Here we go again!!! Snow Day #2

As I said in my previous post....snow is a rare thing in Las Vegas. Well, it happened again today. We haven't received as much as we did on Monday, but there is most likely more on the way. I am adding the following link to the paper that said Las Vegas McCarran Airport has officially closed along with most of the roads into and out of Las Vegas. I told Chris to throw the truck into four wheel drive before he heads home! http://www.lvrj.com/news/36335684.html This was the perfect day to stay home and make my pretzels.....but I had to be running kids here and there. But, we are now home for the afternoon and enjoying the snow. The following pictures are from down on the Strip....even when we get snow up here in the "foothills" it rarely snows all across town. Here's a link to the severe weather statement!

SNOW DAY!!!!

Nothing like a little of the "white stuff" to get you in the holiday spirit! Every once in awhile....we get a little snow and today was the day! The kids were at school, but as soon as they got home, the neighborhood descended on our back yard for some snow ball fights. It won't last long...so we must enjoy it while we can.
Not bad for Vegas!

Even Batman (aka Tanner) enjoys the white stuff!
