Arrested For Vlogging Storytime // Vlogmas Day 4 

Omg guys - so glad Nate didn’t fly his drone in Brussels!! Lol great story 😂🙌🏼

I’ve watched you guys for YEARS and these last few vlogs have been some of the most ‘relaxed’ you’ve seemed in ages. You are not selling anything, seeing the good (laughing deliriously through tiredness), the bad (poosplosions) and the love! The story was just the best! 5 years ago feels like yesterday!

LOL tapping on your throat and saying "I am worthy of speaking my voice." That cashier / pharmacist deserves a raise lol! Hilarious

I can’t imagine filming and editing to upload everyday with a baby!! Good on you guys stronger than I could be LOL

I am worthy of speaking my voice 😂 I was crying as I'm making affirmation cards while I'm watching. Love your vlogs thank youuu

Love the Christmas vlogs!!! Love that you supported Eamon and Becs Habit! Watch flying the nest and they show you what they pack in one video for baby when they travel.

Until I got to the middle of the vlog, I thought you had been arrested for vlogging a storytime session in your local library or something!! Makes more sense now!

Saw some Habit Tea in the beginning, love that, many prayers into the universe toward Canada right now! Love the pile of travel stuff! It only takes one time of taking too much on a flight and then you rethink the 'just in case' mindset as you could bring your whole house - we tried one flight across the US when my daughter was about 6 months old! Loving Vlogmas!

I’m enjoying your Vlogmas so much. I can’t help smiling, you guys seem so genuine, happy and relaxed, taking things in your stride. I also became a Mum this year with a 7 month old and I don’t know how people pack with more than one child! Our car is always so full, there is so much they need!

I love you guys you’re so real and not afraid to laugh at yourself. I also love love how you enjoy what you call charity shops. I manage one in Mississippi.

Advice for travel . Make a list of everything you have packed. When you return home, make a list of everything you did NOT use. MANY things can be substituted with something else. Something you already have OR something you can borrow from family. It's one thing to use space in your own car, but entirely different when using public transportation. Cut your "gotta haves" by half. You can always adjust after a few trips......................LOVE these vlogs!

Thanks for that chatty episode.... loving your daily vlog.... I live down in Greece ... retired teacher.... with 5 grandchildren... i know how busy and tiring a little one is but so rewarding x

The story is hilarious! I’m sure I didn’t notice anything when I first watched it but I’m going to watch it again. I’m so happy you both decided to do Vlogmas. We are getting to see how this new stage in your lives is and getting to know Neo a bit more. You both seem to have taken to parenthood very well and from what I can see you’re doing a fantastic job even if you overpack a little!😂 Hugs, Doc❤

I always overpack if we are doing a road trip because you have no limits on how much you can bring so we stuff the car. Flying is harder but honestly in some ways easier because you won’t want to lug hundreds of pounds of stuff through an airport so you have to consolidate. It becomes obvious quickly that items that you think you can’t live without are not actually essential. We always bring a pack and play (I just can’t get past the thought of germs with one supplied by a hotel), car seat, and then all of the normal toiletries/clothing, a few books and toys, and plate/bib/fork/cup. I highly recommend packing cubes for baby stuff. It helps contain everything and you can organize the cubes by category so you know where everything is and quickly grab what you need. We live in a dry climate so we’ve have never done a bath every day and it’s never been a problem…hotel tubs work just fine if one of you can prop him up while the other scrubs.

Leo’s facial expressions say it all!!! Love it ❤️

I've absolutely been loving these daily Christmas vlogs, thank you for sharing! You are a precious family!!

His little expression when you asked him why he waits -- SO FUNNY!!!!! I swear, ALL babies wait until the car ride to make the messiest nappies. WHY?!!! Also, the mass of large items for such tiny little ones -- UGH! If you were trying to be relatable . . . BINGO!! So nice you got to spend time with the grandparents and your sisters and uncles. Family is so important, and it's so nice to be so near Louis'. Wish I had some great travel tips for you, but I'm sure you'll get some from some far more season travelers than I. Enjoy this season and seeing little Neo experience it for the first time. It's just an added layer of Christmas magic! Also, SO glad they released you without charges. What a crazy misadventure!

You guys are the epitome of what parents should be. You’re so wonderful ❤

Louis the goat 🐐 your hardwork doesn’t go unnoticed🫶🏽✨ thanks for this series y’all. Happy holidays!🎅🏼🎄⭐️

Oh what fun!! 🎄 I’m so enjoying these festive vlogs!! 🎅🏻🤶🏻 Thanks for sharing your beautiful life with us!! ❤

Always great creative content. We never know what we're going to get. Btw theres a book - How to travel with kids without losing your mind. Includes packing like Mary Poppins 🎁🎉

Loving the daily vlogs! You’re both (and Nero) are adorable!

