Christmas Jammies

I love finding cute Christmas jammies for my kids. Last year they wore the warm fleece zip up kind but since Reece is getting so big it's hard to find cute one piece pajamas. I found these soft fleece two piece sets online at an after Thanksgiving sale. Raine loves anything Disney and Reece loves anything Marvel comic. They were very excited to open their new jammies and couldn't wait to put them on.

Heading to Park City on Christmas Day

On Christmas day, we woke to rain pouring down. We loaded up our snow gear, presents, food, wood for crackling fires, Dublin dog, and two very excited kids. Reece and Raine couldn't wait to see their uncle Brian and the snow covered mountains in Utah. Every time we crossed over into new state Reece would ask if we were getting closer and how much longer till we get there? Raine fell asleep an hour into the drive so I started reading The Tale of Despereaux to Reece. I am hoping to read the whole book aloud to him before I take him to see the movie. (such a teacher I know) We read about 6 chapters before Reece needed to go to the bathroom and became too distracted. We pulled off the 15 and took a quick pee break. Raine woke up so we had a snack and the kids played with some of their new toys. They were such great passengers. We watched Horton Hears a Who and The Batman cartoons. I wrote thank you cards and Mo navigated through some serious rain showers. It was getting dark so we all took a little power nap. I woke to flurries of snow out the front window. Mo was on the 80 cutting over to Brian's town. The weather was amazing, it went from rain to snow in seconds. The road was so snow covered we almost missed the Kimble Junction exit. After very careful navigating and patience we arrived at 4850 Meadow Loop Rd., our favorite place to visit! All in all, another super successful Hauguel family adventure.

SNOW in Las Vegas

Look how happy Raine is to feel the cold, hard snow.

I told her to take a bite and taste it, even after being a little apprehensive she had fun with it.

Here she is sharing her snow with me.

She couldn't wait to get on the playground.

When we we finally pulled into the driveway this is what we found in our front yard!

Look how much we had in the backyard!

While at school today I watched the snow come down pretty hard and heavy all day long. It's been 4 years since the kids have seen snow in Vegas. They were all talking about how it snowed when they were in first grade and they went outside to see it. Well, just before school let out I took the 5th graders outside to have a snowball fight. The kids were psyched! We ran around like a bunch of chickens with our heads cut off. The kids had such a good time. So did I.
