Snow Day!

What better reason to jump back on the blog than to document our first snow day of the year here in North Texas?! Things started out a little sketchy when the power went out at about 4:00am. Come 6:30, the house was starting to get a little chilly. We actually used the gas stove to heat the house. Yes...a little ghetto and a little unsafe with a curious toddler running around! Luckily, power came back on at about 8:00 and we were able to cook up a big southern breakfast and start to enjoy our snow day! We made it out long enough to say hello to our neighbors and for mommy to get a few pictures to document Elly's second snow day. She enjoyed this one a little more than the last...

Too bad the wind was howling and it was bitter cold. We headed back in and tried out a little hot cocoa. Surprisingly, Elly is NOT a fan. I have tried giving her chocolate milk once and she started gagging! Hot chocolate was no different. Oh well, what can I say...I've got a healthy one on my hands :)
Hmmm...what's this white stuff? Is it edible?


What do us Texans do when we get a little snow??? We do whatever it takes to stay warm!

Here's to having power, no work and snow day 2011!
