I choked up when I saw Leo and his aunt walking hand in hand up the snowy yard, with mom, dad, uncle, and beloved friend up working on the house and brother safely napping right inside. What a charmed life situation you've set up for yourself right now! You are blessed.
Yes crying with you. My mom passed 23yrs ago when I was 43 and Christmas is still hard for me every year. We actually have lost all the elders of our families both on my side and my husband's.
Allie I understand this is my first Christmas after Dad died in January . I keep telling myself that Dad loved Christmas soooo much that we have to celebrate it for him too.
@@louannekeast8575 I'm with you! My Dad past in 2006 right after the new year and THAT Destroyed me. I dread the holidays! Then, ..I lost my Mom very tragically last year..😔 My heart and soul have never been so shattered.. therapy helps, but the emptiness is still there.. I wish you well!🥰 Sending you and Sandy good vibes..
Lost my dad 12/12/2019. Just lost my mom 12/12/2024. 5 years apart on exact date 1 hour 45 minutes apart. This year will be difficult for many people. Blessings and prayers to you Allie
Oh my I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my husband almost 5 years ago and I miss him so much!! 57 years together it’s so so hard to want to live. Because half of me is gone. Recalling memories, which we made many really helps and talking about him also helps. Prayers and peace to you.
Having that third hand in Greyson and Jennifer with the kids has made this whole enterprise so much more efficient. I know you guys are SO grateful to have them on the Trent&Allie team! Merry Christmas to all!
I lost my dad in July from cancer so I am alone this christmas. Crying is part of the grieving process lord knows I do everyday... I really hope you can find peace this year after everything that has happend.
My mom passed away in June. This holiday season has been a rollercoaster of emotions, but we are so lucky to have all of the memories to hold onto. Big hugs Allie!
A little solid food in the evening may help Billy sleep through the night. We used to start baby rice cereal mixed with their milk at 4 months 34 years ago.
I cannot express how much y'all enrich my life. Seeing Leo and Billy growing and learning melts my heart. I love listening to Leo talk. He has a huge vocabulary and imagination. Wishing you all a beautiful Christmas season! Say hello to Joel for me. I will pray for all of you and Russell. These first milestones are tough. Love y'all!
Much love for you all, especially at the holidays. One can’t help but think of those that aren’t with us, but also the warmth that comes from the company of those that still are. Be safe and joyous! 🎄
As a massage therapist for 30+ years I can say with confidence that Lika needs soft tissue therapy. A good massage will help both her shoulders. Maybe the same therapist could help Trents back. Animal Chiropractic would be another option. Love you guys.
I agree!! I give my 16 year old sister cats soft body and muscle massages and they are still so very active! Jumps that un-nerve me but doesn't bother them one bit!😂
Dr advocate #4 Whatever you do 'do not' consider homeopathy until you have exhausted your time, $$ and Likas rehab potential. lol I know you love your freedom, fam/pets and DIY everything but I became bulletproof after learning homeopathy! At 72 am better than 40 yrs! I cannot tell you all the work a day injuries for me and the hubby even a bike accident with concussion, brain bleed and whiplash all aced with homeopathy to the chagrin of follow up drs! aced as in preventing a lot of premature and longterm dibility. Come on childbirth w/o drugs and Drs you can do this! Homeo/pets sites!
Me too! I am 72 and am all teary-eyed with Allie’s choice of music, memories and decorating! Thanks for Leo to help and the fantastic teamwork of your T&A crew
Love your humor! Quality of the videos. Like during the roof sloughing that one lol bloop falling off. I literally laughed out loud. There were a few moments like that. 😅I love you guys. Good stuff. ❤
You choaked me up. I got soggy eyeballs. Christmas is special. And those that will no longer be with us is harder this time of year... it's okay to cry, it's cleansing the soul...
