Thanks Santa

This year the boys all got what was on their lists! Santa did all right.
Garett was stoked to see his Tony Romo jersey.
Weston was pumped to see the boarding gear.
Colton is going to be the most prepared next time they go hunting.
All in all this Christmas was grand. The family parties rocked, the snow was beautiful and we all took time to remember the reason for the season. What more could a mom ask for? Not much ~ I feel 100% blessed. Some times I have to really wonder how I got so lucky. I married my best friend, I have 3 amazing boys, I have a famiy that is unbelievable. I am so blessed.

Let is Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Well Old Man Winter finally made his way to Utah. We have had several inches of snow and it has been bitter cold. Christmas Day it snowed and snowed. Then that night the winds kicked up and man driving home from Dale's was an adventure. Tom just took it nice and slow.
The boys were suppose to go rabbit hunting the 26th but they closed the freeway up by Snowville so they had to postpone the trip. The boys, both young and old were very bummed out ~ but better safe than stuck.
I snapped a couple of shots of the boys, Weston, Colton, Tom and Blake shoveling the snow but they not only shoveled our snow they took care of the neighbors as well. Talk about great guys!
While the boys shoveled Tom scanned the hillside for deer ~ what a guy. JK/LOL He really did help them.

Holiday Parties

We celebrated Leatherow style on Christmas Eve. We gathered at Dale and Eileen's for soup and finger foods.
Dale gave us all a Christmas quiz to see what order we all grabbed the gifts. I am not quite sure who was the top winner but we had a riot. Tom took home some spices, I took home a whisk ~ the gifts are always a laugh. It is so much fun.
We exchanged gifts and I believe everyone was happy.
Corben got to open his Christmas Eve jammys and model them for us~too cute. Liam of course is always a hit. That boy is always so happy.
We ended the party around 10:00 or so and headed for home so the head jolly elf could find us.
Thanks again for a great time!

Holiday Parties

This year we celebrated Christmas Heil style on December 20th. As always the food was fantastic. To determine the order in which the adults got the gifts from Dad we played Dominos. And guess what Tom and I WON! We ended up with a head-lamp and a couple of movies. To top off the Domino experience Dad and Jo gave each family a wooden set of Dominos that they made. They are too cool for words. We of course exchanged gifts with everyone and just had a ball.
K.C. and Alicia called in and told us that they are being transferred to Pearl Harbor, HI. They will be moving in about a year or so. How exciting for them. I told Tom that gives us plenty of time to save up and take the boys over for a visit.
This was A.J.'s first Heil party and she was a hit. Misti had her dressed in the cutest dress at first (it was Misti's dress when she was little) and then dressed her in the cutest pair of Christmas jammys.
The night was a blast!
