Snow!!! In Texas?!

Can it be? Oh yes, White Oak had snow!

It started snowing yesterday but nothing really stuck on the ground. Last night it started to snow harder and the temperature dropped, so the cold, fluffy, white stuff started building up. When we woke up at 7:30am this morning, we were greeted by this:
A winter wonderland!!

Adelyn put on her excited face:
(Ha, just kidding!)

We all bundled up and headed out into the backyard to frolic in the snow before it all started to melt away. But first things first, how much snow did we get?
We measured 6 inches in our backyard! (Dallas got 10-12 inches. It was a big snowstorm! But I digress. We don't live in Dallas.)

First we took some pictures to commemorate the event:
Brrrrr.
Birds in the trees.
Daddy and Adelyn love the snow!

And then I began the project that most everyone embarks upon after the first substantial snow - building a snowman!
Rolling the base.
Starting on the middle.
Got to pack the snow juuuust right.
Putting the finishing touches on the snowman.
Ta Da! Addy's first snowman!
She was very impressed.
Hellllllo!
Addy likes the snowman's... ears? Antlers? Antennae?
Wow! Now that's a good looking snowman!
Yippee! We love the snow!
Nova wants to come out and play in the snow too.

Then we drove out to visit Derek's grandparents:
Where are we?! I thought we were in Texas!!
Winter Wonderland
Derek's pump jack is all snowy!
Visiting Great-Grandmother and Great-Granddad Dollins

It was a very nice winter day :) The snow will be gone by tomorrow (temp is supposed to get back up into the lower 50's), so it's a good thing we enjoyed it today!
