Playing in the snow - at home this time!!!

We are enjoying SNOW in our area today!!! Although it's fun to play in and pretty to look at, the best thing is that Jerret was home early from work yesterday and is off today! The thing about snow in Texas that's very different than snow in Colorado is that it's a total novelty. It's an event when it snows and a holiday when they call a snow day. I have seen more snowmen in yards here than I probably ever saw in Colorado in 30 years! I have also learned of snow ice cream in the past couple days. Yep. I now have two different recipes for this. I haven't tried it yet but I will let you know how it is if I make some. The things Coloradans take for granted...
(After publishing this post, it came to my attention that at least one of my Colorado friends has made snow ice cream. Maybe I'm just out of the loop!)

Our neighbors (who we NEVER see outside their house) actually built a snowman about 8 feet tall!



And then there's the Texan version...



Willow loved it of course

Bruce is warped for life - we are now sure of it. We have to withhold seconds on things like celery at dinner in order for him to eat anything else! I know some of you are thinking "Heck, let him have more celery. I would kill to get my kid to eat celery". Don't get me wrong. We are very happy that he has a taste for healthy food! He just can't live on celery alone, that's all. I can picture it now. He gets to high school and the other kids let him in on the secret. "Dude, nobody really LIKES celery".

He won't fit in here for long!



Awwwww...



Daddy's clothes are still a bit big

"Nite nite Mommy"



Autumn laughs and smiles all the time! She's a happy little thing. We still haven't been able to catch it on video, but there's a cute one below anyway. :)
