It still amazes me how I cry every time they talk about Leslie. The fact that so many of us who only know her through the videos, can get so emotional , it speaks to the wonderful person she was. I never knew her personally, but miss her. Strange isn't it. There are not many people who leave such lasting impression. We miss you Leslie.
about Leslie….me too. 😢❤ “this is the angle we’re gonna show ya “ made me laugh out loud! what a Happy time …. she was there! Happy New Year Dear ones!!
Ditto. I cried alligator tears of joy and sadness and then joy at the end. I just love watching and following this family. And I live in the same state.
I guess I wasn’t following them when her mom was alive so I can’t recall her at all. Wish I had but I can still watch some old episodes I suppose. Always hard to lose a parent when you’re just having your own kids and they don’t get to know her at all. They’ll only know her through Allie’s stories in the future. :(
I'm an old guy who now finds himself alone for almost 7 years now. I do have siblings in this part of Texas, in several towns near the Gulf Coast. I know so well what family means to me and I find so much joy in the sharing of your family with all the rest of the world. I have been following you ever since you purchased the mountain property and feel like you are part of my family. I am so happy to see the joy on everyone's faces as you gather during the holy season and share your joys and new announcements with each other. I hope you have many more years of happiness together.
Ugh, I literally couldn't hold back tears... Congratulations to your brother and soon to be sister in law! Having watched your videos for years now, I can just imagine your mom getting excited over this news. What a happy way to end the year and start a new one. ❤
Soo excited for Michael and Becca! My heart aches for your dad, as he continues to process his grief. But he has two amazing children who love and care for him. And some wonderful brothers too! May God bless you all with His grace and presence.
I thought I was doing okay processing my father’s passing, but grief snuck up on me Christmas Day during our dinner. Grief is hard and hits me at unsuspecting times. Sending my best to all of you as you experience Christmas without Leslie.
Losing the matriarch of a family is so extremely difficult the first year of family celebrations and going forward. I commend all of you for celebrating Leslie everytime/chance you get. I can honestly say, Allie, there is no one more qualified to accept the role as you. You are the glue of your families, we see it, we feel it, and it looks good on you. Happiest of Holidays to you all, and Happy Birthday Trent.
I know from personal experience how difficult and emotional Christmas is when you are missing close family members that have passed. I’m so happy you found something to celebrate and feel happy about with Mike & Becca’s engagement! Congrats to them both. ❤🥰
I had tears when I saw your Dad with Billy. I remember seeing the first time my Dad held my son 40 years ago. You guys have the best family. I also get tears when ever your Moms name is said or see a picture of her. TAKE CARE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU. GOD IS WITH ALL OF YOU.
Your Mom was such a sweetheart. I didn’t know her but felt her genuine warmth,love and just so much good in her Heart. I really do see your Mom in Billy! God Bless you All🙏🫶❣️
I'm sitting here blubbering like an idiot at the events in this video. Knowing the joy of the holidays, families coming together to celebrate whatever holidays you observe. But especially the joy of the joy of the engagement of Michael and Becca!! And even though I know that brings great joy, I sat and watched your Dad and remember all those FIRSTS that one faces without their other half and my heart breaks for him and for your family. And what Michael said about wanting to make things better, everyone wants that, but that empty spot is just so evident and even though the joy of everything helps, the absence is undeniable. Anyway, I just want to say thank you for sharing all of 2024 with us! Wishing all the best for you all for 2025🙏❤️
Not sure I should be wiping tears this much on a Monday, but this video pulled on the heart strings. Michael & Becca, Congratulations on your engagement! The soft way Russell said, she would be so proud…the look in his eyes as he listened to Michael…oh boy. Joy and pain. Holiday firsts after a huge loss are so, so emotional. I’m glad you all had a good holiday.
It's like a second Christmas to watch you celebrating yours. I'm so, so glad that your mother knew and liked Becca and Becca knew and liked your mother.