The older you get, the more bittersweet, and also beautiful, Christmas becomes. I hope yours is filled with much more joy than sadness as I think it will, especially with a new little one to share it with. And on another note, we lived in a very old house for many years with tons of opportunities for critters to come in. One very wet summer we had an infestation of rats in the dirt floor basement and the walls and ceilings have held mice, squirrels, birds and yellow jackets. Our electricity went off one day and we discovered under the upstairs floorboards that a mouse had electrocuted himself and started a small fire which never got going, but scorched the wood. It was never ending. They are persistent and have little else to do in their spare time besides look for cozy, protected spaces to hang out. Hope you get that figured out as the house slowly gets buttoned up for the winter. The house decorations look lovely and Leo is at an age where he can better appreciate and maybe even someday remember a little about this Christmas with his new baby brother.
Every year I cry putting up my Christmas tree. I call it my memory tree. All my ornaments have so much sentimental meanings to me. People loved and lost
I am on my third year of AG1 and will keep using it. I am retired and appreciate the help with energy and gut health. I added fish oil capsules about six months ago and I cannot believe the impact. No more pain in my fingers, feet and knees from the beginnings of arthritis. Seriously the daily pain is gone. Hope this helps someone.
Oh Allie. I wish I could give you a big hug. My mom passed a week before Christmas 7 years ago. It’s been a struggle to get into the spirit some years, but I totally agree there is something sacred about the tradition and memories. Wishing you some of that Christmas magic and watch for the signs, your mom will show you she’s near 🎄
Consider bringing her to a place where she can swim. The water therapy will help her re-establish some of the muscle atrophy. Or maybe Trent can build her a water therapy basin.
I would like to suggest using mulch to prevent mud and slipping. I have geese and chickens which ate all my grass before o had a fence built. The mulch is a game changer
Crying is therapeutic. My dad is gone 3.5 years and things still catch me and I cry. I love your excitement for decorating for Christmas! It’s so fun watching Leo and Billy grow and how excited Leo gets and his great imagination! So healthy and positive! Enjoy this holiday season with your beautiful family!😊
When I built my house, we had clay as a wet mess around the house. A Farmer friend suggested using straw on top of the clay and it made a lot of the mud mess go away when working on the area. You may want to try it in a spot to see if it might work for your soil type. Winter work struggles are real!
Trent got some house building skills, he's sometimes very modest, it's like I don't know if he knows how good he is, not everybody can build a home 🏠. Trent is the man, he's got his long time trustworthy crew, Brandon and Grayson the homies, I get a kick out of how much Leo has learned, putting sentences together now. It's cute and awesome, shows how smart he is. And Billy, with that adorable baby face,🤗 his cute laugh and smile brightens up the day. God bless those 2 lil boys. 🐕🙏🏼 Hey Allie does your dad still stay downstairs in the room. Hope he's doing well.👍
Need to try & Finish the bottom of the Walls that y’all are putting the siding on so the snow does not go up underneath and get the installation wet and mold
The next project is a varmint house for critters with heat and AC. That way, they may stay out of your home. Leo is such a big boy now. Billy has changed in a week. Watching them grow is such fun. Dogs sometimes move outside their body's capabilities.
Crying with you Allie😢 Miss my parents so much. On a lighter note…I think you edit your videos?? They are so great!! I loved the moving from dogs to sloughing snow to Trent, Brandon and Grayson!! And the music is KILLER!!!
Your Mom will always be with you in spirit Allie. Look in a mirror sweety. You look and have many of your Moms mannerisms. She is with you . Merry Christmas to your family. Take care.
I absolutely adore Leo! He is so adorable and so intelligent for his age. It’s absolutely astonishing to witness him in every single video. He reminds me of my oldest nephew who is now 16 and actually lives out there near you guys in Park City, Utah.
