Texas Snowman #2

Tuesday was a day to remember in Central Texas. For only the 15th time since 1886, it snowed!---and I mean snowed! The pictures don't do it justice because they were early in the day and it continued to snow for most of the day---4 inches in total! It was sooo beautiful. The kids had so much fun and so did Jared and I! We are so greatful for this random Texas blessing. Also of interest--It was 76 degrees on Sunday. It is, of course, now melted, but as you drive through the neighborhood, you can still see dozens of melting snowmen. Fun! Crazy, Huh!

Notice the stark contrast in shovel size
