- Late! Praise God. We tried to get this out much quicker but so many obstacles in our marriage, family, & routines went way off course. We weren’t even going to show y’all this cus it’s just not our best professionally- and I’m somewhat of a perfectionist. Here’s a Prime example of how we thought things were gonna be versus how they are actually GO- ing. I didn’t want to waste footage that we put a lot of effort into creating but as I started to actually step into the role of mother, wife, producer I could sense my plans falling out of my control. For example this season we actually decorated our home very nicely for Christmas!! It took teamwork and many daylight hours and many nights. But did you ever see a video on Christmas lights?? No! This husband and wife working duo didn’t have enough energy left to put out a well scripted show for you guys. And I hate that because I want to put something out there for y’all so I can point back to why we really make videos which is to show Jesus!!!
But Sometimes life is just going to be a jumbled pile of mess and we just got to accept that it wasn’t they way we hoped and keep going. We can’t be perfect. I can’t be perfect. I can’t do it all, always, and each time come out with a great thing. And I’m not talking about editing this video. I’m talking about patience with my children, being emotionally available to my husband, having order in my finances, and organization in my household. I can’t do it on my own! Who can do this on their own? I have to give myself over to the Holy Spirit to be able to tackle this everyday battle. On my own things are jumbled but there’s grace for that! On my own I have bad attitudes with my love ones but there’s grace for that. There grace and more grace every moment. I need to live in that grace. If I’m not able to live in the grace given to me by God through Christ Jesus how Can I extend that grace to my children, my husband, myself? Praise God!
Grace is what saves us from our own sin. It saves us from the guilt we feel when we can’t measure up. I think that’s why our Father said “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weekends”.
So let’s be like Paul and be “glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.” 2 Corinthians 12
So when those days comes that we know we couldn’t get through the battles of the day without the help of JESUS, we can praise him instead of ourselves.

I'm so glad you put this out now Just made me relive that feeling of Christmas I love watching all of you and I'm glad that it wasn't really edited It's so much more real. You see their joy . It emanates from everybody. God's blessings to you and your family.❤️
Amen.
🙏🏾💕
Well said
Thank you 💐
These children are so blessed to be centered within so many family gifts. Grandpa is musically talented and a math aficianado. Mom is not even human, some extension of a superior being. Dad is exceptional in the art of film, video, dance, reasoning. Aunts and uncles and family who are professors, writers, teachers, engineers. They will not understand the vast arena of combined knowledge and skill they have access to. The most important being growing up with family unity and love.
You feel loved always and know how to be treated when you go out
Yes, Grandpa is so talented. No wonder there is so much talent in the family ❤
This is so accurately put
@anonymousprivet1227....you are an angel for in a human form for real. What you wrote is giving me chills, it's amazing it's beautiful. These words gives life, they make feel sooo good n happy and i don't know why. I need people like you in my life. I wish you all the best. Stay sweet as you are. Love all the way from South Africa😍
@@ellayoti4086 Same to you. Bless you and your family.
The first mom in history to ever tell their kid to speed up while driving 😂 love you guys ! Happy new years 🤎
I have to say that too 😂. They be scared 😂
GIRL I WAS BOUT TO COMMENT THIS! 🤣🤣
Soooo true!!! I kept telling my son to slow down as I breaking for him in the passenger seat..😂
What about the minimum speed limit?
Have you considered it?
@@daisylopez9845😂😂😂
I’m a silent watcher. But this video made me cry. It’s so beautiful to see children grow up in a two parent home full of love and God! These kids are going to grow up and be amazing humans. Alena and Joe, thank you for showing us a perfect example of what the Lord can do when you surrender and worship him. God bless you all ❤ Love - all the way from Toronto Canada
Amaya is growing up to be a beautiful and intelligent young lady. Love this family. God Bless! 🙏🩵🙏
So True 💖

Parents seem out of sync tho!🙏🏾😔💐💐
I really enjoyed this...thx!!!
I love watching this family interact with each other. Excellent parentals to guide them thru life. Elena and Joe make it look so easy tending 8 kiddies. Not sure if I cud handle all that noise tho'. Good luck family
I love that the kids appreciate everything they got. Especially the books. I also love that fact that you and your husband always include your sister and her kids.
