It is Snowing!!!

I have NEVER seen snow falling from the sky before today! I have seen actual snow on two occasions, once when I was two or three, and I don't even remember that, and then again the first Christmas Dave and I were married when we went to Dallas and enjoyed the leftover snow on the ground for a few minutes. Today Dave called me and told me to get the girls up from their naps because it was snowing. I told him that sleet wasn't real snow and wouldn't be worth getting them up for. Much to my surprise, I walked outside a few minutes later to actual snow! I thought it wouldn't last long enough for me to get the girls up, dressed, and out the door, but when it lasted for about 15 minutes, I decided I should try. I got them up and dragged them out the door to see their first snow. Ally was oblivious to anything but outside freedom. Emily complained the first 5 minutes about how it was too cold and how she wanted to go inside. I may have gone overboard in the picture department and you can't really tell it is snowing, but I wanted to remember this once in a lifetime occasion. After all, how many times does it snow in Houston, Tx?!First impressions, Emily hesitant, Ally ready to make use of her outside freedom!

Always happy!

Not always so happy.


They like each other a little bit. I think Emily was just trying to get warm.




After snow glow.

I love the red nose! At least she is happy!
