A late Texas Christmas










We got our "White Christmas"(a little late) but the kids didn't care. Evan actually thought that Christmas would shortly follow. We had so much fun. It snowed on a Monday night, did you see the great shot with the moon and the snow falling? Really that is a ball our kids left outside, but it looks neat!! As you can see the snow was already melting the next morning. And Natalie really loved eating the stuff!(Yuck!) I could not keep her from putting it in her mouth.

Then it snowed again on Thursday while Zach was in school. They closed school early and they were out on Friday! Yep we actually had a snow day. The kids had so much fun. When Zach came home Thur he went straight for the backyard and started to make a snowman. Evan didn't like the flakes falling on his face, but Zach could care less.


On Friday the finished their snowman and Zach insisted that they had to dance around him, singing the "Frosty" song. Funny, huh! Natalie had breakfast outside!!! Then we went sledding on our great hill in the backyard. We had some make shift sleds, since we thought we would never use a sled in Texas. Even Natalie had fun sledding. By 1:00 the snow was pretty much gone. We sure loved it while it was here.




That morning in our prayers I said that we were thankful Heavenly Father had sent the snow. Evan was amazed that He was the one that sent the snow. So he decided that he was going to pray for snow every day! It hasn't worked yet, but stranger things have happened!

These are so cute!! I can't believe that it snowed that much and then just melted away! Your so creative to use the storage bin lids. I am glad that you got to enjoy a little bit of the snow. It just wouldn't be winter without the snow! Fun,fun,fun!!!!

Evan's hilarious, praying for snow every day! I'll bet you're hoping that answer to that one is "No." And as for Natalie eating the snow, I think it's kind of natural. I was still eating it in 6th grade! Of course, that was the same year we caught stomatitis from it, but oh well :)