The little one who once cut her hair with scissors always makes me laugh. She's qt a character 😂😂😂
That little one is the one to contend with.... Going to be the Queen Bee. Like her maama
@@olydnk5270 😂😂😂😂
Do you mean Baby girl? Yes I quite agree, love to everyone from Italy
She knows what she wants so clever
@@lucianatrambaglio4881 Yeah, the small one with short hair 😂😂😂
You said she looks like a ‘Sponsored Athlete’. You have just spoken it into existence. She will be sponsored this year❤.
Ikr, Amen🎉 🙏🏾

I love that Grandad is there. He should get a free ticket to come every year! I love this big family happy completeness! I needed this. Thank you and May God bless every one of you, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Getting excited for no reason when watching people open presents 😂😂😂
😂
🤣🤣
Same 😩🤣🤣😂
The kids excitement is contagious 😄
me too 🤣🤣🤣
We love YOU, Mazelee family, whether the videos are “well edited” or not. It’s your transparency in Christ and family values that we really appreciate🙏🏾❤️❤️
I love the spirit of gratitude your children show, for the things you give them, and the things you do with them as a family. There's no sibling rivalry or jealousy between them...just love and respect for each other, their parents, and the radiance of God's love.
The children singing was beautiful! I got sort of choked up. It really touched my heart.
Their singing was amazing 👏 also playing the keyboard was awesome 👌 💯👍. Great video, everyone was so excited & happy. BTW loved the games & the participation. Happy New Year ya'll.
Thank u 💓 my girl R grow and got family of there own.. I miss this part of my life 😊 🙏 😊 🙏 again
I read the caption, and I have to say that your unplanned content is sometimes the best. We're here for faith and your family, and we got that! Thank you for giving us a peak into your life even if it's not what you planned. Love the MAZELEE fam!
The world needed this woman to look up to, thank you God for giving her this platform... You are such a beautiful woman inside and out.. love you guys so much❤️
It's refreshing to see kids who appreciate EVERY gift, even their clothing. A family that realizes that no matter what Xmas brings, their ❤ is the greatest gift oh all.
I genuinely loved this especially the song. What a blessing to be in this family. These kids always seem to amaze me every time ❤️
Your twin Amaya is driving 👏🏾. Wow time sure flies. I love to see how all your children truly appreciated their gifts, the presents suited their interests. Your videos bring a smile to my face. Keep them coming ♥️
Alena treasure Joe. Be grateful for all his efforts. Just looking at a large family who grow and mesh together and have a loving father and mother is a blessed thing. Treat each other with equal respect, and I hope to see years and years of you two together.
Grand-dad is a man of many talents.
Those games made me laugh so hard that my belly hurt.
This was enjoyable. 👍🏽
When granddad came on the scene with the baby I melted 🥰 I love his voice
This is exactly what it should have been. I pray that the Lord continues to bless you and your family in every area of your life. His timing is perfect, and since you are an open and willing vessel go with his flow.
GO AMAYAAAA❤️👏🏾 she definitely taking “keep your eyes on the road” seriously😂 love it❤️❤️💗
I just love how you have such a big family yet it's clear how you share your motherly love with all your babies!
I loved the girls' performance and grandpa's input afterwards! Beautiful, loving, caring, intelligent family!
“Never give up at the last minute; Never give up on your dreams babygirl”those encouraging words made my heart melt❤
I officially fell for dad, he so inspirational and smart from last episode of College exploring❤
Love the girls in Christmas dresses, the created song, the praise dancing, sharing meals, awesome celebration for observing the birth of Jesus.
Much respect to Joe for standing as a father to those 4 beautiful children. No matter what the society thought, their instilled values and norms, even our own family’s criticism, in God’s eyes your family is beautiful and your wife deserves respect despite of skin color and having 4 children in the past. Love conquers all. Stay blessed.
You go Amaya, progress. Growing into a very progressive and intelligent Young Lady. The puppy with the bag on his feet walking around in the background, was everything 😍.
This is what “family” is, love, respect, joy, prayers, and it goes on, and on. Stay blessed family. Your kids are so appreciative ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This family is the definition of the phrase..."Well rounded"...job well done Maze Lee fam...🖤🖤🖤
YES INDEED MAZE AND JOE. U BLESS MANY. HANG TOUGH. PRAISE TO THE MOST HIGH GOD.
You two have done such an amazing job raising these young ladies to become smart, kind talented women. I love the young ladies singing and playing ability so beautiful.
This house is full of love ❤️....
