Snow in Texas

During the past few winters, we have been blessed in Dallas to have a few opportunities to experience what an actual winter feels like. Luckily, this year was no different. It started snowing late at night and it kept on coming all through the next day.
We get so little snow here that even us adults make sure to enjoy it while it's here.
Leila was already asleep when it started, so Ryan, Rebecca, Ella and I went out to have some fun. (We took the monitor with us, of course!)

Becca REALLY got bundled up!
And then we went out to play!
This dog is definitely a snow dog!


The next morning brought a site to behold...
The backyard was beautiful.
The snow was still coming down, but it was already inches deep...

The front yard was even prettier - all covered in white...

We, again, went out to play. And this time, Leila came, too!

Ella had a great time.

I even had a snowsuit that I bought on sale a long time ago, in faith that we'd one day have a daughter to wear it and that one day we'd live in a climate that warranted wearing a snowsuit. So far, we've only achieved one aspect of that, so we wanted to take advantage of the perfect snowsuit weather.
Ella loved it and wanted to play with Leila so badly!
But, Leila isn't quite ready for that vigorous play.

She didn't seem to enjoy sitting in a fluffy suit that prohibited her from moving...
But she was fine as soon as her daddy picked her up.

Down one end of our street
And the other

The neighbor from across the street came out with her dog, and the streets were so full of snow that people were staying in their homes, so we let both dogs off-leash to run and play together.
They had a blast!
And Leila loved it too!
It turns out she's a snow-baby, too!
Ella even played outside after the rest of us had gone back in.
She's quite the snow-dog.
Aren't we blessed that we got a snow-baby, too?!

What a wonderful day!
