This is our favorite time of year! We are doing a cousin name exchange with Crazy Pieces for Secret Santa! Can't wait to see who everyone got! MB01YI7PDEGLN3I
I love Max and Landon playing with the dogs. It was so cool to see how the sisters figured out how to share the ball. Some secret Santa when everyone is sharing who they got. 😂😅😊
I loved seeing all the kids together! But I miss seeing Cynthia and Harlan there as well. Also, I can't wait to hear when Destiny has the baby. I thought she was due on the 28th. Love you guys ❤
I would have guessed Kylie was by FAR the favorite, just because she literally is the majority of every blog since you moved back to the valley. I really enjoyed watching this vlog. Loved the dogs playing together..... that was awesome.
See like I said in Crazy Pieces video, I absolutely LOVE it when you all get together. The throwback of Lacy and Cody was great! They were so young. Those cookies bring back some great memories. Way back when I was in school they would have these same cookies every other Friday on soup day. Yep beef/veggie soup, grill cheese sandwiches and these delicious cookies. Kids would try and trade stuff for them.😂💜
Bex is always on Lacey’s hip..get her a “tushbaby” for Christmas! It’s where Bex can sit on her hip but it relieves pressure off Lacey! Love your family ❤
Like I mentioned on Crazy Pieces comments, I love when you exchange names with family. Loved the video and thank you for sharing. Would like to see another white elephant video again sometime. ❤️❤️🎄🎄Cody is a hoot❤❤I also thought Jared would be looking for a toolbox ornament to sneak over and put it on Kylie’s tree or hide it in her decorations ❤❤
Jacob is oldest now but i remember(old vlog video) when he first came to the family, he was so small & cutee and I remember all the older kids pick him up in the chair and it was the cutest things ever. I miss the old og crazy middles video they were crazy. Lacey once said the og old kids are the coolest kids and that so true. I loved the old video❤ Love you Crazy Middles. ❤
Loving the closeness of SHELLY & CRYSTAL lately.. it's truly shining through. Can't wait to see what you get one another. I've got ideas if you need help ladies 😊❤
Hi I have been watching since you all moved up to Saint Johns and can definitely say this is always my favourite video. I love seeing yous all together ❤. Shelley and Chrystal ending the vlog together was heartwarming for me as I lost my eldest Sister and best friend last year. Take care from Scotland
I believe you Shelley! My kids and I did the “spin the wheel” for names and then drew names too and it honestly came out the same results! It does happen! Cody looked like he was in a food drunk tasting those lemon bars! 😂 If you mixed Cody and Max, you would have my son!! He looks a lot like Cody but with Max’s personality and mannerisms. 😂❤😂
Lacie.. "I remember when all these little pieces would be gone when we were little.. change of voice 'slightly sarcastic' because we couldn't touch them until they were *settled* hahaha 😂😂😂
Hello crazy middles thank you for sharing yet another wonderful video I absolutely love when your whole family gets together crazy middles crazy pieces everybody is amazing thank you again for sharing ❤❤❤❤
I’m so glade Kylie is now so much more part of the videos I remember when she wasn’t and I would always wish she would be in the videos years later she’s a big part of them and rlly kool and funny we love you Kylie
That is so cute how mate and the other dog are playing one of the dogs drop the ball from upstairs then the other one catches so cute 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊😊😊
When we did secret santa at work, we would rig it every single year. As managers, we'd just pick the staff or fellow managers we wanted to exchange with, and then put everyone else in the pool. We had a $20 limit, so one year, I got my secret santa 20 dollars worth of pennies which I had to muffle with a bunch of stuffing so you couldn't hear the sound of money. I sat the quite hefty present down, and all the staff that came in for second shift was touching it and wondering what the heck I'd gotten him. Everyone sat just patiently waiting for his shift to end so he could open it, and when he finally did, everyone burst out laughing. It was such a great moment. Loved it! Can't wait to see what the cousins and now adults too, get this year!
What fun indeed!! I remember you guys doing this last year dinner at one house and dessert at the other but I do have a question does Mindy and your other siblings who have kids participate in something like this too? Or is it just your guises two families? I’m kind of curious on what would happen if you get all “the cousins together for a gift exchange
Next year you should gave a master lust at each house- example:Kylie drew Aurora name. Alex drew Masons name. The parent can keep master list if soneone forget .And if someone isnt there a parent draws for them and tells them Example Lizzy draws Hallie- Jake draws Johnathan.
Some people have also called them preacher cookies, we were making them when they were being called no bake and quick oatmeal no bake etc.we have been making for around 40/50 years, not exactly sure how or where we first got the recipe. Have enjoyed watching the family members getting together and having fun, Happy Holidays to everyone and praying that everyone has a blessed, happy, healthy, safe, holiday, keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers always, thanks for sharing your family with us all. We think each and everyone is special and unique in their own ways. ❤😊❤
Would be fun for the family to sneak into the other family members home and maybe put a family gift under the tree or add a decoration to their home and see if or when they notice it amongst their own decorations etc.or have a surprise elf on the shelf in their home doing a prank on them etc.there are a lot of ideas that you can get off the internet for the elf on shelf things that they do or get into etc.if I remember correctly couple years ago we saw several of ideas on Pinterest etc.we love how much fun ,love and laughter your family's have and seeing everyone come together ,united in love, have a blessed rest of 2023 & beyond. We can't wait to see you all at the family Christmas gift exchange,and what ever is next.Thanks again for sharing your families and friends,we are keeping you'll all in our thoughts and prayers always. ❤😊❤
We’ll have a family Christmas party this Sunday with about 30 people ! Exited to see the family especially because we’re not able to come together often !
I love Max and Landon playing with the dogs. It was so cool to see how the sisters figured out how to share the ball. Some secret Santa when everyone is sharing who they got. 😂😅😊

