Snow Day

Yesterday it started to snow in Las Vegas around noon.  It kept snowing until way after the sun went down. Here's a video documenting the snow, hey it's a novelty here, just bear with me. 

                                 
 

And here are some pictures of what the kids did with all this snow.

They got all bundled up.

The neighbor girls recruited them to build a snowman.

I guess Kyle was there for the heavy lifting.

Lana was pretty good at rolling the snow balls around.

The girls were hard at work and I wondered where Kyle ran off to.

Ah ha...look no further I found him on top of the camper making snowballs to throw.

He wasn't the only one throwing snowballs!  Lana's friend from down the street came over to join the fun.

The neighbor girls finished the snowman.  Didn't they do a great job?

All this snow means only one thing to the school aged kids...will we have a snow day tomorrow??  Yes indeed they did.  Here is what we did with our snow day.

We journeyed to the mall with letters to Santa in hand.

Lana wasn't feeling her best so no smiles today.

We found the Santa Mailbox at Macy's

Dropped our letters in.

Then had some lunch.

Lana's first Hot Dog on a Stick.  She's now hooked.

Oh the wonders a snowy day brings.

How Fun.. I'm totally jealous of the non snowday...
And what a great snowman! In my little community park, someone started a snowman but ran out snow! All they had was one big ball.
Happy Holidays!
