For the first time in our 12 years in the Houston area it snowed today.
We were doing school and Lily asked what was falling from the sky, I looked out and said 'that is snow' so we all went charging out in to the front yard. After years of reading storybooks set in snowy places, think Narnia, my kids got to see real snow falling from the sky! We even got Annie up from her nap to experience it and dug the hats and scarfs out of the toy box for the occasion.
We took a walk in the 'snow'. After about 30 minutes it was gone. But that was a joyous 30 minutes, we celebrated with hot chocolate covered with marshmallows and whipped cream on top. Mark had put on a fire earlier in the day, so we had the whole winter experience!
