"Blizzard" of 2015

After two years here in Texas,
we've learned that we just can't look at winter the same anymore.
This week, we welcomed the tiniest bit of snow/sleet/ice,
and schools were closed both Monday and Tuesday.

It's not the snow that's the problem,
the roads just get super icy and the city of Dallas isn't
prepared to make them safe.
Despite the lack of actual real snow for things like sledding,
the girls were absolutely thrilled to see a little white out the window.

Vic and I have great winter memories from growing up in the Northeast,
so I was determined to have Lexi and Ryleigh take advantage
of the "storm".
When it only comes about once a year,
you're much more willing to enjoy it.

We had lots of snowball fights - which they absolutely loved.
We built the tiniest little snowman/snowblob.
We searched for (and ate) all the icicles we could find.
And then we invited some buddies over to continue the fun.

No snow day, no matter where you live, is complete without
lots of hot chocolate and marshmallows, so that's just what these
little ladies enjoyed!
Go figure that Wednesday, the day real, true snow was falling,
was the day they returned to school.
Only in Texas!
