This is getting a little weird...

Whoa. As I write this, snow is falling like a white curtain all over north Texas. We're lucky to get one episode of snow a year and today will make this our fifth or sixth time! Of course this means SNOW DAY! Daniel traded all of his meetings in the "Big D" for hot cocoa and snowmen! Hooray!!

Coen at Christmas

After all of the wrapping paper had settled, all of the Christmas dishes had been eaten and all of the merriment had been had, I flipped through my camera to re-live this Christmas. Looks like the only things that were important enough to make it onto "film" was the snow and my kid. Hmmm. Next year I'll have to force myself to capture moments that may not include our tiniest family member. :) Until then here are some pictures of Coen during Christmas!

Giving the train whistle a go. Needs practice. :)

Why do kids like these? I only got it because when I was shopping for his other gifts (all which came from Tuesday Morning btw) he pulled this off of the shelf. Go fig.

Drum! Finally!

Bags were the most fun to open! After he took all of the tissue out he would stuff it all back in. He's so orderly.

Sa-weet!

Loading up for Gramps and Grammy's. Coen got a good look at all of the snow.

Great stocking!

Hheeerree'sss ELMO!

Yay! A new silky blanket! Thanks Aunt Julie!

And Keys! His obsession! Thanks Aunt Becky!

White Christmas

In case you didn't already hear, Texas had a White Christmas this year!! It started snowing on Christmas Eve and didn't stop until late that night. It was a blizzard! Well, OK, not a real blizzard, but as close to a blizzard as we will ever see. On Christmas morning Texas was covered in beautiful, clean, white snow. Not your regular Texas snow coverage either. Huge, fluffy snow drifts!! Branches weighing down with the weight of all of it. I couldn't believe my eyes!! See for yourself!!

That's a twenty three inch snowdrift at my parents house!!

First Snow!

Yesterday morning we awoke to a winter wonderland!! Can you believe it? Right here in Texas on the second day of December? I was surprised, but not shocked. After all is was the second day in December in Texas. I mean...anything is possible. :)
It was Coen's first time to see snow! So like any good mother I took ZERO pictures of him out in it. Yyyeeaahh. I took pictures of the snow, and video of Coen seeing it for the first time, but not the two combined.

Sometimes my brain doesn't work.

So that makes me a little bit sad, but it's OK. Apparently there may be more snow in the forecast for this weekend! Fingers crossed!!

If I ever upload my videos from my camera I'll post the footage I shot here. Don't hold your breath though. ;)
