Christmas Eve Festivities with Aunt Linda - 2023 

Aunt Linda reminds me so much of my aunt who passed away a year ago. Linda is such a light in the world.

The view from Olivias bedroom, with the snow, her brothers and all watching a VHS 😭 so blooming cute! What a perfect Christmas eve memory for them all. Aunt Linda melted my heart, as per usual 🥰 Merry Christmas to everyone single one of you! ❤

As a mother to a daughter with special needs (4), I hope and pray she is surrounded by as much love and kindness as Aunt Linda is in her life. I’ve always loved watching your family treat her with respect and love, but it has been abundantly more heartwarming as I imagine my daughter’s future. ❤️ Merry Christmas Aunt Linda!

I LOVE that your kids not only know what Pollyanna and White Christmas are but want to watch them. They definitely know what quality movies are. Also, love seeing Aunt Linda in the vlogs again- ❤

Proof that your kids, will always be Aunt Linda’s babies! Your kids love her so much!

I love all your kiddos, but it’s such a joy to me to watch Olivia grown into a wonderful young lady. She is so mature and she has such a kind heart. It’s been a privilege to watch her grow!!!

It is so beautiful seeing you take such good care of aunt Linda. She is very lucky to have a family like yours and you are lucky to have her. She seems to bring a lot of joy to the people around her.❤

Why did Boston giving Aunt Linda Hugs just MELT ME🥹

I love how Joel’s mom is giggling at the kids. Thank you for sharing Aunt Linda with us, because her loving soul brings joy. She loves giving the gifts to the kids! I have to tell you that she loves you all so much and through it all, you have kept Aunt Linda’s yearly milestones something she can count on. You and Mark are a blessing.

I love Linda’s reactions to her present and the way she said all the kids names!

Ah Bonnie, your love for Aunt Linda is so precious. Seeing everyone out her to bed was so lovely

Everyone tucking Aunt Linda goodnight with Lady… gets you in the feels!❤

I loved watching the kids do their exchange! They’re finally at the perfect age to pick out meaningful gifts for each other and get excited to give!

Not me crying at the sweet memories that you made in your new home. Aunt Linda always brings a smile to my face.

My daughter is like Linda. Such a joy to be around. Your house has the most beautiful views. Especially at night.

Aunt Linda reminds me of my Aunt Shirley who passed away December 29, 2020 from Covid pneumonia. Cherish every day you have with Linda. I wish my Aunt was still alive but I know she’s watching over us from Heaven.

What a beautiful Christmas Eve.❤❤❤

Aunt Linda is always so sweet , and lady so quiet in her cone next to the fireplace so sweet ❤❤❤❤

I love how you, Joel and your children are so sweet and loving to Aunt Linda. She very lucky to have you all! Happy New Year! Your friend Kathy from Montgomery NY

I was smiling the whole time watching this video 🥹 the kids are sooo sweet and polite opening their gifts and being so thankful

aunt linda makes me think of my aunts that have passed on. they were always the best gift givers. so sweet

Another great view, Olivia and all those neighborhood lights. So pretty

Merry Christmas Eve thank you for sharing it with us and Aunt Linda she is so precious ❤️

These vlogs are so touching! Aunt Linda is such a jewel. Bonnie, ( just a suggestion) But, I hope you get vlogs of Joels' Mom talking about her family life, her ancestors, how she Joel's father met and so on while you're on your down time in Florida. Maybe have the kids do a Q & A for themselves. So many things in my adult life I wished I would have known about my Grandparents. It just made me think when your kids are adults... They'll have that memory. Love & prayers from Kentucky.

Remember be kind rewind. 😂 Love Aunt Linda’s enthusiasm. She is amazing.

I love seeing the kids’ interest in the vcr. It stems from their relationship with their grandparents.

It was nice to see Aunt Linda spending time with the family! Always nice to see her! Such thoughtful Christmas gifts! 🎁 Happy New Year! 🥳

Aunt still blesses my soul all these years of watching ya’ll. She is definitely the life of the party.

Nightmare before Christmas is a beautiful movie with a great lesson. You’re missing out guys!!

Such a beautiful Vlog Bonnie. Loved seeing your Christmas Eve and The end with Linda and everyone cuddled up was so cute! We still have an old TV with VHS tapes too. Love your dishes.

Oh how I've missed these vlogs! The black Santa blanket from Aunt Linda😅 just precious. A magical night. Merry Christmas.

Lincolns reaction to his gift made me tear up! What sweet kids!