I am just loving Vlogmas!! And what a crazy story. I bet you both (esp Louis though) have so many more crazy travel stories. Would love to hear more!

Loving vlogmas!

What a great story! So fun to hear about your adventures

Enjoying vlogmas!! The daily vlogging looks good on y’all

Loving this vlogmas content ❤❤ thank you 💚💚

Awesome vlog. Really enjoying them. Great to see the relatives enjoying Neo. ❤

You all are an awesome and beautiful family!! it is so very inspiring to watch your travels and your growth as a family!! Blessings!!!

“I just need to, like, eat pancakes and escape!” 😂😂😂❤ Legit gold, Raya 😅😂🥞

Omg, Neo is so expressive! loving these videos guys!

Learning to edit what you pack with kids is definitely a learning curve (I had a chuckle when I saw that you packed Neo’s tunnel 😊). We found that when you are in a new place and traveling you don’t need as many toys and books etc as the new environment keeps them occupied (though familiar things are comforting for them too in strange places). Often you can rent travel cribs and things at your destination which helps!

Enjoying your vlogs. I'm so inspired by you going all in with such a young family. Even if you have to end early I wouldn't think less of you but with that said, rooting for you to blow your own minds at your capabilities in such a demanding season of life. I went back and watched the vlog from the story. So impressed by how you pulled it off. I think I could only tell something was off because I already knew. If I hadn't known I would be none the wiser. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Loving these Vlogmas videos so much!! Thanks for sharing your holiday journey with us!

If you're ever arrested in a foreign country again, tell them that you want to exercise your right to representation by your country's consulate. That''s part of what consulates do.

Loving your vlogmas videos, your story was hilarious, luckily everything turned out alright, 😊🎄

First off I have to say I love that you are drinking Emon and Bec's tea! I'd be thrilled to see it any day but these days my thoughts drift to them often and my prayers are with them. I look every day for news. I don't expect you to say since it's truly not your story to tell but I thought perhaps they will be reading the comments and see that I wish them the world of good things. Laughing at you over the van and being late. Every person who has ever had a child knows exactly what you are going through. By kid #2 you bring much less. Please Make sure to share the videos of your Mums walk! I loved Brussels!

The advent part is SO FUNNY!! Raya, where are the tea bags? I can't hahahaha The story-time was so awesome, great Vlogmas

So look forward to your daily visit... In hindsight the Brussels story is wild...so glad you are home safe this Christmas

What a story! 😱 I love your Vlogmas ❤

Ptobably my best vlogmas this year. So relaxing watching you guys. Best parents! Love it

Love these vlogmas videos!!!!

Great story! I love that vlogs are back!❤

Ah, such a lovely genuine family … all the splendid blessing to you all..

Very fun series! Got me to subscribe!

Love the intro with the animation❣️ Really enjoying your Vlogmas‼️ Wonderful meeting more of the family ❣️

Love seeing you guys laugh and enjoy each other

Thanks for vlogging Xmas time. Appreciate your hard work.

My daughter has lost her voice, after being sick, and we are heading to the UK in ten days. We are really hoping she will be better soon and that I do not get sick! Raya, in case you are tempted, do not whisper. I used to lose my voice every year - it goes with the job of teaching young children - and was told by a couple of doctors (over the years) whispering is harder on the vocal cords when they are already strained.

Such a beautiful little family. Watched you both for a long time. Best wishes xx

😂 oi vay!! What a story! Glad it all worked out! Keep up the relaxed vibes and exhale the worry and fear. It doesn't help and robbs you of the moment ❤

Thanks for posting the link for the Belgium video it was superb ❤️ all the fun you 2 shared. Really made me want to go to Brussels for Christmas. Been there in summer but so exciting at 🎄.

I’m loving your Vlogmas 💝 I feel like I’ve received a wonderful gift for this holiday. I sure didn’t see coming the story from that earlier Christmas ! Oh my gosh😅 🎄

OMG it feels so nostalgic with a vlog every day!

Love this series of vlogs you're doing! Super fun! Look forward to each day :)

Oh, my gosh, that would have been terrifying! The whole "where drone usage is permitted" subject is confusing to me and where also permits are.required to fly one. Have fun in London! (maybe avoid pol. station rooftops, haha)

Loving this vlogmas !

Thank you for sharing ❤ these videos are so heartwarming and fun 😊😇

Enjoying these vlogs! I have watched for years and love these🙂

OMG, LMAO - only Louie could get into that kind of situation! “Oh, I’ll just stand on the roof of the police station and illegally fly the drone in front of the Chief’s window, what could possibly go wrong?” And he had no idea what he could have done wrong. 😵‍💫 That is a classic story! Loved it. 😂🤣😂🤣

I love these daily videos. And your Brussels arrest story: priceless 😂

Love the Vlogmas, especially the storytime.