It's so loud!!
Wow I would love to have more than one kid, you get to watch all the excitement and the praise from all the kiddies, this is the life ❤❤❤
Grandaddy is amazing to be surrounded by you guys stay tight ❤ great instructor Grandaddy
I loved the aunt giving books as gifts to all the children. Reading books and learning is so much fun! All your games were so much fun, but my favorite was the candles
This is one of my favorite videos of yours!! I love how every single kid's personality shines through in this one, seeing their excitement and the camera shyness just fall away was so fun. I love the energy and vibe, and how you let the kids be as loud and energetic and excited as they want to be! I grew up in a large family with mostly girls so Christmas was always loud and wild, and I have the best memories of those times. I'm so glad you let your kids be kids (loud, rough, wild, lovable, goofy, fun, everything!) no matter what the age or gender. It's the sweetest thing to see them grow w the freedom to be whatever they want, created in God's image ❤️
Faith, family, fun, and a lot of love are definitely this family. God first in everything you do. A family that prays together stays together. I admire how your family can celebrate Jesus in a fun-loving way and are not ashamed to make video content and deny Him in front of the world/viewers. Thank you and God bless you all. Every time I view your videos it puts a smile on my face.
I love how theses kids are excited and grateful for the small things… ❤❤❤ they are very appreciative…! ☺️ Good job mom & dad..!!!⭐️
I genuinely love this family so much. The kids have grown up so well. You guys are amazing people!
I absolutely love that the older girls are celebrating their body scrub as much as baby girl with the hoverboard.
I love this family, Alena and Joe you both ended your game with an empty frying pan, you had me in stitches. Your family is very blessed. Amayah and Kylie dueting on the piano, excellent. All the children just having unadulterated fun and freedom of expression. Daddy in the mix imparting knowledge on the piano, Amayah driving with confidence, may God continues to bless your house hold abundantly. A blessed and progressive new year to you all.
I LOVED all the creative games y'all played, the positive energies everyone possessed, the FAMILY togetherness, and the joy that spreaded throughout the house.💯 I also loved how everyone was so excited to READ BOOKS 😍😊👍🏽
Its so good how appreciative they all are of each gift! Priceless.
YOUR DAD IS SUCH A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE. He always aMazes me. I see where these strong foundations are layed looking at you sisters. I gathered your late mom was the primary person laying these strong foundations. Loved how Kylie and Maya played and sung. Maya you look great and confident in front steering that car. Wishing you all an aMazing 2023 and that Maya will first stay in the US until south east asia is a safer place. Hope you are fine in Cali with the floods. Not feelig too great about Maryland(Washington9 area either. Stay safe!!!
Amazeleeng family.😊Loved that all activities involves all ages. The baby is Joe’s twin, Grandad playing piano with Akylee was awesome. The comp between Azaio and Arazo was just teriffic 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Wishing the family continued blessing for 2023 and beyond.❤
You are such a genuine, full of heart of faith family! Best Christmas vlog of anybody I've seen and joyous from beginning to end. Oh my stars, Joe, 'literally' every meaningful word on your necklace is well deserved and explicit to the point. And Elena, you gorgeous, phenomenal woman, you! Your admirable compassion and positive perspective of life shows through all of your children! Have a Happy New Year!
Luar biasa♥️
The girls sang beautiful ..lovely family with God in the centre 🤍🌟
Am a MUSLIM I don't celebrate Christmas but I love seeing seeing new gifts and I love seeing happy people may Allah bless your family Amina
I'm so proud of Amyah behind the wheel... I remember when she was such a little one.... Awww! 🎄💚🎄☃️
Your videos are always so beautiful and therapeutic to watch. They give me this warmth,joy, kindness and love that is so authentic and pleasing. Love how raw you guys are, and your love for Christ? So inspiring!!!!🥹❤️❤️❤️
It gave me so much joy hearing all the squeaks and excitement from the kids. Yep it’s all about the kids. These are the emotions they’ll never forget ❤️❤️❤️
Wow Akylie is so big now and she’s really beautiful. Such a beautiful family
Amaya is growing up to be so stunning. She can be a model. I love how positive, understanding, and funny your family is.
Normally with families on Vlogs I have a favourite child . but this family. I literally have a weak spot for every one of them what a gorgeous family xxxxx
Wow! That was a lot. I'm exalted. I felt like I was there. You guys had a ball. I love the different games you played. I love how everyone including the babies were engaged. Y'all need to adopt me.. I want to have fun too. Love y'all! Peace
Well Done girls I pray God continues to guide you on the straight path of righteousnes.
