Ever since the day after Thanksgiving Taylor has known something different was in the air. First it was the house down the street with their colored twinkly lights, reindeer, and Christmas trees. Then it was the cold weather and all the Christmas books mommy kept bringing home. Next it was getting the Christmas decorations down from our attic. The excitement of running around the house and finding somewhere to put a decoration was priceless. Or was it the sound he makes when we turn the indoor and outdoor Christmas lights on... ohhhhhhhh, pursed lips and all! Finally, the understanding that we are giving presents away and that it's a "secret until they open it". They're little sponges and they remember everything you say!
So when Friday came and the chance of snow flurries was in the forecast, we couldn't have been more excited. This would be the first time that Taylor has ever seen snow! With the golf course closed for a "snow day", Andrew was home with Taylor, armed with a camera (his new Blackberry cell phone, which was not what mommy was thinking), waiting patiently for snow to fall. When you don't ever get snow it's like waiting for water to boil... it just can't happen fast enough! Gosh, how great is it to be a kid and run around in the cold, cold weather while pure white snowflakes hit you in the face! The hard freeze was just as much fun the morning after.
Waiting 30 minutes at the Thanksgiving table for dinner to start!
The snow finally started falling during first grade recess! If you weren't there, you probably wouldn't believe that it truely did snow. Only lasted an hour and then the sun came out... only in TEXAS folks!
