So . . . it really CAN snow in Texas!

Last night, while we were at church, it started snowing. My friend ran into the choir room after practice to tell us all. I went to get the girls from their children's activities, and saw that all the kids had been outside and gathered up cups of snow. You'll see the girls displaying theirs, above. They insisted on keeping the snow in the freezer last night.
We have a late start to school today, so I wanted to go outside and capture the phenomenon. Have you ever seen a tropical plant covered in snow?
Standing in some Coastal Texas snow.

Banana has never, ever seen snow before. He wasn't sure what to think about it. He said, "Mamma, I made my foot! Look!"
And you can see him pointing at his footprint, below.

That was an awesome night! Brent, the girls and I stayed out until 1 or 2 in the wee hours of the morning playing in it!
