It's Beginning to Look A LOT Like CHRISTMAS!!

View from front door..

View from Backyard Balcony- usually can see the strip..

The front of the house..

Off balcony at corner palm trees..

Ellie and Noah out in the backyard- Noah lasted A LOT longer then Ellie did.. she started crying soon after and said "COLDY!!- I don't like the snow!"

Eating Pita Chips with Hummus and Drinking Hot Chocolate after playing in the snow- who knows when I'll be able to say that again....

PEOPLE- This is VEGAS!! There is snow on our palm trees! Notice the total ghetto clothes from Christmas two years ago? We just don't buy snow clothes here. The kids LOVE IT!! And I must admit that it does make everything seem really festive.. NOT that I would want to LIVE IN IT everyday for a whole winter- but definitely fun once in a while!! Plus- think of all the cases Colin can get of all the Las Vegans who can't drive in the snow.. :)

Isn't this CRAZY?? There's a good 8 ish inches in our backyard. Holy crap!!! I'm FROM here and I've never seen anything like this in this city. EVER.

We might as well be in UTAH for crying out loud! This is nuts! So does this mean we get a few less days of 110 degrees next summer to make up for this mess? I think it's only fair. The kids love it, though, and it definitely helps the Christmas mood. I was on the road for a bit today...let me tell ya, Colin should have some new business from this for sure...Nevadans can't drive when it is dry, let alone in the snow! Seriously!

I heard about your snow in Vegas!!! My s-i-l lives there and she was building a SNOWMAN...that is crazy! We have had so much here in Oregon! Seriously I think it is over a foot! They canceled church last week and today. And lucky me...school was canceled all week long too! Crazy weather! So 2 weeks Christmas vacation just turned into 3!
