I did not think such miracles were possible, snow in Texas, at Christmas-time? Or as Brooklyn put it this evening, when she walked outside to see if it was true.
"OH, Dreams do come true!" I'm so glad they do. I wanted two things this year for my kids... one of them was to play in the snow, I have such fond memories of snow. Snow is actually one of my very favorite things... not in a cold, wet, way, but in a just-fallen, drifting, sparkling, quiet, clean kind of way.
We frolicked in the wet white stuff for a few minutes. Then the fun began, a tiny (and I mean TINY) snowman was born, there were snowballs galore (who even taught Tyler about those???) and just plain smiles all around. It was freezing, literally of course, but I seemed to be the only one who felt like frost bite was nipping at my fingers.
Hot chocolate beckoned inside to warm up. I thought we were well on our way to bed time when our nieghboor rang the doorbell and pelted me with a snowball. That began a whole new round of fun. There were more snowballs, laughs, and stories of their (our neighbor's) beautiful 12 foot tall real tree. IT was memorizing, I didn't want to take my eyes off it.
So, it was a special, magical, unforgettable evening when it snowed one December evening in Texas

I can't believe it snowed in Houston!! We have been thinking/dreaming of moving to Houston for a few years now. I keep thinking that I would miss the snow - now I know I would see some every once in a while!
