We had a fun surprise when the kids woke up from naps on Christmas Day to find the ground covered in snow. Wow - it's not very often that we get a White Christmas in Texas. We stayed indoors on Tuesday but braved the 20 degree temps on Wednesday to enjoy the snow.
I love the view from my parent's front porch with all of the snow.
The kids enjoyed playing with all of their new toys while being cooped up inside.
Kerplunk with Papa
Teaching Grandma Jane how to play her new Leap Pad. Hard to believe that over 100 years separates these two. She turns 104 on Saturday.
All bundled up and ready to go play in the snow.
Brody was not a fan of the snow. His reaction to the snow was similar to his reaction to the sand this summer at the beach.
Shovel sled
When you live in the county you can go sledding in the john boat.
It didn't work so well the first time so they tried a second time.
Brody was not interested in riding in the boat.
After the boat, they moved on to sleds made with cardboard boxes and shovels.
Harper loved it!!!
Dad remembered doing this with us back when we were little. So I dug out the old pics from 1988 when dad pulled Carol and I around in the snow using the same materials.
Like mother like daughter! Check out the gloves. Harper is wearing the exact same ones that I wore 25 years ago!

We sure enjoyed the White Christmas this year!
