A White Christmas

We live in North Texas and lets just say we don’t get a lot of snow. Normally plenty of ice but not much true snow. Now I’ve been talking about wanting to move somewhere up North sometime after the wife graduates school, like Minneapolis, just for the winter weather. This past Wednesday it was fairly warm outside, to the point that you didn’t really need a jacket. So, imagine our surprise the next morning to see our yard covered in snow.

It was so amazing and beautiful to see this much snow. Having lived in North Texas and Oklahoma my entire life, I have never seen snow like this. Since I’ve never seen snow like this, I had to get out in it and play like a kid. So, I got out with my kids and dove right in and rolled around for awhile. Its just awesome. The only thing better was my kids being able to have a white Christmas and they have been so excited for the snow. It took Christmas to a whole new level for us. However, now I really want to leave Texas and move up North. We have been posting pictures to flickr, so check them out.
