I noticed the pickle ornament on the tree! My MIL, whose parents were German, bought us a pickle ornament when we had our first child. We always had two because we didn’t want to make anyone sad on Christmas… because one didn’t find it 😊
For our cats I got a motion activated device that just sprays air. They did not like it at all! After the first year of using it, they never bothered the tree again.
Start a tradition and buy your babies an ornament or decoration every year, put the date on it. When they get married, gift them their tote of memories ♥️
Each person in my family gets one new ornament every year selected to fit each of our personalities or interests that year, and we put our names and the year on every one
I love the tradition
I started this 28 years ago when my son was born and my daughter 24. As they got older the ornaments were based on their interests and hobbies. We’ve added her fiancé to the list now. I will gift for their first Christmas after they get married
@@deannamoore7519 I started with my kids now the grandkids, yes each year based on the interest. The kids always got excited when they found theirs and hung it on the tree 🎄♥️

My mom and I would go to Christmas Bazaars & Christmas Festivals @ schools, fire houses, first aid houses, churches & flea markets and buy handmade ornaments & bring them home and date them, hang them on the tree when it goes up. It’s been 42 years since my daughter was born (1981) and we still buy ornaments every year for her and her husbands tree. It’s such fun. The whole tree is loaded with nothing but homemade ornaments.
On your babies first xmas write on the back bubs name and year so all the kids you have you can their own one.
Wow guys, Ryker is really getting big, he is adorable 🥰
Trace, you are so professional at doing commercials! These companies should hire you. It could be a side gig!
And, I am pleasantly surprised at how quickly Ryker has filled out! I love his chubby cheeks!
Good job Mommy and Daddy, Ryker is so big and healthy. Just plain gorgeous
We always got a Christmas tree for our daughter for her bedroom. It started with a little tree from five below and dollar tree ornaments . Now she’s almost 21 and has a full size Christmas tree in her room. Every few years she’s changes her tree theme. Around her teenaged years she decided to decorate her entire bedroom for Christmas. She has a Christmas comforter and mini lights and pillows. I swear she can put pictures of her room in a magazine. She love’s Christmas. She looks forward to it every year. I know she will do this with her babies one day. I pray I’m here to see it!
I enjoyed your video, Ryker is precious. Teach Ryker about giving more in this season. 4 gifts are enough for each of us,
1 Something to WEAR
2 Something to READ
3 Something we WANT
4 Something we NEED
THEN teach him the JOY OF giving and extra fun JOY in giving is when your gifts are anonymous. Christmas traditions 🎄
Baby Ryker is so cute he looks just like Trace and Trace's Dad....You can get baby's first Christmas ornament and then get him one every year for the tree..
He is a beautiful baby it looks so pretty in there I kept the cats out the tree with a spray bottle every time they would get into my tree I always spray them
I love your Christmas decorations! The garland that highlights the nativity scene is awesome! Treasure the time you spend with your family at your grandparents' farm! Have a blessed Thanksgiving! ❤️🙏
Our tradition with our children during Christmas was a tabletop Advent wreath. The middle candle is the candle representing Christ. We would read devotionals suited for the whole family four weeks out leading up to Christmas and we would light candles 1 through 4 each week and light the last one representing Christ on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. We also had a birthday cake for Jesus!
The first year we got married, we came home and the cat had dragged the whole tree down to the ground. In putting it back up, we didn't hang any ornaments on the bottom branches that helped. About the trash, we have racoons and opossums out back who love the trash, so we put bungee cords on the lids, to keep the lids down. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and thanks for sharing your lives with us. Trace has always been our favorite Bates
For your manger scene, you may want to try Blue Tack.. it’s like sticky putty, and you can stick them to whatever,but it won’t hurt your furniture. That’s what I do with mine, so my cats don’t knock them over. And you can reuse the Blue Tack. You just pull off pieces and stick at the bottom of each piece and it’s stays. Hope that helps!! ♥️♥️♥️
Yes! Agree! That stuff is awesome! I also use it on the corner of pictures on the wall… to keep them straight.
@@hardysfan316yes!! I used it to hang those cut out bats for Halloween on my one wall.… it didn’t take the paint off or damage any walls! That’s a great idea to put it on pictures to keep them straight! I’ll be doing that today! Thank you for posting that! Such a great idea!! ❤❤
Trace, you are at your best and most natural when you are selling something ✨️ now i want that vacuum
I know, right!
Everything thing is so pretty great job !! I know y’all enjoyed the movie and the hot chocolate looks so delicious !! I enjoy watching y’all Ryker is adorable and growing so fast. ❤️🎄❤️❤️

