Snow, Snow, Snow...and more snow

I am so grateful that my car's transmission was done being repaired yesterday because driving home today would have been well... an adventure. Yes it is snowing here in the Henderson/Las Vegas area. It started around noon and has not let up since (its 7:30pm right now) I've been taking pictures all day so I'd thought I'd post them for all to see. : ) Craziness!! I called my mother-in-law and this is how the conversation went:
Gayle: "Nancy!"
Me: "Hello!"
Gayle: "How's it going?"
Me: "Well, you know how you want us to move back to Utah?..."
Gayle: "yes.." (sounding very hopeful)
Me: "Umm... I think I am because I'm looking outside and it looks like I am already there!"
Yes this was teasing but very true, just take a look.

What our house and streets looked like around 2pm

The first thing they tried to do in the snow was catch it on their tongues

Next they enjoyed catching the flakes on their gloves. Ariana was just about to start jumping up and down when I took this picture. She loved the snow.

Next they ran around with huge smiles!

When we went out to the back yard the snow was starting to stick and Alexis and Ariana began eating snow like it was ice cream (its what they want as bedtime snack too!)

Ariana's snow man she helped make as the snow was just starting to stick right before nap time. You can tell she is very cold. Don't you like the mismatched gloves?

Alexis helped me build this giant snow man while Ariana was taking a nap. He fell over about 30 minutes ago because he started leaning the way the wind was blowing.

And it continues to snow...