Allie I understand what you're saying about not having loved one's at Christmas. My mother has been gone for 32 years from pancreatic Cancer, And my father 16 years from lung Cancer, And I lost my husband to a heart attack after 37 years of marriage.he has been gone for 8 years. And my Grandparents have been gone for many many years. And you were talking about leka.. well my right hand and arm is messed up. And there's nothing they can do. I had surgery. I was cut in 5 places. My nerves and tendons are all messed up. Also my bones were deterated. Just like all over my body. And the surgery made my hand look terrible. And I was already a chronic pain person because o❤f fibromyalgia and arthritis and osteoporosis and many other things. But I will be thinking about you during Christmas when I'm missing my momma because I no you will be missing yours too. And I will say a prayer for you and send you a Hug ❤🙏
Allie, I lost my mother at the first of the year, and she loved christmas. She was such an amazing woman, grandma, GG, and a very Godly woman. I miss her so much 😢 prayers for you and all who are missing a loved one at the time ❤
My mom passed away last year but for some reason it has really hit this Christmas season I’m working on new traditions and allowing my grief to work through My thoughts are with you I know she’s always with you in spirit
Christmas memories for children will last a lifetime as I still remember mine, family, cookie making, tinsel, popcorn and cranberry chains also making home made decorations, paper chains, snowflakes and of course not sleeping on Christmas Eve. Make the best memories for the boys . At 74 I still decorate with my kids handmade ones and carry them to pass on.
i'm 61 (almost 62 in march), and I only decorated a stand-less 4' fake tree ($4) on top of an old lamp post. I wish I could participate in "Christmas Joy" with my 1 1/2 year grand baby, but the stroke has made me difficult to keep up with them. their too fast for me to understand everything. I am on the last topic whether they understand me or not. I'm too old at 61 years of age. I went from playing foosball in a weekly league, to nearly dead in one small stroke after a 18 mile bicycle ride two years ago and yet, I'm a plant eater since 2012. demn sleep ApNea! Now it's just simple couch potato, YT university and this old keypad. Sorry, I can't share in the Christmas spirit this year and maybe never again.
Could Billy possibly need supplemental food. My son stopped sleeping because he was more hungry than sleepy although not cranky. My doctor suggested supplemental baby formula to breast milk and he slept much longer through the night. 🥰
Allie, you are so precious. Your mom loves you and will always be in your heart. I lost my mom this year, and I think about her every day. I love seeing Leo walking in the snowy woods with Jennifer. That was a Norman Rockwell moment for me. The house is really coming along and it's starting to look festive. Enjoy the season and Merry Christmas to all. I look forward to your next video.❤
Hi Allie ! Shed tears with you. My mother passed seven years ago. I'm now on my own. I'm quite sentimental but find Christmas the hardest. I've just got news from my best friend whose brother died suddently in the middle of the night. She is devastated and Christmas won't be easy for her either. So this time of the year just seems to magnify all our deepest emotions. Hugs from Angela in Dublin, Ireland.
Just lost my mom. In her case it was merciful, almost a blessing, but it doesn't make me miss her any less. She left us on Halloween and I choose to believe that she did that as one final joke. Tough for all who miss loved ones but I still love Christmas.
My wife used a DeWalt laser lever with our basement remodel but since it was being used indoors it worked fine. We do use many of the same Milwaukee tools you use partially because have seen you using them over the years. I bought the same clamshell tripod work light you have and I love it. We even run it off our portable generator when the power goes out.
I really enjoyed this episode. I too love the nostalgia of Christmas. So many changes throughout the years, yet the cumulative memories make a yearly comeback. For some reason, today I was struck by how massive an undertaking this addition is. Will be incredible when finished. The boys are doing so well.
Allie, have you heard of “baby led weaning”? It’s very popular in the U.K. and is a practice where babies aged 6 months or older jump straight to finger foods as soon as solids are introduced, bypassing purées and mashed up food. It allows babies to learn how to chew (or gum) first, then swallow. I have used both methods as I brought my own babies up the traditional “puree” way, but as a childminder find baby led weaning amazing, and saves so much time! X
Funny, I started watching you'll for years and I saw you'll as young adventurous adults and compared your ages to my grandkids. And today I realized you'll were total adults. Looks, actions and KIDS!!! I am a great grandma. I have surely enjoyed you.
