New Years Holiday at Deer Hollow

After a painfully long road trip to Utah we spent an absolutely WONDERFUL week in Utah at my parents place and forgot (almost) about the long 21 hour drive. Every stay there is nothing short of luxury; the food, the accommodation's, the pillow top beds and feather pillows, people you love everywhere and to TOP it off with the best family ever... it is heaven on earth. Sometimes we go visit and we just have to pitch ourself asking "is it really real?" Because it was so cold that they had about 4 feel of snow we spent a great deal of time inside (very unusual there) playing games and watching movies.

My gorgeous mother and did I mention gourmet cook?

There's the crazy eye again :)


Burger and Dooey at the lodge.

One of the boys funnest past times was being pulled on the sleds behind the fourwheeler. It was so funny watching them fly around and squeal with delight.




Eddies snow fort.

New Years Eve Dance, the can can.

That's was our shoes look like, really not post worthy I just thought it was cute, all gathered up and ready for the drive home.

Looks like so much fun. I can't believe you DROVE 21 hours!!!

Guess what. My husband and his brother are seriously considering relocating their pest control business to Austin. We won't be moving there, though (that's the plan for now anyway). They're hoping to be able to hire a manager to watch over things while we live in either Idaho or Utah.

They're flying in sometime next week to meet with the owner of another company to talk "business." So, we'll see how it goes.

BTW, you are such a FUN mom!

Looks like it was a blast. I don't think I could drive for that long with five kids...or even just with myself :). Your mom looks exactly as I remember her!
