Snow Day!

Dec. 4th brought us some winter weather- at least Houston's version of it. We actually saw a couple of inches of snow in our back-yard before it melted all away. Of course, Houston shut down for the day- Jason's office closed and the kids got sent home from school early. (OK, all my Utah friends, you can stop snickering.) We spent the afternoon watching movies next to the fire-place. While we haven't seen snow again, this has been the chilliest December I've ever remembered. We had four days of fog, and lots of rain and wind. Yes, we've had a few of those lovely warm and sunny days. But for the most part I've been able to insist that the kids wear their jackets to school. Which is the way it should be in December.

It was a nice day! And it has been nice to have cold weather even if we have to have fog and rain with it! Merry Christmas, Welkers!

Karen, you look so cute and HAPPY out there in the snow! I love me a good snowfall too, just in moderation :)

Sounds like you turned it into a fun day

You look cold! It's fun when it's a rarity, I don't miss the white stuff at all. Glad you had a good day, and could enjoy the snow for a day.

We woke up to snow in Sierra Vista this morning. One day of snow that melts by noon is perfect!! We know how you feel. Merry Christmas!
