We have 4 adopted children. Two sisters and two brothers. Our daughter's have two different adoption "gotcha" days (we call it the day they adopted us!) and our sons were adopted on the same day. We celebrate all three days going out to dinner as a family. We also celebrate "our met you" days by getting some sort of dessert.
I have two adopted children. I have never heard about adoption day. I LOVE THIS IDEA. My daughters day is next October, 30 years, I can’t wait. My sons will be 26 years. I’m so starting this. THANKS CRAZY PIECES🎉
I was adopted 65 years ago! My birthday is in June. My adoption day is in August. I was just a new baby. My mother always gave me a small gift as a child on my adoption day. My parents are both gone but my sister always makes some sort of sweet comment on the day.
I am long term fostering 3 siblings, slightly different system in our country, and we celebrate the day each one arrived in our family, every year. Special day for us. ❤️
The karma return vlog was the first video I ever watched, I'm still not sure how or why I found you guys but ive watched you (and crazy middles after a while as I didn't know they had a vlog) daily ever since, thats a few years ago now!.. Youre my go to after a long day at work. I sort my 4 children out, put them to bed, cook my tea and then put you guys on and sit and relax.. I work in retail and I'm naturally a easy going kind person, so when I get "karens" in, some days I just can't wait to get home, have my little routine, press reset and its all good again 😂.. Happy Gotcha day Ari x
After Halie moved out that's when I noticed that she loves her mom so much. Need more mother daughter times with her in the future. I'm pretty sure shell be so happy.
Happy Gotcha Day Ariana !! Definitely a blessing to the family!! It’s been amazing watching you grow up . I been watching since the beginning . It’s crazy how time flies by
I love that you chose to buy gifts for the Angel Tree instead. You have your memories of the day, just as you have memories from all the other times you were reminiscing about.
This video is so special I have been adopted for 14 years this past September. my mom never acknowledge my adoption date so the fact y’all do makes me feel like I’m great for wanting to celebrate it.
Crystal & Aaron, What a special day you do for each kid on their Adoption Day! How beautiful you show your unconditional LOVE for each one of them! Again, such wonderful parents you are! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh wow I haven't seen an angel tree since I lived in Florida back in the late 90's, early 2000's. My bank had it and I think it is an awesome idea and more people should do it
The relationship you have with each individual child is so amazing. especially considering you have so many kids. I only have Two and I pride myself on how close I am to both of them. let alone the amount you have. Sending so much love ❤️
Happy Adoption Anniversary, Ariana. You were blessed with such amazing parents and family. You will never be alone in life. Always Cherish these moments and it would be awesome for you and each one of your siblings to make a Special Memories album.💝💕
I love adopting from the Angel tree for Ariana’s gotcha day, it would be a great tradition to do together every year. I looked up the restaurant too, looks like the only one is in your area 😢
So early let’s go happy gotcha day Ariana hope you have fun celebrating your gotcha day with your family I love watching y’all family and love y’all videos so much been watching since the beginning I get so excited when you guys post most definitely can’t wait for more videos you guys have inspired me to foster and adopt and I am going to give kids a loving and safe place to call home in the future you guys never gave up on any of your kids they are loved forever and ever I remember when she first came into your home she was doing the bacon dance
I really want to try cooking my steak on a stone. That looked like so much fun. The mirror maze was a little terrifying to me but I want to face some if my fears in the new year. Buying a gift for someone else was such an amazing end to a beautiful day ✨️. We used to do angel trees but they don't do it anymore. You gave me such a wonderful memory. Thank you Crazy Pieces. Happy gotcha day Ariana.
Happy gotcha day Ariana 💓and crystal and Aaron u guys are amazing parents to all ur kids and that so amazing bc not many ppl get to have parents like this so it’s good to see we still have ppl like in this world‼️I’m glad God blessed me with amazing parents and blessed them with amazing parents like you guys 💓
Happy Gotcha day Ariana! I love watching Gotcha Days. I lived in a foster home during grade school for two years before I went back to my biological parents. I'm 45 now and still remember the hard times I went through in the foster system. I do have a question and it doesn't have to be answered. I am just curious. I know that you have biological children as well. How do you celebrate your birth children aside from their birthday? Or do they mind that you celebrate Gotcha days? I love how low keyed you are about it and love how you treat all of your children with such unconditional love. I apologize in advance for asking. I look forward to your next video!
Ariana, if you ever come to the UK, we don’t do A1 sauce, but we do have a sauce called HP sauce which stands for Houses of Parliament sauce which apparently tastes the same.
OMG Ariana! I love picking out my own gifts and letting my parents wrap it so I can be surprise on Christmas. Everyone thinks I’m crazy but it’s funny😂
We do gotcha days as the day they moved into our house. Adoption day happened months or years later. We used to do cake when they were still living at home. But now I just wish them happy gotcha day on facebook. Happy gotcha day to Ariana.
Hi crazy Pieces sorry I am so late watching your videos lately your family is amazing and I appreciate all of you thank you I had my bilateral mastectomy and got confirmation I am officially cancer free happy gotcha day Ariana I am excited to watch the rest of the video thank you again for sharing your lives ❤️❤️
My brother and his wife celebrate "Gotcha Day" on the day that each child arrived to the US by plane from Korea and the day they met first met their new child. Their mom will fix special Korean foods and treats from Korea that they like, to recognize "Gotcha Day"..
Happy gotcha day Ari!!! So glad you're part of our family love you so much and just remember how amazing and sweet and just awesome you are!!! Don't let anyone tell you different of they do you come tell me and your family we gotcha literally!!!!!
Happy gottacha Day What a great idea, I do hope some of the other kids want to film there day, this was really good Love you guys HERVEY BAY QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA
Oh my gosh I love El rancho go in there and they make fresh flour tortilla and corn tortillas everyday the corn tortillas are beyond the best and their pre-made masa delicious I'm so glad that you guys had fun
Fun fact, you can take hot stones from a campfire and put them in the floor of your vehicle on top of a metal pan or metal sheet, and it’ll keep you alive and warm through the night…………… apparently you can also cook a steak simultaneously as not freezing to death so.. 😂
It made me laugh when Ariana scared herself in the maze when looking out of the room of doors. If I had to cook a steak on a stone I would burn it big time. They need to call Ariana small foot. The angel tree is something we did every year in the city I used to live in. It is something special to do. I am glad that the mirror maze didn't have flashing lights.
You guys are always coming up with me things to do in your town like the mirror maze and the Stone Steak place! I would love to visit Arizona some day! Lol
Ari is definitely a pisces 🤣😂🤣 We are very picky about gifts!! I totally get what she is saying!! We love giving gifts!! But most of the time we secretly want to exchange the gifts!!!

