and cars. - [Jessica] Oh, what do you say to Duncan? (Luke mumbles) - Your welcome. - [Jacob] What's in there? - [Jessica] Oh my goodness. - Luke, look, little handles. - It's an onion or turnip. - Whoa. - [Jacob] Pumpkin. - [Jessica] You have a little cart and some vegetables for your kitchen. Will you open Teddy's last presents since Teddy's sleeping? Can you open it up? - Oh, I got him these. - [Jessica] What, oh, oh my goodness. That is perfect. He's gonna love those. - Can we open our stockings now? - Well, one person hasn't gotten their present from Santa yet. - It's me! - [Christopher] Under here, there's a button you can push on the side of that thing. Can you press that button? - It's right here? - [Christopher] Yeah, push it. (blower runs) (Jessica laughs) - [Parker] Technically, this is amazing. - [Bailey] Technically, only technically. (upbeat band music) - Thank you, Santa! - [Jessica] (laughs) Can you believe it? It's your very own bounce house. Oh, bouncy boys. - Can you go down the slide? - Yeah. - [Jessica] Oh, wow. Whoa, that's a fun game. - [Jacob] Do you like it? - [Parker] I love it. - [Jessica] Oh, Luke, you're gonna love this. First stocking, Ru has a very special treat. Jacob, can you undo that? Good girl. Go ahead and grab your stocking and open them up. - [Parker] This is mine? - [Jessica] Yeah. - [Parker] Oh, a Mandalorian sticker book, - [Jacob] Let's see. - [Parker] And this sticker thing. (Jessica laughs) I don't know what it is. (kids talk over each other) - What? - Luke. - Look at this. - Oh my gosh. - Thank you. - This is amazing. - Chocolate pencils! - Me too. I got a finger trap. - [Jessica] Yeah. - A deck of cards! - [Jessica] Lukey, this is all for you. - [Jacob] Yeah, it's all your things. - [Jessica] This is your stocking. Whoa, look at this book. It's Dumbo! You want to sit down and read it? - No, you're kidding me. Oh yes, this is amazing. - [Jessica] Penguin pajamas. - Well, that's not good sign. - [Jessica] (laughs) This is a super nice pencil set - [Jacob] It's leather. - [Jessica] with everything you need for really good drawing. What'd you get, Luke? An orange? That's the best part, isn't it? It looks like Ru is happy with her stocking treat. - I love this. They're not even squishy, but somehow it's, like, feels really good. - [Jessica] Yeah, it's really cool. - [Christopher] I put batteries in your car. (toy beeps) You push that button, and it makes noise. Push it. (toy mumbles) (Luke laughs) Ka-Ciao. - Okay, Teddy-bear, it's your first Christmas, and this is a stocking. There's all kinds of fun stuff in here, okay? We've got more binkies and what color are they, Duncan? - [Duncan] Orange. - Orange Binky. So we'll rinse those off for you, and you're gonna love this. It's a teether. You need this really bad, because you're gonna have teeth soon, and this is from Daddy. Daddy picked this out. It's a special little bath for you. It's a bear. Oh, I already washed this one off for you. Why don't you try this one? Yeah, isn't that fun? (imitates chomping) (Luke imitates chomping) Yeah, Teddy got more binkies, and these ones match that one, huh? And more bikies, a Poo Bear, and something completely useless to you, an orange. Everybody in the family finished their advent calendar yesterday except for Teddy and Ru. Okay, number 25. I'm so curious as to what could be in this door, because you've already gotten so many amazing things. Oh, Teddy-bear, it's a Christmas tree. Oh, are you excited? Hi, oh, good girl. What are you doing? Don't do that. - [Christopher] Ru, you want to see what you get today? Number 25. - [Jessica] Christmas girl. - [Christopher] It says, "Merry Christmas". I assume that this is made of yogurt, but I really don't know. - [Jessica] Oh, that's a special Merry, Merry Christmas. Good girl, ready? Oh, that's a big treat. She's like, I don't know about that. What is that? Maybe it's got a little peppermint to it too. (festive folk music) - My sister is hosting, sort of, like a modified cookie party tonight. So we are all packing into the van and driving to Colleen, Eric, Flynn, Macy, and Wesley's house, and we're gonna celebrate. - Family time. - We made it, it's a Rachel. - It's me! - We're gonna set up some presents here.

Jacob's unloading all the desserts. This is your contribution? - I did that. - [Christopher] You did that? That's awesome. - [Rachel] No one can eat it. I used hot glue to put it together. - [Christopher] What? - He said, "No one was gonna eat it." So he asked me to put the walls up, and we used hot glue instead of frosting. I want to gift by rule. - I kind of want to eat more. I want to just chew on that for a while. - [Rachel] I want to see what happens. - [Jessica] Where are you going? Oh, yeah, piano and lights.

Because during Halloween, Colleen texted me, "Do you have a mustache that I can borrow?"
