snow day!

Our friends from college, Jeff and Nicole, live in Austin and we try to get together every so often. This time they were unexpectedly in Dallas for the weekend and stopped to spend Sunday afternoon with us... It was so nice out, we had a great walk! Then a couple days later we got the biggest snow that a lot of our friends here have ever seen :) And it was fun to have the snow falling...

Just wanted to show you our little heaters that we bought and cleaned up :) They were so ugly before, but I really like how they look now. Never underestimate the power or spray paint!

Our front yard at the height of the snow storm on Tuesday. It hasn't snowed like this here for years and years and years, so I'm told. The next day while the sun was melting everything, you could drive down the residential streets and see the yards lines with little melting snowmen! Everyone got out to play in it, it was such a novelty! Even though the roads were perfect the next day, a lot of stuff was canceled/delayed. I wish I had a picture of those yards with all the snowmen! Our yard is completely back to normal now, like in the top picture, and it continues to be a beautiful spring.