Lacey has always been one of MY favs!!! She is so funny. ❤Maddie and Maya playing with that ball is so cute!!!
I would have guessed Kylie was by FAR the favorite, just because she literally is the majority of every blog since you moved back to the valley. I really enjoyed watching this vlog. Loved the dogs playing together..... that was awesome.
Wait a minute that was adorable max and Landon playing with the dogs and the ball . That was pretty amazing and the dogs set it up ,adorable ❤
The dogs playing fetch on the stairs could be an insta reel. That was the cutest thing.
See like I said in Crazy Pieces video, I absolutely LOVE it when you all get together. The throwback of Lacy and Cody was great! They were so young. Those cookies bring back some great memories. Way back when I was in school they would have these same cookies every other Friday on soup day. Yep beef/veggie soup, grill cheese sandwiches and these delicious cookies.

How does Cody feel about being an uncle? Bexley’s laugh is precious!
@@---BAM--- I think its meant as two different statements ^^
What kind of questio is that?
Where was Cynthia at
@@vickeyhess247 either she didn't want to be recorded or maybe she had to work t sounded like the fun started at 430 on a week night
Love this! I’m happy the adults are joining in the fun this year! Looking forward to the exchange! 🌲 ☃️ 🎁
Bex is always on Lacey’s hip..get her a “tushbaby” for Christmas! It’s where Bex can sit on her hip but it relieves pressure off Lacey! Love your family ❤
Love when you all do Secret Santa and lovely seeing the adults joining in too. The dogs each catching the ball was so cute. Blessings.
Love seeing both families together ❤❤❤

Love you Crazy Middles. ❤
So much fun so many cousins ,I love it because family isn't the same when they get older in all family's.
You're right! Me, My bros and cousins when we were younger were like the Crazy Family then everyone became adults... it ain't the same
I've been waiting for this since I watched Crazy Pieces video this morning! Much love from Wilsonville Oregon ❤
OMGosh the dogs were so cute ... loved how she set it down and pushed the ball with her nose
I just love how you guys do this. Jarod I want your no baked cookies. Those are my absolute favourite. Hugs💕💕
Loving the closeness of SHELLY & CRYSTAL lately.. it's truly shining through. Can't wait to see what you get one another. I've got ideas if you need help ladies 😊❤
I love watching this every year!! Always exciting!! Thank you for sharing this special tradition with us!!!
Cody is so freaking hilarious! And Bexley’s personality is finally shining through. She’s such a doll!
I love Max. Bring back my childhood. He’s so mature for his age

Wait, I absolutely love this video and the other video from the Crazy Pieces!! We all love when you all get together!!
I believe you Shelley! My kids and I did the “spin the wheel” for names and then drew names too and it honestly came out the same results! It does happen!
Cody looked like he was in a food drunk tasting those lemon bars! 😂
If you mixed Cody and Max, you would have my son!! He looks a lot like Cody but with Max’s personality and mannerisms. 😂❤😂
There is a lot of people in the family but everyone has a lot of of fun I like your blogs 😊keep them up they are so funny
No bake cookies are so good. Our grandma taught all her grandkids how to cook them. But I can’t wait the hour to cool, I love them warm.
Lacie.. "I remember when all these little pieces would be gone when we were little.. change of voice 'slightly sarcastic' because we couldn't touch them until they were *settled* hahaha 😂😂😂

We called the no bake cookies “cow patties”. They are sooo good!
So happy to see Spencer and Cody they both look so different with their facial hair, so grown up.

It looked like Cody was about to slip into a food coma when he bit into the lemon bar! 😂

I was waiting on this second part!!!! Love this tradition 🫶🏼
my family used to do this every year I miss it ☹️
It was so cute at 6:30 when bex got scared and anavaya (not sure if I spelled it right) said sorry ❤😊
Love your family, always brings me joy
Anavaeh, I believe.
Next year you should gave a master lust at each house- example:Kylie drew Aurora name. Alex drew Masons name. The parent can keep master list if soneone forget .And if someone isnt there a parent draws for them and tells them Example Lizzy draws Hallie- Jake draws Johnathan.
The dogs playing is so cute
I loooove No Bakes. A Christmas, I'll make them and top each one with the little Holly candies.
Some people have also called them preacher cookies, we were making them when they were being called no bake and quick oatmeal no bake etc.we have been making for around 40/50 years, not exactly sure how or where we first got the recipe.
