Let it Snow! .....

Let it Snow!... Let it Snow!....This morning when we woke up it was looking a little ominous outside. I thought it was just going to start raining but at about 7:30 I looked out the window and saw snow. So far this is what it looks like and it hasn't stopped yet.

Crazy that it is snowing here in Las Vegas. This however is not the first time we have seen snow here. We have lived here for about 7 years and I think we have had one day with a little snow every year. But never like this during the daytime. In years past we have only woke up to snow that fell during the night and then by the time the sun came out it always turned to rain. Well this snow started after the sun came up so it will be interesting to see how long it lasts until it turns to rain. The boys have loved watching it out the window. Maybe later if I decide to brave the cold I will let them go out and play in it. We will see though I am usually not that nice when it comes to the cold and snow. That is one of the things I have loved about being out of Utah is not having to deal with the snow every winter. But I guess I can handle it for a day or so. The one nice thing about it though is it does make it feel a little more like Christmas. We will actually have to wear a coat. We have still been in short sleeves.

This is one last picture that Gary took this afternoon after it had snowed all day. Right now it has pretty much stopped but I think we are supposed to get somemore over the next few days.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I know I am a little late as usual with this post. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We were able to go to Provo and spend the weekend with Gary's family. Everyone was there except Gary's sister and her family. We missed you guys so much, wish you could have been there. We spent the whole weekend just relaxing and hanging out with the family. I am so Thankful for such wonderful in-laws. They are all so kind to me and have welcomed me into their family like one of their own. I am so lucky to have them as family. I know so many people that don't have good in-laws so I feel so blessed. I am so thankful this year for so many things. I am Thankful for Boston and Preston. They can drive me insane but I love them so much and know how blessed we are to have them in our lives. I am so thankful for Gary. He is such a wonderful husband and father. He works so hard to give our family what we need and allows me to stay home to take care of our children. I am thankful for my family. I am so lucky to have been raised by great parents that raised me in the gospel and give me unconditional love and support. I am thankful for my sisters and brother and their families. I don't know where we would be without our wonderful families. I am so thankful for the gospel in my life. The teachings that we learn have helped me through so many things and I am so blessed to have those teachings in my life. I have so many more things that I could list but I don't want to go on and on.
Here are some pictures from our fun weekend.

We went to the Salt Lake Temple to see all the Christmas lights at Temple Square. They were so pretty and the boys loved looking at all the lights. They also loved seeing the temple. They would look up at it and point and say temple.


This is a picture of the reflection pond. They had a manger scene in the middle and then on the sides up a little higher you can kind of see the sheperds and there were different animals there.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I would also like to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season. I am so excited. I just started pulling out my Christmas stuff today. I am so excited to get the house decorated. I just bought a Christmas Tree online yesterday so I am hoping that it gets here soon so we can get it up and decorated. Merry Christmas!!
