Snow Days!

When 2014 began Avery had never seen snow.  There was a big freeze when she was around 1 1/2 but there wasn't any snow.  January and February changed that!  First, Avery had a snow day at her school.  They bring in a lot of snow for the kids to play in.  Last year she was sick and couldn't participate.  She was so excited about it this year!

 

She was a little underwhelmed when she first saw the snow pile in carline.  "That's it?"  It really didn't look like much.

Ash, Lil, Chloe, and I had some breakfast while we waited for Ave and Luke's snow day time slot.

The snow pile looked much bigger and more exciting up close.  She LOVED it!

 

 It was definitely a hit that Ave will talk about forever.  She loved the snow and actually cried a little when they had to go inside :).

 

About a week later, we had the real deal hit Houston.  There was a freeze and some sleet/snow that left a little bit of white behind in our backyard.

 

Chlo girl was ready!

And so was Ave!

I think Avery was a a little disappointed when she realized she couldn't pick the snow up and play with it. 

We managed to scrape a little off to make a snowball.

 A couple of weeks later, another round of sleet came.  Avery had no desire to play outside in it but Bill brought some ice inside so that she could make a snowman.

 

 

I have been amazed at how cold it has been this year.  It was fun while it lasted but now I am so ready for Spring! Bring on the warmth, time change, and barbecues!
