    I say next year, NO SWITCHING! Lol. I think some of the best, most thoughtful gifts we’ve seen have been from unexpected pairings.

    I love seeing the bond between CP and CM, it's so wonderful for your families that you encourage close ties between cousins AND their bio families too. All of the kids must have such large, loving families.

    Honestly I wish they didn’t switch, it would have been fun to see what they would get each other lol. I mean I guess I just don’t get why they would switch just so they could get a specific gift for each other when they could just do that any other day or as a normal gift on Christmas. it just defeats the purpose of the whole game. Next year, NO SWITCHING!

    I love the way both "Crazy Families" did picking names before and now exchanging their gifts! Then dinner at one house and dessert at the other, is such an equal trade! (That way both homes get torn up equally) 🤣 "Just kidding" It is so cool the way you guys arranged that this year! ^5 to whoever thought of that! 👍👍👍 Most of all I love how each person is so appreciative of their cousins gift!!! ❤❤❤

    I love this Family and everything about them, including CM, but their lack of preparedness, and last minute shopping gives me ANXIETY for them. I could never leave ANYTHING to the last minute, especially shopping for a meal/get together that includes a gift exchange. I could never leave all of that until the day of the event. I would literally lose my mind from the stress. Love ya tho!💕

I noticed how Braxton and Cody could also be bio brothers. But then Braxton and Anaveah does favor each other strongly. Really love all the interaction.

      @@Orangejuice2313 I can totally see that happening and I’m probably just taking it personal for them lol. I think I would just try to challenge my kids to buy for the people they got because they could grow their relationship and memories with more family and if you’re going to do a secret Santa you should just do it fairly like be a good team player. If everyone did who they originally received it might not have been as easy but also an opportunity to learn about that person more and just show them you care. I’d just be the Scrooge I guess 😂 I mean they can always grab a gift at dollar tree for a cousin if they wanted to so I like when I see the older kids getting the little ones things and the little ones shopping for the older ones. It seems so special with the gifts they choose for each other.

      I feel like, inevitably you’re going to be closer to certain cousins/siblings (I know I am for sure) that doesn’t mean I don’t love ALL of my cousins, I just get along with some more than others, that’s may be due to age, gender, personality, likes, dislikes…. I feel like I’m this instance the younger cousins would actually be happier with someone they’re closer with as well as the older ones.
      Of coarse it can seem unfair and sometimes it is, but it’s very obvious all of the kids love all of their cousins and siblings, the switches weren’t done with any malice.

    Just a bit of advice from someone who has been wheelchair bound my entire life be careful with the phone and cup holder. All of the ones I’ve had come on my wheelchairs are really cheap plastic and they’re magnets for door frames. Every single time I would go through a doorway the holder would suddenly fall down and rip off as soon as I went through doors because by the time I noticed it down I wouldn’t be able to stop quick enough to put it back up. I’ve been in power wheelchairs for almost 15 years though so that makes a difference in speed going through doorways, ect.
