We got a White Christmas!!! It rained all night and turned to freezing rain this morning when we woke up. By the time we were finished with breakfast it had turned to snow and so we all went out to play for a bit. The snow was falling fast and we had 3 inches within a couple of hours! I wanted to hurry and share these picks, but we are now under a blizzard warning for our area because of the wind (I can't believe I'm even able to say we have drifting all over here) and the snow is still falling steadily. We are under a 4-6 inch warning, though it isn't expected to stop until late this afternoon and Richard just came in from getting the mail and said it is up to the knees in the driveway! I think we just might be surpassing that 6" expectation today! It's CRAZY!!! Here are some snaps of earlier when we were playing. We couldn't stay out too long though because the wind was pretty bad.
Just to give you a little clue about how INSANE Texas weather really is... yesterday it was 70 degrees and we were playing outside in short sleeves. We went to the Festival of Lights in Chickasha, Oklahoma Tuesday night and though we put a hat and mittens on Jansen he took them off and preferred to wander around in just a coat... and he was fine. I didn't even wear a coat and it was after dark in December down here. I didn't even have a chill. So... to wake up to all this today was quite a surprise. If I don't get too distracted I'll take and after pic when the snow stops falling just to have evidence of how much we actually end up getting!
If it is this wild here, our prayers are with our families up North battling the weather this holiday and their safety with traveling or keeping warm.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!! God Bless us One and All!!
Frosty the Snow Cody! Zoey wouldn't let him share the big dog house while we were in the front yard playing!
I vote snow - NO!! Jansen wasn't a fan, but I think it was more the wind that he didn't like than the snow itself.
Look at the camera Daddy! Notice the snow blowing around us in the pics! It was stinging because OUR snow isn't the nice powdery stuff of the North, but rather icy!
Cowboy Rhon toughing out the frigid weather! I can't believe that my car is covered so much! That lump of "stuff" in front of the car that is covered is the lawn mower! To think we were landscaping just the other day!
The Abominable Snow Daddy with the frosted glasses!

It's like that's the weather we should be getting up here. But instead we're getting rain!! I think God thought that each one of our states needed a change of scenery:)
Just popping by to wish you and yours a very late Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Loving the pics of the snow - so magical