It Happened on 5th Avenue is one of the best movies ever!! I can’t wait to watch it this year. It will be bittersweet, because I lost my sweet Mom one year ago tomorrow, 11/19. And it was one of her favorite movies. Ryker is so precious. Maui, too. God bless your time at the farm next week. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🍽️🙏🏼🦃
Everything is beautiful! Love your family!❤
Love your Christmas tree and all of your Christmas decorations, especially the manger scene! Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
I have always let each one of my children pick out an ornament for the tree each year , I did the first year or two. When they got married and moved out they had a good collection of different ornaments. Very eclectic pieces too. But a lot of memories. I also would get one too. Because when each child left with their ornaments my tree would get more sparce. At the same time we would have so many when they were older almost every branch was full 😊
Everything looks beautiful 🎄🎄
Love the video. Glad you guys are going to papa Bill house. Miss see them on the show. Have a safe trip ❤
One tradition my mom did with my brother & me was to have our own little tree to decorate in our bedrooms. I’ve continued that tradition with my children & they enjoy it so much. We love to watch Christmas movies together every year, & we try to designate one night to ride around to look at Christmas lights. My birthday is in December, so I try to make that part of my birthday celebrations. There are lots of things we’ve done to celebrate through the years, but these are the things we always do, no matter what.
My parents still do that’s my Christmas present when I need another one😅
I do this with my girls. They look forward to it every year! We got "my little christmas" decorations from Hobby Lobby. They are so cute
We always anchored our trees to a wall with eye hooks and wire. We had 2 kids, 2 dogs and 1 cat. That way if they knocked into it, it could not fall down! You could anchor yours to the window frames. Use fishing line so it doesn’t show.
This method is also recommended for chest of drawers or hutches, anything that’s too heavy.
Lovely tree and decorations. Ryker is growing quickly, adorable too. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
For Mauie it would help to add some little unbreakable ornaments at the bottom that he can play with just for him
You two are the best parents. You both were raised by great parents.
I love the way you decorated your house!! It looks beautiful!! Hope ya'll have a happy Thanksgiving!!
Happy first Thanksgiving, Ryker!
One of our favorite traditions was wrapping 24 Christmas books which I kept in a basket by the tree. On December 1st, my daughter would chose a book and it would be her bedtime story for the night. It was so much fun and promoted a love for reading, which I loved. It is like a book advent calendar. Ryker is too young for this right now, but this might be the perfect time to start searching for books so you are ready for the future. We used all kinds of Christmas books, books about Jesus' bith and silly books too. My daughter got married this year and I have the books ready for her if/when you has a baby. Have fun with Ryker, it flies by so fast.
I love that Eureka . Ryker trying to talk to mama is so cute . I have always loved to watch a baby looking at and adoring mama . The decorations look great.
Looks good Trace may you all have a very blessed Thanksgiving
We have four cats, and they all love climbing trees. We either use a flyswatter, or a spray bottle.
Ryker is getting so big. I can’t wait for next weeks blog.❤
Everything looks so beautiful! Enjoy Ryker's 1st Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Love your decor for Christmas. I would buy a star ornament and hang it from the ceiling near the nativity set. Hugs 🤗
Ryker is growing so fast!
nice decorating - those lots atop the cabinets are the perfect addition to the nativity scene.
The greenery is nice behind d the manger scene, but I would love to see creative Lydia transform a box into a stable surrounding your beautiful figures xx
Ryker is adorable!❤😊

I watch that Christmas movie every year. One of my favorites ❤ so good.
Looks amazing and congratulations to you both and baby first Christmas.💝🌹🌹🌹
We had 2 cats that climbed up our Christmas tree and knocked it down. Our boys were outside waiting for me to get home from work to break the news to me. We put the tree back up and cleaned up all the broken German ornaments they broke. Then I took Fishing line and cup hooks and ran the line through the tree and they never knocked it down ever again. We would hook the tree with fishing line every year.
Trace, you and Lydia are so humble and kind. I so enjoy watching your posts!!
Your home looks beautiful. So cozy and such pretty decorations. Ryker is precious.

Even though I'm a grandmother and a widow I still remember the joy of our early Christmases together. Such joy and excitement runs through me as I look at the over 40 years of Christmas collections. Merry Christmas.
Can't wait to see how papa Bill and Jane are doing. Hope you get some good video of them. Love you and Lydia and Ryker. So thankful you keep Christ in Christmas. Your tree and decor is so pretty. I love it all. You have great taste. Be blessed. Love the Bates.
Happy Thanksgiving have a wonderful time with family.
I love how it all turned out. Putting the nativity set up and with the lights and garland is so pretty. You guys did a great job. We did the tradition of getting our kids a new ornament each year. They each had a different Christmas themed box for theirs to go in and they had fun hanging them up. Ryker is adorable. 🎄😊Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Trace your expression and laugh, when Lydia says I love Shopping ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
I love that movie! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!
I started an ornament collection with my son when he was a baby. I got him 2 ornaments every year. He's 22 now. When he moves out, he will have his entire collection to take with him for him in his home.
This will be a wonderful first memory. ❤
I love that movie, too. Such a classic. Happy thanksgiving to you and your sweet family.
Mine is always getting them a new ornament. Now that they are older we have moved to working towards sceneries of their choice ♥️
Beautiful Christmas tree 🎄 and decorations. I just love this time of the year and my son who is 13 loves to help decorate the Christmas tree. I’m going to be putting our tree up in the next couple of weeks and so looking forward to decorating I just love the twinkly lights. Sending love to you all xxx
My devotional tonight was being thankful in good times and bad. I'm thankful for a good warm home and 60 degrees. Stay warm and enjoy your -8. Enjoy all your videos.
I must say I really enjoyed your Vlog. Ryker is so cute and adorable.And your Christmas tree is beautiful and your decorations look amazing.Thank you both for sharing.🧑🎄🎄

Great video!! All the Christmas decorations look great
What a sweet family! God bless you…
Can't wait to see the new vlog and hope you guys have a great Saturday afternoon, evening and night with baby Ryker and can't wait to see the Christmas tree and happy early Thanksgiving to you guys and can't believe Ryker is 2 months old and he is so cute and adorable and let's hope the cat doesn't take the decorations off the tree.
I can't get over how much Ryker has changed already , he looks like Lydia's side , he is so adorable..💙
Try citrus sprays on just the bottom of the tree , you can make your own with water and sqeeze any citrus in it , or just put slices around the bottom branches..🍋🍊
I have also heard of using citronella spray on bottom branches...
Tree looks really nice..👍🎄❤
LOVE WATCHING YOUR LITTLE FAMILY. YOUR BABY IS SO HANDSOME
You guys are so adorable. Ryker is so sweet.
I enjoyed this . Thank you !
Looks beautiful❤
