Snow Day in Houston!














This is the second year in a row that we have had snow in December. Last year we were in the second week of December, and I remember driving to Hobby Airport to pick up my work partner... with the snow falling and dusting everything. This time, the snow began falling in the morning and it snowed most of the day - big, huge flakes, silently falling and eventually accumulating on our backyard lawn. It was great!





Nate still went to school (it's just across the street from us) and he and his class got to go out and play in it. Dave stayed home and we enjoyed it together... we did our "work", and looked out the window constantly. We wondered how any of the teachers at Nate's school could hold their students' attention for more than 2 seconds with the snow falling right outside their windows.





It was a Winter Wonderland for sure! And... it reminded me of the big snowfall we had in 2004 on Christmas Eve. It was our last Christmas with Dave's dad, and it was magical. The whole family was at our house, with the snow falling like crazy. We threw snowballs and made a very, very short snowman. It was such a sweet night...





So I thought I'd share a few pics of us from yesterday... Dave's iPhone didn't always capture the snow, but... for what was left of it (it didn't stick very much... a lot fell, but the ground was still too warm...)...here are the images!
