It's a snow thing....


Ok so I made it to work this morning... I'm one of few. Since I live so close I didn't think I could use snow as an excuse, so I drove for the first time ever in snow... kind of crazy. I wore my Uggs to work and changed into heels when I got here. Yesterday I was wearing heels in the snow and it sucked. We got5 inches of snow last night. Up the hill from us they got 8 inches. The news said it hadn't snowed like this for almost 30 years!! More branches on our tree broke, schools are closed today.. can you believe it, a snow day in Las Vegas!?! Last night was so peaceful... it was almost creepy. We built a snow man in the front yard... a naked snowman... our neighbors' had clothes and Brandon was jealous. But I think we're addicted to snow now... I love it!! Everyone was in a childlike good mood yesterday, but I guess that's because it's so out of the norm here, if there were snow everyday I don't think It would have been as exciting.

Snowing in Las Vegas!!!!

It's snowing in vegas tonight... not just a little snow, it's sticking to the ground!!!! At lunch time today there were snow flurries, so when I came home Brandon drove me back to work in case it got worse... and I'm glad he did. I have never in my life seen snow like this... probably because I've lived in the bay area and vegas. Both are not places known for snow. I came home a little early to play in it because all I was doing at work was standing outside taking pictures with my co-workers anyways!




This is our street earlier in the day... very exciting!!!Snow at my work...






Back at home!





The fountain at my work






I thought the snowy palm trees were ironic...



This was on our way home from my work... we drove 10mph the whole way.

Our house.... our tree broke from the weight of the snow!!

Papa and Gracie in the snow.

Charlotte was our potty champ... She went outside. Clarice did not.
