Our kids are 18 and 16 so it brings back such great memories of the fun, the mess and sometimes the chaos in the kitchen. You are building wonderful memories for those children.

    When I watch these videos of John with the boys, and even more rarely Brian, all I see is love. Being in videos is the last thing Brian wants to do but he does it because of his love for John. Lachlan and George in the kitchen are a handful but John has them join him with all their energy and personality because he wants to share his love of baking and cooking with them. And John makes these videos because he wants us to learn to love baking and cooking and sharing as much as he does. Thanks John for sharing your beautiful family and amazing recipes with all of us. You really are an inspiration and bright light for many of us.

It’s always so crazy and chaotic making cookies with the kids but I see it was a lot easier having everything prepped.

    I hope it wasn’t too stressful. But at the same time I don’t worry about it too much, because it was probably the cutest and most adorable thing this time of the year to watch. Children eating some of the Christmas cookies beforehand they need to be baked. Hopefully there were no tummy aches in the family. Merry Christmas and some sweet Holidays! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🎄🎄🧸🧸🧁🧁🍪🍪

    Merry Christmas John. Darling kids and family. I am an American expat living in Costa Rica. I make Many of your recipes and love them all. I share all my bake goods with the local"tico" community which is quite poor. They have never tasted such great candiles, cookies, cake, pies etc. Lol, they think I'm their hero, but in reality it's all YOU!! They even beg me to open a bakery and/or restaurante! I can't get parchment paper here and many ingredientes widely available in the USA. My mixer is small and nothing fancy but it gets the job done...eventually. My oven is not much bigger than the "Suzzie-bake-oven" from back in the day. Standard cookie sheets are much too large to fit, so making your recipes is an all day event for me. Lol. Also, my oven only has 1 temperature (375 degrees) so I've learned how to adjust to most baking although I tend to burn things quit a bit, or it's half raw inside. LOL. Love your program and thank you for giving options.
    May you and your family have a blessed Holiday! Sending sunshine and happiness from beautiful Costa Rica!

The experience, for all of us, got better as we all got older. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes. Happy holidays to you and your beautiful family.

    I loved this so much, I watched it twice, thanks for putting a huge smile on my face and sharing the spirit of Christmas. Last week I made cookies with my granddaughter (age 3) and had to give her a bath after because she was covered in flour and had cookie dough in her hair, loved every minute. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family.

    It's almost 5 am , tinnitus double noices in my head . I've been up for almost 2 hours, will also hubby snoring and my 3 year old son in my bed, was looking for some rain sound to mask the noise but found your family baking video and is priceless. I love it, beautiful family. Merry Christmas to you and family.

    And Brian was also doing well in the tasting department, George is more interested in how he looks on camera... what a great, fun video to look back on... oh and I'm sure the cookies tasted great! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, from Sydney.

    I love the quiet chaos. It’s so calming to watch them make cookies but so stressful seeing the kids just touch everything and get distracted.
