We woke up on Valentine's Day to lots of snow! Little did we know that it was only the beginning! The younger three kids were excited to go out and try their hands at sledding and any other snow activity they could think of. Clare was less inclined to "play" in the snow. It was SO COLD....the coldest temperatures I've ever seen in Texas.
As the week wore on, we got more snow, and it got colder. We were lucky and never lost power, but we did have a pipe freeze and burst. The Texas homes aren't built for these temperatures!!!
I ventured out one morning to take a few pictures. It was so pretty and there was so much snow.
Later in the week, the sun came out and Clare tried her luck at sledding. The kids were out of school all week, and she had lots of fun with friends.
No one was quite as adventurous as Graham on the sled, though!
We felt very lucky to have heat and water through the whole ordeal when many people did not. In true Texas form, it is 70 degrees less than a week later!
