SNOW! SNOW! SNOW!



Well, the big news in our lives is that we had about 8 inches of snow in Allen, Texas! The news channels reported 12 inches in Dallas. It was a record snowfall that we have been enjoying for 2 days! It is AWESOME!! This is REAL snow that you can build with....not just the usual Texas ice/snow stuff we usually get. Theo, Levi, and Ruthie have been hard at work building ice caves, igloos, and snowmen. We got to spend the day at a friend's house yesterday while playing in the snow and drinking cocoa and just visiting. It was a fun day for all! The kids enjoyed having snowball fights with each other and watching their friend's big dog frolic in the snow. The kids would like to sled, but we couldn't get our Rubbermaid lids to work on these hills. Daddy will have to figure that one out! ha! I took them to the park today across the street. It was like a winter wonderland. So beautiful and so much snow! Ruthie, now an expert snowball roller, built a trio of ice people and an igloo. Their daddy, Rich also showed them how to build ice bricks using my bread pans. :) They would stay outside all day if their little feet and hands would hold up under the cold temperatures. ha! They are inside now drinking cocoa and warming by the fireplace and having the time of their lives!

There is so much snow that the bush at our next door neighbor's house completely broke and fell over in between our houses. Our little bush/tree in our front yard also looks pretty bad. We will have to assess the damage once the snow has melted. I can't ever remember getting this much snow in Texas. It has been a really fun winter!