Aunt Linda❤ She is one blessed Auntie to have you guys to love on her! ❤ love the kids wanting the VHS from Grandma and Grandpa Hoellein! What a great Christmas Eve! Oh and Aunt Linda with the napkin to put Santa's cookies on , love it!

Aunt Linda celebrating Christmas is another wonderful memory for your family. ❤

AUNT LINDA IS THE VIBEEEEEEE

Such a sweet video. Thanks for sharing. Love Cody’s cologne! Such a grown up gift with a youth flare

I love how everyone in your family is so sweet to aunt Linda. ❤❤❤

I take it grandpa said yes? 😂😂 Boston & Cody ‘fighting’ over the VHS was priceless. So wholesome. That’s the only thing they wanted that night was to be able to watch VHS tapes with their siblings. You really do have some of the best kids. So humble and grateful. Happy holidays! Edit: Aunt Linda is the absolute sweetest. Bonnie I know your parents are proud how you’ve taken her under your wing. Her gifts were the best & she even signed her name. Melted my heart. And the ending. Ahhhh. Happy Holidays!!

I love how sentimental and kind your family is! Looks like you had a very special Christmas! Thanks for sharing. ❤

I love aunt Linda, I hope you all had an amazing Christmas. And your family are in my continuous prayers.❤

Aunt Linda is so sweet those blankets and books will be so precious years from now

You are raising such beautiful children Bonnie and Joel. Truly so beautiful 🥹❤️

Thank you for sharing Aunt Linda with the world!❤

I can't believe vhs still exists. Makes me feel old. Hope you all had a great Christmas. Thanks for a great video.

The moment I've been waiting for..Christmas eve with Aunt Linda 🥰🎄❤ I love the surprise of opening her own gift to herself lol. The kids are always soooo sweet to her. Really touched my heart beyond measure 💞

Thank you for sharing the joy that Aunt Linda brings. This was just the sweetest video ❤

Blessings to you all. I dearly love seeing your aunt Linda.

Sending Love,Peace,& Blessings 🥰☮️💜

Your family is so precious, it made me cry! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I wish you all happiness, health, and success. Aunt Linda is such a sweetheart, and so are the kids ❤ Well done raising them. By the way, you looked stunning ❤

The kids are me when it comes to movies hahaha. I can’t ever decide how many l am going to watch before bed 😂

The view from Amy’s window is amazing (Olivia 😂). And Aunt Linda … Bonnie you are a queen. What a year and you continue to put the needs of others first. I’m glad you are getting away to Florida for a fresh start in 2024. When you get back you will have the enthusiasm and energy for your new home. It’s such a shame that ‘everything’ came to light as you were moving. We know you have been dealing with all of this behind the scenes for quite some time but finally in 2024 justice will be served, I hope your nieces and nephews will begin their long journey of healing and your harassment from others will be behind you. We know someday you will be able to share everything you as a family have had to go through that none of us have any idea about. I just want to wish you a happy new year and a renewed energy for 2024

Oh Bonnie, you are so lucky to have such a beautiful family ❤. It is so special to have such great memories with Aunt Linda. Thank you for sharing your Christmas Eve with everyone. I really enjoyed it. ❤

The switch in Lincoln's face from "it's a group toy" to pure excitement and glee when he opened it has me cracking up. 😂Merry Christmas, Hoellein family!

I first of all would like to say a merry Christmas and happy new year! Second of all thank you for posting videos again it fills my heart to see you all, no matter what, you all will always have each other.

So great to see Aunt Linda with the presents she loves! Love her spirit so much!

Bonnie, your face when Aunt Linda opened her present! 😂 I have an aunt like Linda. She’s in her 80s now, and still keeping everyone on their toes! Happy new year to you and your family xx

Aunt Linda tucked into bed in your new beautiful home makes my heart warm ♥️ hope you guys had a nice Christmas.

Lincoln hugging Boston 🥺🥹🥰 My heart

What a wonderful Christmas eve in your new home! I've missed Aunt Linda! I bet she was soooo excited to see your folks again. I just cant believe how grown up all the kids are, Lincoln is a little man now! Much love from Wilsonville Oregon

The nostalgia with the movies! I love how into your kids are picking the old movies out. Even the empty case just reminded me of blockbuster and Hollywood video Saturday nights how the movie you would want would have an empty case in it

Aunt Linda is so precious ❤. She's also quite a hoot😂 Beautiful Christmas Eve, Hollein family! May God continue to richly bless you into the new year 🎉

BONNIE YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL

This is the most wholesome beautiful Christmas vlog. 🥰

I cant believe that vhs tv and those tapes still work! Talk about a Christmas miracle 😄
