Christmas Snow

 By mid-afternoon on Christmas day, the morning rain shower had turned to snow.  And by the time Jack got up from his nap, this is what our backyard looked like.  

And the driveway...

And out the front window.  Whoa.  That's a lot of snow for Texas.  

From the first moment we ever looked at this house, I've thought there was the perfect sledding hill directly behind our backyard.  And evidently, several other people in the neighborhood agree!

So there was only one thing to do....   suit up!

Since we live in Texas and only get snow once every few years, we weren't exactly prepared!  Patrick had loaned most of his real winter clothes to our brother-in-law, Mark.  So, hahahaha... all he was left with was hunting gear.   Oh well.  Nothing was coming between this Daddy and his little boy going out into the snow.

 Day one consisted of Patrick showing Jack how to make snow angels.  Jack wasn't too interested in making one himself though.  

And snowball "fights" 

Apparently his teeth were chattering, his boots kept falling off and snow had gotten down inside his pants, but he was having a blast!  

 By the second day, we were prepared!  How cute is he in that little snowsuit? 

The boys did some sledding on the hill behind our house.

 

Jack was squealing as he slid down the hill - trust me!  I could hear him all the way from our backyard!  He did NOT want to come in!

 I love seeing our house all covered in snow!  What a perfect ending to Christmas day :)