They are good, happy tears, but I'm here crying my eyes out right now. CONGRATULATIONS, AND I SURE DO MISS YOUR MOM BEING IN YOUR VIDEOS! On the 23rd, it will be 29 years since my Daddy passed away in my home from cancer. He raised me as a single parent and was really a hands on Daddy, and my best friend. I was always a Daddys girl and so much of his personality is MY personality that he is still with me every day. Allie, I feel your pain, and I pray that 2025 is going to be a healing year for everyone. ❤️ Love you guys ❤
Me not crying...last week was 37 years since my mom passed at only 60. It's so hard when they pass, but especially when they're so young. My dad made it to 93 in 2017. My heart goes out to you.
Your mom Leslie and her very powerfully loving spirit, lives on in each and every one of you ... and in your every effort to keep this family going strong together. My heart goes out to yours, as you navigate everything that comes with such a significant shift. What a beautiful family full of lovely humans, your existence is such a wonderful testament to her life and her legacy lives on through you ❤
Congratulations to you all... 🎉. You all found the strength..to continue to bring the best moments together..and just as important ...it's not what is under the tree...but .it's who's around it xx ❤
Brandon is the SUPAH STAR (think Saturday might of old-when it was finny) of the critical cuts. Without Brandon, that whole project would have taken until the babies are graduating!
It takes time to do all the video work that Allie does. How could she do that and all the Christmas prep and celebration on Christmas. I love it no matter when the videos are posted.
Yep, Allie rises to the occasion and gets it done. She's young, healthy and motivated. Her entire family benefits from her ability to meet any challenge that's she's faced with. Both Trent and Allie are blessed with good, loving families. and friends. May they always be blessed.
Your channel is so fun. So glad you are telling your story in such a personal way. The good thing is that you will have these videos to look back on your life when you can’t remember it so much.
What an amazing way to end 2024.. Congrtulalations Michael and Becca!! The look on your dad's face when they told him was priceless. Much love hugs and positive energy to you and your whole family from this old MO grandma.
CONGRATULATIONS Michael & Becca! 💕 This made me cry with joy. We miss seeing Leslie so I can only imagine how your heart aches not having her with you all. Thanks for allowing Allie to share your engagement with us as well.
This was a LOT of celebration so I’ll just say HAPPY CONGRATS EVERYTHING 😂 Great video! After losing my hubby, I recognize smiling thru the pain to be happy for others after losing your everything. It takes great strength to smile thru the pain. Allie, give your Dad a hug from me 🤗 His strength is seen & felt ❤ While it’s hard, having family to help lift your spirits is a true blessing & I can’t think of a better way to lift spirits than an engagement & wedding to come! 💕💕
Oh wow, what a lovely way to end the year!! Congratulations, Michael & Becca. And happy birthday, Trent. I fell your loss Allie. I still miss my Dad, especially round this time of year ❤
I had a school friend (a girl) with the same birthday. She was surprised in 6th grade when I said I was sorry her birthday was so close to Christmas. Mine's a Thanksgiving birthday and often gets lost in that shuffle imagine the Xmas mess? My nephew was gifted a Dec 31st birthday for tax reasons!!
Congratulations to your brother and his girlfriend along with your first family gathering at your home. This was a very emotional episode. 🤗 Thanks for sharing. ❤️
I was NOT prepared for this. I was expecting siding and snow. The pain of loss on your your dad's face had me sobbing. How lovely to have a joyous family event to look forward to though. Leslie would be so proud of you all x
🍾🎉CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL AND REBECCA!! 🎉🥂 May you continue to have many awesome years together! Oh Allie l am in tears! This is great news. So very lovely of them to tell your dad on his own. He must be feeling really proud even though he must be thinking of your mum. I so wish l had some good news like that!! Allie you are doing so well with all that’s going on. Could you tell us which Uncle is from your mums side and which is from dad’s side please?! Big hugs for all!!
So Happy your family’s were gathering together for the Holidays. We are all energy & Allie your Mom is around you I gaurantee it sweetie! I would never leave my daughter! So nice to see your Dad thriving Allie! Congrats Michael & Becka🙏🙏🙏Blessings
Not me bawling my eyes out over Michael and Becc's engagement ... Congratulations you two! What a wonderful way to end a really tough year and start the new year. Leslie is and will always be there. Merry Christmas and here's to a happy 2025 to all of you!
Allie, Your family is beautiful. Leslie and Russel are very special people. I know your Mom was in that dining room when your brother shared the news of his engagement with your Dad. You could feel it, even through the screen.
