The weatherman was right, for once. He predicted snow, and we got snow! It started last night, so I was excited to look out the window first thing this morning to see just how much it snowed over night. It was kind of like waking up on Christmas morning as a kid. The yard and field in front of our house were covered in a thick, white blanket of snow. I thought there was only going to be an inch or two, but there was at least 5, if not more. It was beautiful. I put on my robe and ran outside to get a few pictures.
I had to get our Texas flag in the picture!
Our backyard.
Before we went outside to play, I wanted for us to eat some breakfast. Connor ate oatmeal with banana and cheerios, and Aaron and I ate a cinnamon roll.
After we cleaned up the kitchen, we got dressed and went outside. Connor doesn't like being in his snow suit, so he doesn't look very happy. It could also be because it was freezing outside!
Connor's first time seeing snow!
Making a snow angel.
Kylie found a pine cone somewhere.
The snow was so fluffy and felt like powder. Kylie loved running and playing in it.
Aaron let me wear his boots so I wouldn't ruin my good ones.
We only played outside for about 10-15 minutes because I didn't want for Connor to get too cold. He was happy to take off his clothes and get a diaper change.
Love those chubby legs!
After he woke up from a 2 hour nap, we decided to go out one more time. This time I sat him in the snow to let him play, but he didn't do anything but watch the dogs.
When I saw how much snow we got, I told Aaron that I wanted to make a snowman. So, that's what we did. I put Connor's jumper in front of the glass door and then put him in it. He was inside our warm home, but could still see us making our snowman outside. It wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. Aaron said it was because the snow was so fluffy. We eventually did it, and I think it came our pretty cute.
We came in as soon as our snowman was finished. We ended our perfect snow day with taco soup and {burnt} cornbread muffins for dinner.
