snow days in texas

the view from our front porch


oh, how i love snow in texas! on sunday we were surprised with a cold front and winter storm that dropped 2-3 inches of snow on our little house in plano, tx! fortunately, matt and i were both off work so we were able to enjoy a day snuggled inside watching NFL playoff games, baking cookies and watching the snow fall. the only sad thing was that our bradley class was cancelled for the day, which means we'll have to figure out if/when we can make it up before our little one arrives in march. after the snow had stopped and the roads had cleared up we headed to my parents' house to enjoy dinner, a roasty fire and watch a movie.
true to texas form, we *had* to take pictures of the snow, since it is such a rare occurrence around here, but we didn't make a tiny snow man this time. lexi enjoyed it a ton, though, since she is our cold-weather dog (see pics below), and it made me think of those snuggly days in ohio when i could sit and watch the snow fall for hours!
happy snow day!

Nothing like snow in Texas! :D Personally...I'm ready for boating weather...but I am always impressed with how quiet it is when it snows. Traffic and all of life seems to stop to take it in and enjoy it. It was nice to stop and enjoy the quite and watch the snow falling every so gracefully from the heavens. :D
