A Winter Wonderland

With just a small window of time in the basketball season, we hopped in the car on a 3-hour drive north to Brian Head, Utah, to celebrate Christmas.




As we arrived to the cabin ~ graciously lent to us ~ Molly and I took in the view of a ski slope just out the back...Molly loved watching the skiers!


We were in luck to park in a garage with all of this snow...cause I think we left our ice scrapers in Illinois!
Here is the beautiful cabin, where we stayed.




Christmas Eve, Molly opened her Christmas PJ's!





Is Santa really coming?
Here we are on Christmas morning...








Tea anyone?


While Daddy's cooking up some pancakes in the kitchen, Molly is preparing our next meal on her new set of pots and pans.


After a nap, Molly was very excited to venture outside!







It snowed ALL DAY!
Here is a view looking out the front door:

The next morning...




Once assistance arrived to clear the driveway, it was time to leave our Winter Wonderland... Here is the bridge right next to the house, which goes over the ski slope. Far below are the skiers/snowboarders heading down.







What an unbelievable memory. Between the snowfall in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago, and this trip to Brian Head, I think Molly has figured out what snow is all about :)
Merry Christmas!

Snow....in Las Vegas???

As you probably have heard, Las Vegas/Henderson saw lots of snow last week!
Here are a few photos around our house....







Because this town has no snow plows, salt, sand, etc.,
the schools experienced a very rare "snow day!"
Molly was not sure what to think of this neighbor's snowman at first....but now she loves him and will be very disappointed when he melts away.




A few photos from around the house :)

Happy Halloween!

We decided to celebrate Halloween at The District's 'Ghost Walk'

Of course, we had to stop for candy at Mike's favorite store at The District!






Oh goodness, Molly found her long, lost cousin!



Here's Molly - sneaking some candy without Mom knowing!!! Too bad the wrapper is still on!


Can we say Overstimulation?! But lots of fun!!!