I also love how Maddie is excited about the ball at the beginning of the video.
Shut up Joe
I enjoyed your new vlog tonight and merry Christmas everyone
I follow both families. Many years ago, I gave my son up for adoption. I hope he had a fabulous life, like you give all of your children.
Ummmm….
I can't imagine how difficult that must have been for you!! Bless your heart!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤

If you put in gotcha days on CZcams get some tissues and enjoy they are amazing to look at
"Gotcha days" are really popular.
One of my friends and her hubby celebrate every year they officially adopted their son and call it Happy "Gotcha" Day too!!!
Which two adopted children?
What is gotcha day?
Erin really gets me sometimes makes me feel like crying 😭 tears of JOY ERIN BECAUSE your such a good, awesome Dad.

Oh my goodness all the pictures of a tiny Ari are the best! Happy Gotcha day Ariana.
This was so sweet, especially hearing how Ariana and Aaron’s relationship developed.
Agreed

I never celebrated gotcha days with my boys. But then when I remarried, my husband adopted them and we celebrate that day.
Happy gotcha day! I’m happy to see you guys spend one on one time and not inviting any of the other children along. It makes their day more special.
You ran us all into the mirror Crystal! 😂 You guys got some cool places to go to over there.
I day never goes by where i don’t watch one of your videos. They have such a comforting vibe to them. Thank you for making them 🥰

Yes absolutely Aaron I agree,I'm 44 & still a kid at heart ❤ lol you all in the mirror maze was so hilarious.
I love the idea. Love how Aaron and Arianna scared mom at the end. Lol. The dogs are so cute.
Ariana is so lovely what a lovely memory for her love xx
Oh wow I haven't seen an angel tree since I lived in Florida back in the late 90's, early 2000's. My bank had it and I think it is an awesome idea and more people should do it
Nice that you all pick a angel off the tree. Way to go!!!
2:43 Aw! This was the day Bella got you "just because" flowers in the name exchange video 🥰
My daughter is the same way, if anyone loses something in the house she is the best seeker/ knows where it is 😅
What a beautiful special day. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Knowing where all the things are is a common hyperawareness side effect of PTSD.
Love seeing the one on one snippets. ❤❤ happy Gotchya day Arianna! -Rebecca

I love that you got to spend time with Ariana! ❤
Happy gotcha day Ariana
Ok so I had to go back and watch te reunion again. You guys were making out like teenagers. Love it 🥰🥰
Fun fact, you can take hot stones from a campfire and put them in the floor of your vehicle on top of a metal pan or metal sheet, and it’ll keep you alive and warm through the night…………… apparently you can also cook a steak simultaneously as not freezing to death so.. 😂
😂
My oldest daughter was one of those that knew where everything was. Sometimes it was kinda scary, lol
Thanks so much for the doggy footage. I love it so much❤
Mark's editing is soo funny😊
her knowing where everything was isn't a superpower if she was the one hiding the stuff there... lol
I think that’s a great idea to make it a one on one celebration. ❤
❤❤❤❤❤Thank you for sharing your video with us and have a Great Evening!
It made me laugh when Ariana scared herself in the maze when looking out of the room of doors. If I had to cook a steak on a stone I would burn it big time. They need to call Ariana small foot.

2015 till now is 7 years! This is something like we did, celebrate our 12 1/2years marriage and afterwards we realized it was 11 1/2 years🙈 LOL
You guys are always coming up with me things to do in your town like the mirror maze and the Stone Steak place! I would love to visit Arizona some day! Lol

Ari is definitely a pisces 🤣😂🤣 We are very picky about gifts!! I totally get what she is saying!! We love giving gifts!! But most of the time we secretly want to exchange the gifts!!!
Not crystal screaming and scaring me at the end.. lmao
You should do ornaments for the Christmas tree and put the day of the adoption on them
