A Wonderful Alleman Christmas!


The one above is of  all of us before getting on the Grapevine Tarantula that took us to the Fort Worth Stockyards--it was so much fun! It was great to get our 5 boys and our daughter and all of their beautiful families together for Christmas!  Below are just a few of the pictures we took for you to enjoy!

 
Matching shirts--not planned--but pretty funny! 
 
 
The traditional Christmas Line-up!

 
Below are the nameplates that Dad carved and engraved for all the boys--they all loved them!

 
The grandkids all dressed for their Christmas program with Aunt Kacey getting them laughing!  Kirsten did such a good job as the Narrator with Beth as Mary and Jordon and Gavin as Joseph and Eric as Samuel.  And Leah as a sheep with David, Robert, Millie and Katie as other needed parts of the program.
 
 
And Owen as the Baby Jesus

 
 

Owen and Alex's first Christmas!

Dad's West Point Diploma Frame--it is beautiful and will look great in his Office!
 
 
Grandpa's tractor rides are so much fun!
 


 

 
Below are some fun family pictures of our train ride as well as other fun family pictures!
 




 

 

        
 



Below is a special picture of Robert Stuart with his two Grandpa's who he is named after--he has a great legacy to live up to.
 


Game nights were so much fun!  Darlene and Chris would have to trade off because the boys go to bed so early.  Although, Darlene was really nice and let Chris come over quite often to spend time with his Brothers.

 



 Below is a special picture of a Christmas line-up picture that was "re-enacted" by the kids--Leah sure looks like a little Kacey!  Thank you Kacey for planning this picture--we love it!
 

Below is a picture of Sister Alleman while we were Skyping with her--you can just see the happiness and the Spirit in her face!  She loves being a missionary!
 
 
Below is one of my favorite pictures of all of us after we went to the Temple--this was an experience I will always Treasure!  I love our Eternal Family!

 
And I couldn't end this Blog without some pictures of the Minions that Dad has carved--they are great!

More Utah pictures, Brewer Reunion, and our trip to Pocatello.

Beth was so cute with Leah, she would treat her like a little sister.  They are dressed as pretty Princesses in this picture!
 
 
It's hard to get Robert to hold still for a picture--but we were able to get this fun picture with Robert and his Dad.

 
This is a "before Church" picture of Eric, Beth, Robert and Leah--all dressed for Church.  I love their happy sweet faces!

 
While we were in Utah, we were blessed to be able to see all my siblings, that doesn't happen very often.  We met at a park for a picnic and were able to take these pictures of the Brewer family and our spouses.  I love this picture with my Mom and Dad, they are such a blessing in our family and we love them so much!
 

 
We are also very grateful for Grandma and Grandpa Alleman and enjoyed our time with them in Springville.  They are both doing so well, we love them very much!
 
 
We had such a great time in Idaho with Kacey, Tyler and Leah in Pocatello.  We were able to take some fun pictures of Leah at this fun park that we went to the first night we were there.

 
A cute picture of two beautiful "Sisters" that we love so much!  Kacey and Megan enjoyed being able to spend time together!


 
Tyler and Leah spend a lot of time at the park and have so much fun!  Leah loves her Daddy!

 
This is a picture of Leah's Birthday party and all of us eating all the good food!

 
Kacey and Tyler planned a barbecue one night and below is a picture of Tyler barbecuing delicious hamburgers and hot dogs for us!

 
And here is the rest of us relaxing in the backyard and enjoying being outside while Leah would ride her new little car around that her parents bought her for her Birthday! 


 
This is a family picture we took before going to Church in their beautiful home.  Tyler was set apart as 1st Counselor in the Elder's Quorum Presidency at church. We know that his family will be blessed from his Service.


 
This is the "girl picture"--we just loved our "girl time" and being able to spend time together! 

 
Dad also loves his girls! 

 
Below is a picture of Kacey and Tyler's little house, it is such a cute home and is just the right size for them.  Leah is sitting on the front porch and you can also see the Texas red star near their front door.  They share our love of Texas!