I would highly recommend looking into hydrotherapy for Lika. It would help her with her muscle building and atrophy tremendously while being easy on her body.
Hello Trent, Allie, Leo, Billy, Frank, Lika, Branden, Jennifer and Grayson. Hopefully Lika gets better and no problems with that side like the other side.
Christmas is time to light the candles and send thoughts up to the people that left us to become angels and realize that they will always be connected to our hearts
Holidays are tough for me now that I am a bonafide senior citizen. At 71 years old, all of my aunts and uncles are gone. My dad died over 50 years ago, my mom died in 2018. My sister died last June. My father in-law-law who I was close to died in 2005, my mother-in-law is 90 and not doing well. All I have left are some cousins I have no contact with and my wife and daughter who has no kids. Lots more folks under the ground than above it. Lots of good memories though.
Hope you find the critters before real winter hits. House looks warm and welcoming for Christmas. Miss having young children around during this time of year especially.
Hi Trent and Allie and Leo and of course cute Billy. That siding is really looking so great and beautiful and it will be so good getting it completed before you get a ton of snow. I love how that covered deck keeps alot of that snow from bunching up higher and deeper. I also love all of the Christmas decor it is so much fun. Merry Merry Christmas to all of you, sending love and hugs, bye! 😂🥰🤗🎄🎄🎉💕💚💜💜💜
Trent you should try a water level to do your siding. It made of a 100 foot long vinyl tube filled with colored water. You take the ends out and the water seeks level. You go around the house Corner to corner making a mark. They will be level
Allie, decorating for Christmas is a great way to connect your present and past. I collected for more than 40 years. However, my husband & I downsized and relocated over the summer. I spent a few months sorting through the ornaments and decor determining what to keep, toss and give away. It was worthwhile taking my time -- all of the decorations are giving my husband & me much joy. And it was lovely to see that my niece incorporated my village into hers.
My wife Laura was so touched that you still have the Leo sled she made for him!! So cool. Merry Christmas.
I choked up when I saw Leo and his aunt walking hand in hand up the snowy yard, with mom, dad, uncle, and beloved friend up working on the house and brother safely napping right inside. What a charmed life situation you've set up for yourself right now! You are blessed.
We are crying right along with you Allie. She is not missing sweetie, she is right there with you always.
Yes crying with you. My mom passed 23yrs ago when I was 43 and Christmas is still hard for me every year. We actually have lost all the elders of our families both on my side and my husband's.

To be able to build a house so unusual and unique is a feat in itself ,these 3 men are totally magical to say the least .
A little solid food in the evening may help Billy sleep through the night. We used to start baby rice cereal mixed with their milk at 4 months 34 years ago.
Exactly what l did with my five kids..👍🏻
Same here.
That is what I did for my three sons too.
Yup. That was the thing for baby baby boomer's, too.
DITTO!!
I cannot express how much y'all enrich my life. Seeing Leo and Billy growing and learning melts my heart. I love listening to Leo talk. He has a huge vocabulary and imagination. Wishing you all a beautiful Christmas season! Say hello to Joel for me. I will pray for all of you and Russell. These first milestones are tough. Love y'all!
With all viewers, sending much love, hugs and wishing a Merry Christmas to you all.
Leo is a perfect age for Christmas! Love his excitement!
Leo saying it's about giving presents rather than saying it's about getting presents, shows you arr doing a good job as parents
Allie I see your mom in you every day! Your sweet nature and positive attitude show how much of your mom is in you! She’s with you always!! ❤
Much love for you all, especially at the holidays. One can’t help but think of those that aren’t with us, but also the warmth that comes from the company of those that still are. Be safe and joyous! 🎄
I lost my dad two days before Thanksgiving so I 100% feel you, that this holiday season is different and hard! Missing him terribly! ❤️❤️
As a massage therapist for 30+ years I can say with confidence that Lika needs soft tissue therapy. A good massage will help both her shoulders. Maybe the same therapist could help Trents back. Animal Chiropractic would be another option.
Love you guys.
I was going to suggest that. I am also an advocate for acupuncture.