Thank you to your brother for allowing his emotional words to be filmed! I am crying all the tears as this reminds me of our first Christmases without my MIL and then without my dad. Having something happy to focus on this Christmas was an amazing gift for your family. Many happy years to you both!
Congrats to Michael and Becca! 🎉 How exciting! December is a busy month for birthdays in our family too. My husband’s birthday is December 29, our second son’s birthday is December 28, our grandson’s birthday is December 3rd, and our granddaughter just celebrated her 1st birthday yesterday, January 5th.
I love the video! It was nice to celebrate again. Your Dad looks like he is doing well. I loved the way Micheal told the rest of the family about him and Becca.❤❤❤
I was born in 1969. There was the Sears wishbook and Spiegal catalog that our parents would order some toys and gifts from, but you still had to go out and shop for most things. It was that way the majority of my adult life as well, especially while my girls were growing up. I genuinely miss the shopping season, going out to the Malls all beautifully decorated, being amongst the crowds, Santa there for the children,... There was this amazing energy and Christmas spirit that came from being around all those happy people out on the same misson during the lead up to Chistmas. It all feels so different now... It's sadly lost a lot of the magic and sense of goodwill that widely existed among people. I miss it very much.
Gosh! Of course! Spiegel's catalog too. We also had a store called Brand Names and mom would save Green Stamps in a little book made to lick and stick them in to get gifts.
Shout out to Brandon & Grayson. Without them, Trent would be a one man show on the construction side of things... you guys are blessed to have quality family & friends!
Congratulations Michael and Becca❤ Leslie is just a smiling😊 she is very missed😢. But I know she's having a big time in heaven that's for sure❤ she's got special spot❤❤❤ hug those sweet boys for me they get cuter every video see y'all next one❤😊❤
You did it again Allie, When they told your dad, my eyes just filled up with so much happiness. I could also tell your dad was so happy, and you could see he was thinking of your mother and saying just how happy she would be. And I am positive with the love in your family, she was watching and experiencing the whole thing. Happy New Year. Much love from Switzerland
It’s lovely to see the family come together and share the wonderful new of Michael and Becca’s engagement, and honor Sweet Leslie. She was a precious presence in all the videos. You could see her love shine through her eyes for her family. She was so loving and kind. Happy New Year! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
I love the holiday festivities being shown. Family is the reason for the season, in my opinion! It's a great time to get together and show people what they mean to you through food, conversation and cuddling with children. Great video and great progress.
Omg!!! Trent saying he ran to Walmart on Christmas Eve to buy all his gifts made me chuckle- it’s been a running joke in our family for years that men always wait till Christmas Eve to shop.😂
The uncles... So bummed, wait, so happy! What a precious moment. Best wishes to the newlyweds and to your entire family. Thank you for sharing these wholesome experiences, it gives me hope for the future... :)
Allie…my mother had a great line when one of the 6 of us would ask her where our shoes were…she would reply, “I don’t know…the last time I wore them I put them away”!!!! Happy Birthday Trent & Merry Christmas to ALL!!! 💙💙💙🙏🏻🌎☮️🕊🎂
I am in tears seeing the family love and warmth you have. You are so lucky (maybe not the word I want to use) I truly love that you shared some of that w/us.
Trent's birthday is on my dad's birthday, Happy birthday to you Trent,Allie I know how you feel when I lost my parents. It was hard for a few years I hope your new year is good Billy iis getting so big and Leo so cute , I cannot wait to see what 2025 brings for the channel and your family sending blessings to you all
Now it's a new year can't wait for the graphics of all the new additions...and the latest one is so freak'n CUTE. He always looks happy with the biggest smile, reminds me of my youngest girl a cheerful baby.