Take care family and all the best for 2023🙏🏿.🇨🇦
It brought me so much joy watching your kids open their gifts. My 4 babies are adults now, and I don't have any grandchildren. I miss the noise of happiness, joy, and excitement that fills the house when kids are around. You guys are truly blessed 🥰🥰🥰
I love watch the two older girls bond and love for each other.
Your dad is so dope!! Always impressed!!
I love the generational gatherings. Having their grandfather(and extended relatives) present, more often, further enlightens their awareness of self, life, knowledge, family and spiritual blessings.❤️
Omg the faces that Azaio was making gave me “Wednesday” vibes. Please tell her to reenact the Wednesday dance. That would be soooooo funny and adorable.
This was the best MazeLee Christmas so far. I hooted and belly laughed throughout. BTW: Arizo is fierce in cups and Akyli has that singers breathe for candles all powerful. I love Cali for the ability to enjoy snow and beach in the same day depending on the direction you drive. It's all wonderful. Happy holidays MazeLee family. Thank you for the joy.
Love this family...LOL gonna learn, laugh, but always enjoy!
The family praise and worship with liturgical dance was wonderful! It's so refreshing to see and hear children worshipping God!!👍
This is my favorite of your videos yet because it's not scripted and beautifully flowing naturally. Love the whole family being together and love love your Dad he is such a sweetheart of a grandparent and family elder
Love Amaya she's very discipline and growing into a fine young lady ❤️
Alana, Amy's is your TWIN! I LOVE YOUR FAMILY. I love watching the little ones grow. Anxiously wait to see Akylee's endeavors. May God continue to bless you guys. Sending love from Philadelphia 🍕 🥨 🔔.🥰😍💝💖💌💕💞💓💗
She has her momma whole face, beautiful 😍
The new baby boy looks just like his daddy and brother so handsome. Blessings
This has been soooo much fun, just watching you guys. MazeLee did it again - the sweetness of a happy family.
They are all so excited and grateful 🙏 Love this family
Your children are such gifts from God, they all have a uniqueness about them, you & your husband have done a wonderful job raising such respectful individuals. I really love your family God bless you all!
I just want everyone to acknowledge that Ajoui does not miss anything...she wants to do everything everyone else is doing, she has so much courage to take it on....she's growing so fast. Is that the correct spelling of her name?
I does not judge nobody home but Joe U R a blessing U building that house to were it's at today I watch every video I A beautiful soul, thank U for being a wonderful man N to show the world don't give up.. U R a blessing from Jesus Christ god bless your soul 🙏🙏🙌💯♥️❤️

Havent watched this family in a while. Everyone has grown up beautifully
Its INCREDIBLE how much Amayah is the spitting image of Alena. I love it!
Beautiful music, lovely words, grateful hearts ladies, well done!
I can never stop saying, I love to watch you'll. Everything you'll did over the Christmas break was awesome. I love how the children loved everything they received. The game time was awesome. You'll are a blessed family.
You did it! Families, everything is messy and unpredictable but so much joy in the journey. It's going to go by soo fast. Embrace all the memories!
Ajedi's gift to appa was so cute♥️
What a wonderful treat you gave us. I truly enjoyed all the family games you played, watching the preparation of the meals, Amaya driving, Grandpa cooking and playing the piano, the performance by the two older girls (young ladies) and the friends over, family bike riding including grandpa, the sleding, the books the auntie gave to the children. It was all very,very delightful and thank you so much. I could not stop laughing. Nothing like family. Loooove your whole family and many blessing to ya'll in the New Year 2023.
I can not believe she is driving already. They are growing up so fast. Time flies.
Wow Amaya and her little twin Arazo even have same personalities
This video was perfect Mazelee family all the way down to the singing which made me cry by the way. When ever im going through a rough time your videos make me feel loved, I love you guys keep your heads up YOU GOT THIS❤
What an incredibly talented family all around; each one of these kids has the gene for excellence. At first, when I started watching, I would say how many kids is this lady going to have, but it has been a fantastic journey watching the growth.........Kudos!
I love the excitement on all their faces. It's so nice to see them so excited
Each moment of The kids opening their gifts and expressing their excitement is literally melting my heart
