Record Snow in Texas!!

So everyone who knows me knows how much I LOVE snow. It is so beautiful. My biggest complaint about Texas (well, other than the fact that it is hotter than heck from May-October) is that we rarely see any snow, well I guess you can say this was the best Texas weather I have ever experienced. I am really proud of the local schools for staying open, very un-Texas like!! Usually if anyone in a 10 minle radius has seen a flake, all of the schools shut down. The snow was unbelievable!! The kids were super excited, it was also Valentine Party Day. It was a bit disappointing that it didn't really stick around. It all melted so fast. But, we enjoyed it while it lasted.

Ethan and Chase ready to play in the snow. This was around 5:00 Thursday afternoon. The snow was starting to cover the driveways and really accumulate on the grassy areas.



Top: View from Blake's bedroom window Friday morning....over a foot of snow!!
Bottom: Front of the house Friday morning, it had already started melting:(



It's hard to tell in this pic, but we had 12.5 inches.

Chase was so excited to go play. He ran out the front door and got stuck, turned around and fell down. Poor little guy couldn't stay vertical!!
Tony hooked up the 4wheeler and make a redneck sled out of an old table, some scrap wood, a chain and a Rubbermaid lid. It was awesome, Blake had a blast riding on it. I will try to post some of those pics soon!!
