We made it!!! Snow and all!!!

Snow in Vegas...who knew, right? Yea, so our plan to come and have a warmer Christmas out of the snow and ice was changed a bit. Vegas had a huge snow storm yesterday. They received up to 8 inches in some parts of town! The airport basically shut down, so we weren't sure if we were even going to be able to get here today. Luckily, everything calmed down, and visibility got better, and we were able to leave and get here in a reasonable amount of delays. Nothing serious anyway. My mom was stuck in Salt Lake, and so we actually beat her here. The kids thought that was kinda funny.

The flight went really well. Marina, of course, had some "I wanna get off this plane!" moments, but would pass as soon as I could find something else to distract her. She did, however, spill her Dr. Pepper all down in between her legs and on the seat. So, she was deemed "Pepper Pants" for the remaining flight. It totally looked like she peed her pants, even when they dried. Ewwww! The older 4 just played their DSs the whole time. They really are great kids and great travelers. Marina hasn't been on very many trips at all, so she needs some more practice. (Guess that means more travels...if only!)

The kids got to see 2 of their cousins today, one that we just met for the first time. Little Maddie, who is only a few months old, and Kayslee who is almost 2 now. I think all the kids scared the living daylights out of her, but she eventually came around and was playing with them. We can't wait to see the rest of the family as they start to show up.

Thomas had his Spanish final tonight and felt good about it. He has 2 more tomorrow, and then he will join us here in Vegas for the next 2 weeks!! Yippee!! Play time for us!!