Congratulations to Michael and Becca and your family growing! ❤ 🎉 You all honor your Mom in such a warm and respectful way. She and your Dad raised good kids. ❤
That’s the sweetest moment of telling his father he’s engaged, what a beautiful family you have your mum would be extremely happy.Brendon & Grayson bought you beautiful gifts for Christmas and birthday
I'm 66 years old and I still have baby fever. My grands are all in their teens and twenties so being able to watch Leo and Billy growing brings me so much joy. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family! This Alabama Nana loves you all so so much! ❤️
Allie, I understand your excitement for Mike and Becca. My 2nd son proposed to his girlfriend of 6 years December 28,2024. She is a wonderful girl and will be my first daughter in law. I have 3 sons and no daughters. Congratulations
Kleenex please!!! Congratulations to your bro and new sis n law!! So happy for your family and your dad was so precious. Your mom is smiling upon you all!! ❤🕊️
Congratulations, Michael & Becca! Your mother was most certainly present at that moment. Happy belated birthday, Trent. Allie, your mom would be so proud of you. The holidays never are easy when a dear loved one is no longer with us. They never get easier. They just become a new change. As long as you keep honoring her, she will always be with you. Hope you all had a very merry Christmas & happy new year!
Happy birthday to my birthday twin, mine is also December 26th. The struggle was real growing up with Christmas/birthday presents. Now that I just turned 47, I’m very happy that people forget my birthday. 👀😂
Them telling ur dad was so sweet, I think I felt ur mom n how happy n proud she would be because the tears just came strolling along as soon as I thought of her. Congrats to them both🎉❤
Thank you so much for sharing that with all of us! And of course congratulations to Becca and Michael. Hoping all the sentiments expressed come true for your family. Happy New Year Utah YT friends. Emotional ☺
I’ve bawled my eyes out. Your brother Mikes voice and words just got to me and I couldn’t stop crying. Congratulations. I don’t think until you lose a parent that you can understand what those words meant. I lost my dad and I still cry every event in my life including Xmas. X
It still amazes me how I cry every time they talk about Leslie. The fact that so many of us who only know her through the videos, can get so emotional , it speaks to the wonderful person she was. I never knew her personally, but miss her. Strange isn't it. There are not many people who leave such lasting impression. We miss you Leslie.
Same here. Thank you Trent and Allie for sharing your life with us.
about Leslie….me too. 😢❤ “this is the angle we’re gonna show ya “ made me laugh out loud! what a Happy time …. she was there! Happy New Year Dear ones!!
Same girl same
Ditto. I cried alligator tears of joy and sadness and then joy at the end. I just love watching and following this family. And I live in the same state.

Always hard to lose a parent when you’re just having your own kids and they don’t get to know her at all. They’ll only know her through Allie’s stories in the future. :(
So happy that my gift to you (the bellows) made another appearance on today's video! Glad you're having fun with it. 😄
We really appreciate it! Thank you again!!
Perfect gift!
The way Becca was so giddy when she met you in the bathroom. You could feel the excitement in her giggles ❤❤
I'm an old guy who now finds himself alone for almost 7 years now. I do have siblings in this part of Texas, in several towns near the Gulf Coast. I know so well what family means to me and I find so much joy in the sharing of your family with all the rest of the world.

Brandon's gift of a slow cooker is awesome. It can make life much easier when it comes to meals.
Ugh, I literally couldn't hold back tears... Congratulations to your brother and soon to be sister in law! Having watched your videos for years now, I can just imagine your mom getting excited over this news. What a happy way to end the year and start a new one. ❤

I cried through that whole last section of Michael's engagement story. What a lovely family you have, on both sides.
i did too!@
Merry Christmas dear family.
I had tears when I saw your Dad with Billy. I remember seeing the first time my Dad held my son 40 years ago.
You guys have the best family. I also get tears when ever your Moms name is said or see a picture of her.
TAKE CARE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU. GOD IS WITH ALL OF YOU.
At 70 I never had as a child, a warm family and your videos fill that spot ,thank you.😂
Same here! It means so much. Thank you!
Your Mom was such a sweetheart. I didn’t know her but felt her genuine warmth,love and just so much good in her Heart. I really do see your Mom in Billy! God Bless you All🙏🫶❣️

Congratulations to all.
Happy New Year.
Congratulations to you all... 🎉. You all found the strength..to continue to bring the best moments together..and just as important ...it's not what is under the tree...but .it's who's around it xx ❤
Brandon is the SUPAH STAR (think Saturday might of old-when it was finny) of the critical cuts. Without Brandon, that whole project would have taken until the babies are graduating!