100%
What works for us when it comes to manipulation will work for animals also.
I agree!! I give my 16 year old sister cats soft body and muscle massages and they are still so very active! Jumps that un-nerve me but doesn't bother them one bit!😂

Lika’s living her best life.
Oooh Allie you got me with crying while decorating.. I am missing some really important people this year too.. may their memory always be a blessing ❤
Me too! I am 72 and am all teary-eyed with Allie’s choice of music, memories and decorating! Thanks for Leo to help and the fantastic teamwork of your T&A crew

Just finished doing that an hour ago. Definitely a lot of treasured memories and tears. Merry Xmas!
I am on my third year of AG1 and will keep using it. I am retired and appreciate the help with energy and gut health. I added fish oil capsules about six months ago and I cannot believe the impact. No more pain in my fingers, feet and knees from the beginnings of arthritis. Seriously the daily pain is gone. Hope this helps someone.
good to know, thanks for sharing :)
I think it was the fish oil that most likely helped your joints..
I couldn’t tolerate the flavor. The vanilla with the fruit was horrible for me.
Would you mind sharing the fish oil you use please😊
We all feel the loss of your mom too, Allie. Can't imagine how hard it is for you! XO
Oh Allie. I wish I could give you a big hug. My mom passed a week before Christmas 7 years ago. It’s been a struggle to get into the spirit some years, but I totally agree there is something sacred about the tradition and memories. Wishing you some of that Christmas magic and watch for the signs, your mom will show you she’s near 🎄
A beautiful moment as Leo shares your Christmas decorating excitement! ❤🇨🇦🎄
Consider bringing her to a place where she can swim. The water therapy will help her re-establish some of the muscle atrophy. Or maybe Trent can build her a water therapy basin.
An extra large hot tub.
I would like to suggest using mulch to prevent mud and slipping. I have geese and chickens which ate all my grass before o had a fence built. The mulch is a game changer
Crying is therapeutic. My dad is gone 3.5 years and things still catch me and I cry. I love your excitement for decorating for Christmas! It’s so fun watching Leo and Billy grow and how excited Leo gets and his great imagination! So healthy and positive! Enjoy this holiday season with your beautiful family!😊
Those missing loved ones are always with us. Their love and light shines through you. ❤❤❤

God bless those 2 lil boys. 🐕🙏🏼 Hey Allie does your dad still stay downstairs in the room. Hope he's doing well.👍
I have a fan that I put on when it’s time for the grand-baby to sleep…that constant sound helps her brain to not register other sounds and wake up!
“Can you just explain what is going on with these ladders?” OMG…I died laughing! 😂😂😂😂😂
Need to try & Finish the bottom of the Walls that y’all are putting the siding on so the snow does not go up underneath and get the installation wet and mold
The next project is a varmint house for critters with heat and AC. That way, they may stay out of your home. Leo is such a big boy now. Billy has changed in a week. Watching them grow is such fun. Dogs sometimes move outside their body's capabilities.

Leo is looking like a big boy now. They grow so fast!
Get a sonic pest repeller or 2 and let them run in the areas you hear the critters. Seal up the house once you think they are gone.
Leo’s speech is getting so good. Very noticeable 😊
Have you tried sleep sounds for Billy? Repeating every time you want him to sleep reinforces signal to sleep.
Your Mom will always be with you in spirit Allie. Look in a mirror sweety. You look and have many of your Moms mannerisms. She is with you . Merry Christmas to your family. Take care.
I absolutely adore Leo!
He is so adorable and so intelligent for his age. It’s absolutely astonishing to witness him in every single video. He reminds me of my oldest nephew who is now 16 and actually lives out there near you guys in Park City, Utah.
Now I understand why I was advised to put hardware cloth up before putting on the siding!
