This was Monday morning, as the snow began to fall. Mo had just finished our landscaping on Sunday and we were thrilled to see it done! I was planning on taking detailed photos of all the work he did, when my plans were slightly thwarted by Mother Nature...
And then Monday afternoon it began to stick... but there wasn't a whole ton that stuck that day, maybe a couple inches when all was said and done. Enough for a little snowman in the backyard, that's it.
Then Wednesday came, and it snowed. And snowed. And snowed, well into the night. This was about 7 pm. If you click on the image you can see more detail... and how the snow even began to collect in the window panes, just like in a storybook! Our neighborhood was completely magical.
Because no one was sure when the snow would actually stop, and there were chances of several more inches dumping throughout the night, the superintendent decided to cancel school on Thursday to be safe. Las Vegas officially had a snow day!! This was our yard on Thursday morning.
The kids took full advantage of the Snow Day and decided to bring the sled to the park. They didn't even want to wait to actually sled on SNOW. haha
And at the park the two of them had a BALL making snowmen, building ramps, throwing snowballs, and playing and playing and playing and playing.
I took all sorts of pictures because I didn't want them to forget this day... a SNOW DAY in Las Vegas. Probably didn't need to be a snow day here (the roads were clear and everything), but I guess in the far southern side of the valley over 8 inches fell and people couldn't drive their card down the road!
Here's to magical memories this holiday season. We are on FAMILY VACATION till the 29th! Rick is off work and I am taking a work break. The kids are off school for a week after that, too. It's going to be GREAT. :)
