It Snowed In Houston!

Ok, so I know the grass is still green here and it doesn't look at all like winter, but this was exciting for us in south Texas! We haven't had snow here since Hunter's first Christmas Eve and it was gone before sunrise Christmas morning. Hunter has been watching all the Christmas shows on TV and notices snow in all of them. He keeps telling me, "Mommy, when Christmas comes, it gets real cold and then the rain turns to snow, and it will snow Mommy when Christmas comes!" We keep trying to prepare him for no snow since there my likely be no snow here for many years to come, but he's not having any of that news. So of course now, he was right and we are just the stupid parents. What do we know?!!! We weren't expecting the snow to come as south as Houston on Wednesday, but low and behold I noticed rain outside that was falling silently and floating down like leaves. After a closer look, it was snow! Hunter was soooo excited! He ran around the yard for a while and was asking "when will it be enough to build a snowman?" I told him it doesn't usually snow enough here to build a snowman. That night all he could talk about was "when I wake up in the morning I am going to go outside and build a big, big snowman and throw lots and lots of snowballs!" Again, doesn't matter what we say, what do we know? However, just like it always goes in the bayou city the snow was gone by morning and 2 days later it was 70 degrees outside today. I'll have to check out my mom's pictures. Apparently the snow stuck on the ground for a while at her house (and she's even closer to the coast). Guess we REALLY need to send Hunter up to visit all his his relatives in Colorado. That's where the real deal is.
