Snow Day

Yesterday, we woke up to snow on the ground. First thing in the morning we had a bit of snow on our roof, lawn, sidewalk, etc. When Eme woke up the first thing she wanted to do was look out her window and then to get outside. We continued to watch the snow pile up throughout the day. The snow just kept coming down consistently all day. Eme was so excited to have Dane come home and play in the snow with her. They played in the snow for 30-40 minutes as soon as he got home and even attempted a snowman, but failed. We were grateful to Grammy for getting Em some snowpants because they came in handy. With continued snow throughout the day Thursday and into the early morning hours today, we received 12 inches of snow. To my knowledge, since moving to Texas in 1990, I have never seen this much snow at once ever. Because of the slush, the freezing temperatures on Friday morning made the sluch ice and Dane was able to use some leave to stay home Friday and not risk the treacherous road conditions today. It was so fun to have him home on a Friday. We took it easy and made yummy sugar cookies. It was a fun 2 days of snow and play. I love the snow, but in many ways I don't mind seeing it go quickly either!
