Winter Snow Storm....Day 1

Today we had a wonderful surprise...SNOW!! It started snowing at about 4:30 am and didn't stop most of the day! Caden still had to go to school, they closed it down just 1 hour early.

As Ben was driving to work his windshield wipers decided to stop working...so getting to work was interesting for him. He had to stop at every gas station to clear his windshield. When he got to work Volvo towed it for him and that got taken care of. However, I had to go pick up Caden from school and head on over to Southlake to get Ben. Kinda scary! I don't mind driving in the snow...due to so much practice while in college...I just don't trust Texas drivers in the snow! Luckily it was just a little slushy and wet. Thankfully we made it there and back with no accident!

Here are a few (ok, a lot) pictures of our fun! Did I mention that we got 6-7" of snow??

The boys...just discovering the snow. Noah thinks that the appropriate dress for the snow is cowboy boots, pj shorts and a hoodie. He quickly changed:)
Our backyard
When we got home from picking up Ben from work our car could not get in the garage:) We had to use a shovel. I must say...it has been pretty funny to see people trying to get in their garage. People were using regular shovels, brooms...whatever they could find! I have a feeling I won't see Ben doing this for a very long time!
The first thing the boys had to do was build a snowman!
Noah helping in the cause...
Connor wasn't feeling so good today, so we just got one quick picture with him to document his first snow:)
The finished snowman...Carrot nose and pom pom eyes and mouth, paint stir sticks as the arms.
Wrestling in the snow.
Ben and I went outside later that night and it was still snowing! It hasn't stopped all day! Everything was so pretty I had to take these last few shots! Here is our tree in the front yard.
Snowman...see the snow??

Overall...you just can't beat watching your kids playing in the snow and having a blast! Seeing their faces was just priceless! They have never seen so much snow before! Its always best to come inside for some hot chocolate and popcorn to warm up.