It takes time to do all the video work that Allie does. How could she do that and all the Christmas prep and celebration on Christmas. I love it no matter when the videos are posted.
Yep, Allie rises to the occasion and gets it done. She's young, healthy and motivated. Her entire family benefits from her ability to meet any challenge that's she's faced with. Both Trent and Allie are blessed with good, loving families. and friends. May they always be blessed.
Allie and Becca scheming in the bathroom was so cute!
That was the sweetest. 😭 😭 congratulations Becca & Michael.
LOVE Becca's laugh. Congratulations to the newly engaged couple❤
Your channel is so fun. So glad you are telling your story in such a personal way. The good thing is that you will have these videos to look back on your life when you can’t remember it so much.

TRENT SHARES THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS MY HUSBAND WHO PASSED AWAY IN 2014. GREAT MEN ARE BORN ON THIS DAY.
Sorry for your loss in 2014. Sounds like he was a great person. :-)
@ He was! Thank you!
I had a school friend (a girl) with the same birthday. She was surprised in 6th grade when I said I was sorry her birthday was so close to Christmas. Mine's a Thanksgiving birthday and often gets lost in that shuffle imagine the Xmas mess? My nephew was gifted a Dec 31st birthday for tax reasons!!
Congratulations to your brother and his girlfriend along with your first family gathering at your home. This was a very emotional episode. 🤗 Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Congratulations Michael & Becca. The love and joy you all share and care for each other is beautiful
I was NOT prepared for this. I was expecting siding and snow. The pain of loss on your your dad's face had me sobbing. How lovely to have a joyous family event to look forward to though. Leslie would be so proud of you all x
Congratulations on having a new sister inlaw! I am so happy for your family !!!
🍾🎉CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL AND REBECCA!! 🎉🥂
May you continue to have many awesome years together!
Oh Allie l am in tears! This is great news. So very lovely of them to tell your dad on his own. He must be feeling really proud even though he must be thinking of your mum. I so wish l had some good news like that!!
Allie you are doing so well with all that’s going on. Could you tell us which Uncle is from your mums side and which is from dad’s side please?! Big hugs for all!!
Congrats to Michael & Becca! Hugs to all of you, the first year is always the hardest.
Congrats to Michael & Becca! Such a wonderful surprise! Those new traditions are so important
Dad looks fabulous
Congratulations to your brother, cried again watching this
Okay, y’all got me crying on a Monday morning ❤ congratulations for the new future Sister in Law ❤
So Happy your family’s were gathering together for the Holidays. We are all energy & Allie your Mom is around you I gaurantee it sweetie! I would never leave my daughter! So nice to see your Dad thriving Allie! Congrats Michael & Becka🙏🙏🙏Blessings
Family means everything. Cherish the time you spend together.
We use bellows to keep our fire going. Bought them originally as decoration but are now really useful!
It ends in S, but it's a singular entity. You bought IT, and IT is really useful.
Why am I crying? Congratulations to Becca and Michael!!
Not me bawling my eyes out over Michael and Becc's engagement ... Congratulations you two!
What a wonderful way to end a really tough year and start the new year.
Leslie is and will always be there.
Merry Christmas and here's to a happy 2025 to all of you!
Allie, Your family is beautiful. Leslie and Russel are very special people. I know your Mom was in that dining room when your brother shared the news of his engagement with your Dad. You could feel it, even through the screen.
Your brother has me crying so early in the morning. 😭Congratulation's, welcome to the family Becca!
Thank you to your brother for allowing his emotional words to be filmed! I am crying all the tears as this reminds me of our first Christmases without my MIL and then without my dad. Having something happy to focus on this Christmas was an amazing gift for your family. Many happy years to you both!
Happy Birthday to Trent. Congratulations to Michael and Becca. Well done Allie for hosting your first Christmas. The uncles look so sweet.
Congrats to Michael and Becca! 🎉 How exciting!
December is a busy month for birthdays in our family too. My husband’s birthday is December 29, our second son’s birthday is December 28, our grandson’s birthday is December 3rd, and our granddaughter just celebrated her 1st birthday yesterday, January 5th.