This! 👆👌
FYI, Can I recommand doggie massage... It's gr8 for muscle atrophy and recovery. even on the 1st Side... Gd Luck 👍🏾👌🏾😘🦋💕

I think Brandon is right . . it’s a woodpecker which have significant claws and can make a hole quickly and easily
Allie, I lost my mother at the first of the year, and she loved christmas. She was such an amazing woman, grandma, GG, and a very Godly woman. I miss her so much 😢 prayers for you and all who are missing a loved one at the time ❤
My mom passed away last year but for some reason it has really hit this Christmas season
I’m working on new traditions and allowing my grief to work through
My thoughts are with you
I know she’s always with you in spirit
Get a trail camera so you can see what is coming and going.
It's coming together nicely! Keep up the hard work 💪🏻
Yes Allie your mom is with you always! I have lost both of my parents and it can be hard at times! I really miss them both ❤
The boys are both growing so much! Great time of year for family.🎉
Great job, everything is looking amazing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👍👍👍👍👍🏠🏡❤️❤️❤️❤️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
I am a bit confused as to why they would suggest antibiotics for a soft tissue injury ¿¿ I would strongly consider a 2nd opinion Allie.
Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us!! The folkedragter are beautiful, and your goddaughter looks like a sweet! ❤😊
Absolutely agree with you Allie on the meaning of decorate for Christmas- ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Christmas memories for children will last a lifetime as I still remember mine, family, cookie making, tinsel, popcorn and cranberry chains also making home made decorations, paper chains, snowflakes and of course not sleeping on Christmas Eve. Make the best memories for the boys . At 74 I still decorate with my kids handmade ones and carry them to pass on.
i'm 61 (almost 62 in march), and I only decorated a stand-less 4' fake tree ($4) on top of an old lamp post. I wish I could participate in "Christmas Joy" with my 1 1/2 year grand baby, but the stroke has made me difficult to keep up with them. their too fast for me to understand everything. I am on the last topic whether they understand me or not. I'm too old at 61 years of age. I went from playing foosball in a weekly league, to nearly dead in one small stroke after a 18 mile bicycle ride two years ago and yet, I'm a plant eater since 2012. demn sleep ApNea! Now it's just simple couch potato, YT university and this old keypad. Sorry, I can't share in the Christmas spirit this year and maybe never again.
Thanks for always sharing your adventures. 🎄♥️🎄
Could Billy possibly need supplemental food. My son stopped sleeping because he was more hungry than sleepy although not cranky. My doctor suggested supplemental baby formula to breast milk and he slept much longer through the night. 🥰
I agree, a little rusk or similar will assist in staying asleep.
Some babies just don’t sleep. Nursing is just what he needs and nothing more.
Thank you! Merry Christmas you too! ❤❤❤
Allie, you are so precious. Your mom loves you and will always be in your heart. I lost my mom this year, and I think about her every day. I love seeing Leo walking in the snowy woods with Jennifer. That was a Norman Rockwell moment for me. The house is really coming along and it's starting to look festive. Enjoy the season and Merry Christmas to all. I look forward to your next video.❤
So fun decorating with kids
Hi Allie ! Shed tears with you. My mother passed seven years ago. I'm now on my own. I'm quite sentimental but find Christmas the hardest. I've just got news from my best friend whose brother died suddently in the middle of the night. She is devastated and Christmas won't be easy for her either. So this time of the year just seems to magnify all our deepest emotions. Hugs from Angela in Dublin, Ireland.
I love how Leo says “yes”. Deh. 😊❤️
Just lost my mom. In her case it was merciful, almost a blessing, but it doesn't make me miss her any less. She left us on Halloween and I choose to believe that she did that as one final joke. Tough for all who miss loved ones but I still love Christmas.

Before you resume the tongue and groove above the deck, you should use a light to make there are no critters in there

For some reason, today I was struck by how massive an undertaking this addition is. Will be incredible when finished. The boys are doing so well.
Use one of your cameras and set it up outside, watching the hole in the insulation to see what is doing that.
