Snow??? But it was 75 degrees yesterday!!!

Tuesday was 75 degrees here in Houston, which is pretty much the weather we have had the past few weeks. It will be in the mid 70's one day and high 50's the next (which is making everyone sick!) So, yesterday morning we woke up to mid 30's and rain! It was a bone chilling day for us here in Houston! The weathermen weren't making too big of a deal about it and just warned the northern part of Houston to watch for ice overnight. Therefore, we went about our day all bundled up, running errands and going to a Christmas party for Brinley and her friends in the evening. When we were leaving the party, we walked outside and SNOW!!!! Besides living in Arkansas in college, I have only witnessed it snow in Houston once before this, so this was a major deal!

I called Jason on the way home and told him to get the camera ready to take pictures. "For what?", he asked since he had been home the entire evening and didn't even look outside once! Once we got home, we took Brinley outside and introduced her to snow. At first, she wasn't too sure of it and kept saying, "I'm wet" but once she realized the crunchy sound it made as she ran, she was in heaven! After about 15 minutes, I got her to hold a snowball and throw it at daddy, which she loved! She only lasted outside for 30 minutes before wanting to come in, plus it was past her bedtime and she was tired!

Overall, it was a nice surprise and what a way to get into the Christmas spirit???

Brinley and her snowball....no she wouldn't keep her gloves on!
Rylee really enjoyed her first snow too! She ran around the yard and spent the entire evening outside. I would throw snowballs and she would catch them in her mouth...guess she should have been a snow dog!

Gotta love the pure enjoyment of this face! She was loving it!