Probably my favourite part of your videos is Lika the protector just always around making sure you’re ok. Such a good girl!
A tradition in our family, after Christmas lunch, is to have a toast to absent friends. Memorialising those we have lost ❤
That's a great tradition!
I love the video! It was nice to celebrate again. Your Dad looks like he is doing well. I loved the way Micheal told the rest of the family about him and Becca.❤❤❤
I was born in 1969. There was the Sears wishbook and Spiegal catalog that our parents would order some toys and gifts from, but you still had to go out and shop for most things. It was that way the majority of my adult life as well, especially while my girls were growing up. I genuinely miss the shopping season, going out to the Malls all beautifully decorated, being amongst the crowds, Santa there for the children,... There was this amazing energy and Christmas spirit that came from being around all those happy people out on the same misson during the lead up to Chistmas. It all feels so different now... It's sadly lost a lot of the magic and sense of goodwill that widely existed among people. I miss it very much.
Truth.
Totally agree! I’m sure that’s why a lot of the malls and stores are closing up, sad 😢
I couldn't agree more !!
I too was born in 1969, and remember the sears catalog well. I’d get so excited to look through the wish book catalog.
Gosh! Of course! Spiegel's catalog too. We also had a store called Brand Names and mom would save Green Stamps in a little book made to lick and stick them in to get gifts.
Awesome news about your Brother's engagement, congrats to Michael and Becca and to all of you as well. Wonderful, can't stop smiling. :)
Shout out to Brandon & Grayson. Without them, Trent would be a one man show on the construction side of things... you guys are blessed to have quality family & friends!
🎉 Big congratulations to your brother, Allie! They are going to be so beautiful in their wedding outfits. May God bless them with a happy marriage!
Congratulations Michael and Becca❤ Leslie is just a smiling😊 she is very missed😢. But I know she's having a big time in heaven that's for sure❤ she's got special spot❤❤❤ hug those sweet boys for me they get cuter every video see y'all next one❤😊❤
You did it again Allie, When they told your dad, my eyes just filled up with so much happiness. I could also tell your dad was so happy, and you could see he was thinking of your mother and saying just how happy she would be. And I am positive with the love in your family, she was watching and experiencing the whole thing. Happy New Year. Much love from Switzerland
It’s lovely to see the family come together and share the wonderful new of Michael and Becca’s engagement, and honor Sweet Leslie. She was a precious presence in all the videos. You could see her love shine through her eyes for her family. She was so loving and kind. Happy New Year! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Dang it! I am sitting here crying. This is such a special video. So much love.
I love the holiday festivities being shown. Family is the reason for the season, in my opinion! It's a great time to get together and show people what they mean to you through food, conversation and cuddling with children. Great video and great progress.
Congratulations on the engagement! This family just keeps growing & growing!
Such a wonderful news of Becca and Michael to their most dear family. Congratulations! I’m so happy for y’all.
Congratulations to both Mike and Becka many blessings and god bless you all ❤❤❤❤🎉
That was such a touching moment with your Dad and Billy. So sweet!
Omg!!! Trent saying he ran to Walmart on Christmas Eve to buy all his gifts made me chuckle- it’s been a running joke in our family for years that men always wait till Christmas Eve to shop.😂

Congratulations, Michael & Becca! Your mother was most certainly present at that moment. Happy belated birthday, Trent. Allie, your mom would be so proud of you. The holidays never are easy when a dear loved one is no longer with us. They never get easier. They just become a new change. As long as you keep honoring her, she will always be with you. Hope you all had a very merry Christmas & happy new year!
Happy birthday to my birthday twin, mine is also December 26th. The struggle was real growing up with Christmas/birthday presents. Now that I just turned 47, I’m very happy that people forget my birthday. 👀😂
Haha relatable 😂❤

Thank you so much for sharing that with all of us! And of course congratulations to Becca and Michael. Hoping all the sentiments expressed come true for your family. Happy New Year Utah YT friends. Emotional ☺
I’ve bawled my eyes out. Your brother Mikes voice and words just got to me and I couldn’t stop crying. Congratulations. I don’t think until you lose a parent that you can understand what those words meant. I lost my dad and I still cry every event in my life including Xmas. X