Allie, have you heard of “baby led weaning”? It’s very popular in the U.K. and is a practice where babies aged 6 months or older jump straight to finger foods as soon as solids are introduced, bypassing purées and mashed up food. It allows babies to learn how to chew (or gum) first, then swallow. I have used both methods as I brought my own babies up the traditional “puree” way, but as a childminder find baby led weaning amazing, and saves so much time! X
Wow Leo is quite the little chatter box all of a sudden. He’s growing so fast. 😊
You both give your dogs a beautiful life. ❤
Funny, I started watching you'll for years and I saw you'll as young adventurous adults and compared your ages to my grandkids. And today I realized you'll were total adults. Looks, actions and KIDS!!! I am a great grandma. I have surely enjoyed you.
I would highly recommend looking into hydrotherapy for Lika. It would help her with her muscle building and atrophy tremendously while being easy on her body.
and baking Christmas cookies!!! A lot...
You're so creative.. i love your soul, Allie.
Leaka seems to be OK. Praise God.
Hello Trent, Allie, Leo, Billy, Frank, Lika, Branden, Jennifer and Grayson. Hopefully Lika gets better and no problems with that side like the other side.
Love your family❤❤❤I'm glad puppers is doing better. Enjoy your holiday season xx
A few well placed trail cams could solve the critter mystery and provide some extra lovely mountain footage 😀
It is coming along nicely you guys despite the weather/mud keep at while you are able.
Christmas is time to light the candles and send thoughts up to the people that left us to become angels and realize that they will always be connected to our hearts
Holidays are tough for me now that I am a bonafide senior citizen. At 71 years old, all of my aunts and uncles are gone. My dad died over 50 years ago, my mom died in 2018. My sister died last June. My father in-law-law who I was close to died in 2005, my mother-in-law is 90 and not doing well. All I have left are some cousins I have no contact with and my wife and daughter who has no kids. Lots more folks under the ground than above it. Lots of good memories though.
Allie, they are always there with you in Spirit. Much Love..
OMG! Love getting my fix Mondays and Fridays. You guys are so awesome to make us a part of your life. Thank you.
The first Christmas was the hardest when I lost my parents. It was also my mom's favorite time of year, so the holidays are always hard.
What a wonderful wife mother and daughter you are allie love watching you God bless xxxxx Maggie UK 🇬🇧
Need to show more of the work and finish.
Hope you find the critters before real winter hits. House looks warm and welcoming for Christmas. Miss having young children around during this time of year especially.
I love you Allie. Merry Christmas to the whole Trent and Allie Team, family and followers!!! Warm and loving feelings to all! ❄️
Poor Lika, have you looked in water therapy or physical rehab. It will help her as she ages to help strengthen the front end now.
Hi Trent and Allie and Leo and of course cute Billy. That siding is really looking so great and beautiful and it will be so good getting it completed before you get a ton of snow. I love how that covered deck keeps alot of that snow from bunching up higher and deeper. I also love all of the Christmas decor it is so much fun. Merry Merry Christmas to all of you, sending love and hugs, bye! 😂🥰🤗🎄🎄🎉💕💚💜💜💜
Bait and trap whatever it is has always worked for me. You can put a temporary shelf up for a small live trap.
Trent you should try a water level to do your siding. It made of a 100 foot long vinyl tube filled with colored water. You take the ends out and the water seeks level. You go around the house Corner to corner making a mark. They will be level
Merry Christmas to All your Family,!!! Love you guys and it feels like we are part of your family :)) Take Care
I can’t wait until you figure out what critter is in the house. Glad Liika is doing good. She’s a trooper. ❤❤❤❤
He is going through a growth spurt and probably needs more food ❤
Agreed.. I started puréed foods on my babies at three months because breastmilk wasn't sustaining them.
Allie, decorating for Christmas is a great way to connect your present and past. I collected for more than 40 years. However, my husband & I downsized and relocated over the summer. I spent a few months sorting through the ornaments and decor determining what to keep, toss and give away. It was worthwhile taking my time -- all of the decorations are giving my husband & me much joy. And it was lovely to see that my niece incorporated my village into hers.
Looks nice Allie. ❤
