Snow in Katy, TX

Today we received an early Christmas present. We had about four inches of snow at our house. The kids woke up this morning with a little bit coming down outside their windows but nothing really stuck. By 11:00 it was coming down hard, keep in mind that we live in Texas and so this is hard for us. The ground was covered in white fluffy stuff within minutes. The schools released everyone early due to inclimate weather. I think it was more because they didn't know how to control the kids going crazy in their classrooms over the flurry of snow outside. All of the teachers took their classes out and they all got to play in it and have snow ball fights. Once we got home from picking them up they all made a mad dash to get out of the car so that they could go play. They made a 3 foot tall snowman at the neighbors and had lots of snowball fights and made snow angels. Tonight the Christensen's and the elders in our area came over and we had tortilla soup and cheesy enchilada soup. It was so yummy. The kids don't seem to mind the cold, other than their hands burning. However, I am dying. This is why we live in Texas and not somewhere freezing cold. I have to admit that it was fun for one day but I am glad that it is not an every day occurrence.