I was so concerned when I saw the title that it happened more recently! I'm glad it was just a fun memory to share. I am really loving Vlogmas with you guys and know how hard it is to edit so much so that is amazing, especially with a baby! I hope you guys keep loving it and that Raya feels better soon! I also love the advent calendars! :)

Such a great story, I would have done the same as Raya watch a Christmas movie and order food, very funny, it all worked out in the end xxx

Loving watching your daily Vlogs but when I saw the title this morning I was like OMG but wow now that is a story I will definitely go and watch it! I’m looking forward to tomorrows Vlog and thank you both this must be really hard to do with a baby! ❤

Such a warm slow life I love it

thank you so much for this entertaining video and story behind the scenes

I love the Vlogmas, thank you guys.

Totally enjoyed that story! Thank you!

Loving VLOGMAS!

The cartoon intro is SUPER CUTE!!! Merry Christmas. ❤

Wow, what a crazy story in Brussels. You should consider sharing more of that behind the scenes stuff. So interesting!

I feel that way about my plants too😊. My oldest plant is older than Raya I think-a Yucca from my husband’s parents yard that we’ve kept as a house plant is from 1992. Also, you guys compartmentalize very well-nothing in the Brussels vlog gave it away, however, now knowing what happened, there seemed to be extra meaning to both your comments regarding now being able to really get into the Christmas spirit😉

You guys had me craving an advent chocolate calendar so I went on Amazon and bought. I’m enjoying vlogmas eating chocolate daily with you both.

Love the opening animation, guys! So fun!

Loved the story. your videos are so wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

HILARIOUS drone story. Best line, "especially on top of a police station". HILARIOUS

Love you three!!! ❤

❤ your new animated intro! So cute!

Re travel - you have way too much stuff! Get an inexpensive food mill and you can make anything you want into 'baby food'. Wash Neo in a sink. No need to complicate things. Bring some disposable changing matts and you can make any surface easy for diaper changes and clean ups. I said it before...duct tape. You can use it to babyproof just about anything. (Outlet covers, ways to keep cabinets closed, toilets seats down, corners buffered and wires out of the way.) Pretend you are camping and think like that...Hope this helps!

Aw thanks for sharing your story!!! 😮

Hope your family has a great Christmas ❤

Funny story thanks for sharing. Most people that do Vlog miss make five or 10 minute videos you guys are awesome with these almost half hour videos I’m really enjoying them

I love you guys. You both are so happy being parents to your adorable baby boy. Your daily vlogs are great, although I don’t know how you are doing them, I am feeling tired just watching them. I also loved the Brussels story.

Hi just something that worked for me. One travel back pack with diaper supplies. Change of clothes. 2 small toys and 2 books. You can use a book multiple ways. Make your interaction about numbers ( count pages or items). Make your interaction about vocabulary. Read book backwards. When they haven’t seen the book in a couple of days it’s new to them. You just need 3 or 4 changes of clothes. You can always wash in sink or do laundry. Really enjoying blog

Hope you feel better soon Raya, i had the sore throat for 3 daus before a really bad sinus headache and cold hit me. hope yours doesn’t get any worse.

I just watched the Vlog from your arrest and wow you did an amazing job. You would never have known they were different days well done guys!

Just subscribed. I've been watching your videos for a while and am really loving your Vlogmas series!

Only Louis 😂😂😂 So glad everything worked out. Hope you feel better soon, Raya!! Sending light and love❤❤❤

Your intro is too cute for words! ❤

Loving the daily 🎄vlogs what a super idea.

Loving these videos!!!!!!

I just absolutely adore your beautiful family…….Neo is precious and obviously incredibly smart. ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for doing Vlogmas! My daughter (8yrs) and I are loving it 😊 By the way Raya the Christmas tree looked so festive in the beginning of the vlog!

That’s so funny and terrifying at the same time 😂I actually remember seeing that video ❤ glad you all are not arrested hehe

Wow, your charity shops are amazing!!

I'm so proud of you guys. I love the storytime story. I mean, that could only be something that Louis would get busted for, LOL. I'm so glad everything was okay, and y'all totally pulled it all like nothing happened. PS - Louis, I absolutely LOVE the intro to these Vlogmas videos.

What a crazy story. Good thing he was allowed to continue flying after all of that. You two did a wonderful job with the video despite the unplanned adventure!

Amazing story today ❤️❤️❤️

I think I would of stopped right there! No more videos for me!! At least in the end everything turned out for the better. God Bless you ❤U guys
