.: SNOW in Killeen!

We had heard that there might be snow, though I was very doubtful...they called for it last week and even delayed school, though we didn't see a drop of snow. But Tuesday morning (22Jan) I woke up and looked outside and there it was...the first actual snow of any real amount I had seen in Texas since I was a little kid. It was falling thick and quick. The ground was already covered in a very thin layer of snow. I was so excited. I went into Sam's room quietly and whispered to her, "Guess what...it's snowing!" Sam lit up, got a huge smile on her face, and said excitedly, "Is it Christmas?" I laughed and said NO as I took her to her window to see the snow. She immediately wanted to go outside to get a better look. We grabbed Madison and got dressed for the snow. The girls thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It was so much fun!

Our snowman. This was the better of the two...so I'm not a professional snowman maker...I've only made one other one in my life, and that was when I was a little kid with my Dad and we gathered all the snow in the yard that we could get and tried to build a teeny tiny snowman (as in under a foot).

Sam remembered that snowmen need carrot noses. We didn't have any carrots but I found a plastic carrot from their kitchen, so Sam put the finishing touch on!
