SNOW in Dallas!

We actually had snow here in Texas, like real snow! I grew up in Colorado, so playing in the snow during the winter was an every day thing for me and my sisters! I have a lot of great memories of playing out in the snow, making snow angels, building forts, attempting to build igloo's, making "snow seats", using real snow in our snow cone machine, lots of good memories! It was so much fun playing with my own children in the snow, I had forgotten how fun it can be! Some of my memories of snow growing up, are not that great (getting stuck on the road and having to shovel our car out in the middle of a blizzard while having to pee, shoveling the walk before school...several times because it is still snowing while you are shoveling, getting pelted in the face with snowballs...OUCH!, falling face first into the snow, slipping on ice and hurting your bum...you know, stuff like that!), so it was nice to be able to put a good name to the snow again with my kids!

Zeke's first time in the snow! He didn't so much like sitting in it or touching it, but he liked for us to hold him and to watch the girls play!



The boys!


Of course, the girls LOVED it!
Snowball fight!!!!!










With every good snow, there has to be a snow angel made!



My sweet boy!




Bear liked the snow as well!
