We had a mostly relaxed Easter weekend that included a visit from my dad (from Mexico), the tasting of various Mexican candies, and a fun Easter egg hunt at my mom’s house. π

The Latest YouTube Videos on Fun Playtime Reviews
I missed posting the videos we uploaded last week, so this week, I’m sharing those and the one video I’ve uploaded so far. I have a goal to upload a total of four videos this week.
I’m a little behind. π
Before I get to the videos, here are a few YouTube-related things I’ve observed:
- YouTube is always changing, but I think the changes that YouTube makes tend to be for the better. This is unlike
facebookanother social media network that will remain nameless. - I used to upload my videos directly to YouTube via iMovie, but now, I upload them directly to YouTube via their upload tool. I think this way is better because then I can make sure my video is optimized for search before it goes live.
- It takes A LOT of time and effort to grow a YouTube channel, but as long as you enjoy the videos you create, it’s worth it! π
And now, here are the videos:
Disney FROZEN illooms Light Up Balloons (Fun Playtime Review)
Disney FROZEN Elsa Storybooks Opening (Wooden Elsa Doll, Wooden Elsa Mirror, and More!)
Super Mario Plush Adventures Episode 8
Choco Treasure Surprise Eggs Opening!
My Little Pony RARITY Play Doh Surprise Egg – Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy

Family Time at Chuck E. Cheese (Blessed Seven – Vlog #2)
Okay, so we tackled Chuck E. Cheese in this week’s family vlog.
I explain the reason why we were going to Chuck E. Cheese in the video, but I’ll share a little bit more of the story here. π
First, David is now 100% free of all medications. Praise the Lord! He is no longer taking that gross, glue-smelling, hair-growth-inducing immune suppression medication, Cyclosporine. He started taking that drug in October of 2013, and he’s finally off of it.
It was weird for David to no longer have to force down that med, and he told me he thought he’d always have to take it. He never thought he’d be free of it, but, by God’s grace, he is. This makes me cry tears of joy!
Because David’s immune system is no longer being suppressed by drugs, we feel more comfortable about going out in public, and we’re planning to start spending a little more time out of the house. We’re not going to go crazy or anything, but we don’t feel like we need to stay home as much as we have the last year and a half.
We also chose to go to Chuck E. Cheese because when David was in the hospital for his bone marrow transplant in December of 2013, my mom’s nursing friends all got together and blessed us with cards and a Chuck E. Cheese gift card.
When I saw the gift card, I was very thankful, but I knew that we wouldn’t be able to use it for a loooooonnnnngggg time. π
Fast forward to March of 2015, and Ruben and I finally felt like it was safe to take David into our local Chuck E. Cheese.
And we had a great time!
Here’s the video:
I’m planning on filming another vlog on either Friday or Sunday of this week, and I’ll post it here when I can.
I hope you all have a very Happy Easter! π
The Latest YouTube Videos on Fun Playtime Reviews
So far, I’ve uploaded three videos to our family YouTube channel this week. We filmed a fourth video today, and it’s sitting in iMovie right now.
But instead of waiting until I get that video edited and on YouTube, I want to share the other videos that we created. π
Before I get to the videos, here are a few YouTube-related things I’ve observed:
- YouTube recently rolled out a new feature called “Cards” that video creators can use to enhance their videos. I’ve heard that these cards may replace current annotations.
- Lately, YouTube has been updating channels and processing videos faster. Yay!
- It’s a good idea to optimize your videos for search engines and YouTube before making them public.
And now, here are this week’s videos:
Disney Hold My Hands Singing Minnie Mouse
Super Mario Plush Adventures Episode 7 (Toad Army Battle)
Disney FROZEN Surprise Eggs with Elsa, Olaf, Frozen Stickers, Lemonheads, Olaf Backpack Clip
