    "Hope I don't fart!" 🤣🤣🤣 I was rolling! As always, your decorating is spot on! Can't belive what a pop of red can do. Your tree is beautiful. Good job, Aaron, for picking out a good one. Loved that it was the kids that decorated and did a great job. Your banana bread looked delicious. Have a great weekend 🎅🤶☃️🎄🎅🤶☃️🎄

    You know how to pick a tree for sure. I remember when my kids were young, poor things, I always ended up picking up what I called, a charlie brown Christmas tree. Empty spots, no branches. I used to call my mother to see if she could make it look better. Of course, being in my early 20's, still relied on Mom. 40 years ago now. And she made wonderful banana bread around the Holiday season.
    So what I'm saying here is, you are starting, and making traditions for your kids and future Grandkids. You'll see, your sons, and Cote will be calling you for advise and help. The Proverbs 31 woman. ( of course that's talking about the Bride of Christ), but also, the woman who takes care of her family, cares for her home, works on her surrounding with fine things. Demands, deserves, and gets respect from her children. (thats a big one, demand it)

    I will definitely be trying that banana bread recipe but without the nuts this holiday season. I am allergic to the nuts. Also between you and acre homestead I have learned a lot about searing meat before you put it in a crockpot. I made homemade meatballs with a cranberry chili sauce today. Searing the meatballs before putting them in the crockpot made them turn out better then any other time I have made them. Love watching your vids.

    Hi Jessica and sweet family! What beautiful memories decorating the tree with family and just a fun time.
    Your home looks so cozy and inviting all gussied up for Christmas.
    Aarons joke hehe, it’s a test to get into the families graces.
    Your banana bread looks yummy. If you soak the dried bananas in a little boiling water they won’t be as chewy and you can even use the liquid in pancake or muffin batter.
    Have a blessed day everyone!

    Ha! Reeve eats the bunch of bananas until there’s 2 left….then they sit..and start getting freckles. And I have to give the time limit warning. “You have 2 days to eat this or they’re going in the freezer” ha! Great way to use those dried bananas.
