On Friday, December 4, 2009 it snowed in Austin, TX! And believe me, it was a big deal around here. The news stations talked about it every day until the "big day" finally arrived. By 12:30 I was starting to think we really weren't going to see snow. I was working on laundry and as I was going to get another load I passed by the windows at the front of the house. That's when I saw the snow falling. I think I was as excited (or more) as the kids. It tooked a looooong time to get shoes and coats on but once we did we went outside and enjoyed the falling snow. None of it stuck but it snowed for about 45 minutes. The kids ran around the whole time. Of course, I took pictures because it's not something we see here very often. I think it's so funny that we've been telling the kids about getting to see snow when we go to Idaho for Christmas and they got to see it in Austin. Cade's very first time in the snow was here! Too funny! After the snow stopped we went inside and enjoyed some hot chocolate. I think that's a mandatory post snow activity. : ) It was so much fun seeing the delight on their faces. I can't wait to see them in "real" snow when we are in Idaho!
