Snow for Christmas!

For the first time since 1918 -- it snowed -- and stuck to the ground (on Christmas) in South Texas. Our estimate is that we got around 10-14 inches between the afternoon of Christmas eve and 4 am on Christmas day. That might not sound like alot to most people that actually get snow during normal winter months...but for here...it's absolutely amazing.

As sick as we all still were, we played in the snow. My oldest loved daughter loved it and learned very quickly how to make snowballs. Good for her, bad for us; no where was safe! The younger 2 kids liked the snow for about 5 seconds and then they got smart and went back into the house to play with their new toys.

The hubby just cursed me over and over again, telling me that if I ever wished for that "white shit" again, he'd kick my ass. I proceeded to sing, "Let it Snow" and "Dreaming of a White Christmas" for the rest of the day.
