The Snow Blower Christmas...

My dad bought a snow blower off the internet and after just a few uses the engine blew up. With the amount of snow Utah is receiving this year, my dad was just a little depressed about having to get the snow shovels back out. Well, on Christmas Eve, he went to Salt Lake to visit his sister and while he was gone, my mom, Debbie, John, BJ, and myself headed to Provo to find a new snow blower. We went to Home Depot and they had sold out of them that morning and they called several stores trying to find one in stock. They finally located one in Sandy which is about 45 minutes away from Provo. We were on our way when we decided to call Lowes...they had one in stalk and they matched Home Depot's price plus beat it by 10%. Needless, to say we only had to go about 10 minutes and my mom saved alot of money utilizing Lowes lowest price guarantee. We were able to load the thing in the van and covered it with a blanket. Job done!
A couple hours later my dad gets home from visiting his sister and tells us he stops in Provo at Home Depot and Sears hoping to find a snow blower and he couldn't even find any snow shovels as the weather was calling for lots of snow. He was so discouraged thinking he would have to use his old snow shovels with all the snow expected that night. It made the surprise even more exciting.
My parents have been receiving a secret elf every night between 9:00-10:00 so we decided we'd put it on the doorstep and ring the doorbell and he would think it was the secret elf...imagine his surprise when he opened it up to his "dream" snow blower. He was so excited! My pictures just don't do it justice but it is a Christmas we will all remember...(especially my dad).


So Thankful!!!
