It was fun to see palm trees with snow on them. Our Mesquite tree lost some branches, because of the weight of the snow. Our cute neighbors across the street even went sledding down their driveway.
There was so much snow that McCarren Airport canceled a ton of flights. Tyler's mission buddy, wife, and 3 month old baby were flying from Maryland to Salt Lake, and had a layover here in Vegas. He called Tyler and said "What's with all the snow in Vegas?" Tyler asked "Are you watching it on the news or something?" He said ,"Uh,
No- from my window..."
They had to sit on their plane for like 4 hours before they decided to officially cancel the flight. So they stayed here for the night. It was fun to see them, but we wish it would have been under different circumstances (for their sake). We felt so bad for them! They couldn't even get their luggage. (Can you imagine, all this happening while traveling with a baby??) They decided to try and drive up there today so we hope they can make it!
Here are some of the snowy pictures:

I love the snow angel pics ;) We got about 8" beginning saturday at our house and we still have most of it because it has still been so cold. If we did not have 4-wheel-drive we would not make it into our driveway. I was hoping Jett would come this week so we could tell him that he was born when there was snow on the ground in the big STG but he hasn't landed yet...!
How fun for you guys! It sounds like Ty's companion was lucky to stay with you (since you were able to help with their baby needs).
Have a Merry Christmas!!
Ava is so cute!! I've never seen her so alert before.
I'm really glad you got to just enjoy the snow from inside your cozy house. It wasn't much fun to drive in, I can tell you that!
Wow, I didn't know it was that bad even in Vegas. That poor couple!
