Let It Snow!

Some may find it questionable that yesterday was nearly 75° in Houston and today it's snowing. But me, I'm not questioning a thing. I just watched sheets of snowflakes fall from the sky and I danced and squealed the entire time!

I live in Dallas and it went from warm yesterday to crazy cold, but no snow! I'm jealous!

See...global warming has its up side too! How magical! Does it snow much in Texas? We're supposed to have some on Saturday. But our weather people are usually liars :( Enjoy your pre-holiday whitening, Miss Courtney!

How fun! All Burkley Deluxe needs is a little flask around her neck with something to get a little warm and toasty. ;)

little miss said...

I heard rumors of snow in Texas, only to be a bit jealous as it's 60 here in NYC!

I think the weather gods got it all mixed up - although, I'm glad you kids got to enjoy it!

erika said...

heather said...

Too funny! What did Burkley think?

Jules from "The Roost" said...

Jealous seems to be the word of the day. We had a very warm day yesterday, so maybe snow today?? Wishful thinking, I'm afraid.

Sarah said...

I'm jealous! We've just had rain, rain, rain lately. It would be great to have some snow!

Sarah Danielle said...

It snowed in Austin on Wednesday night! So amazing! Glad a little came your way too!

ps - Got your Cd in the mail yesterday, Derek & I listened while we cooked/ate dinner and had a blast! Thanks so much for helping us to "rock around our Christmas tree"

Oh fun. I was so happy when we got our first snow fall on saturday night. We took the pups out on a long walk so that they got to play in the snow.

Love the pics! Love getting to see your Kate Spade hat in action!

Stephanie said...

Yay! I'm glad you got some snow magic.

Your house looks ADORABLE with all the trim and lights, and I love the photo of the three of you in your winter garb. I bet Burks must like the cold!

I was watching the weather channel last night and they showed that big snow cloud over Houston and I thought of you! So happy you posted pictures!

I *Heart* You said...

wasn't it awesome? i went out last night and came outside after a few hours and there was snow on the cars, street signs, roof tops - everything! it was so pretty! i love your pics!

Karen said...

YAY for unexpected snow! Good thing you had seasonally appropriate tunes available with your new mix... :)

Tara said...

Ahhh...wish I were home so my baby could play in it. Except...Houstonians...heck, Texans in general can't drive in snow or ice! Stay safe!

Courtney said...

The snow was the best!! Your house looks completely charming with the snow- absolutely picture perfect! The photo of the three of you and the one of Burkly alone are adorable too.

My celebration was slightly less storybook- I danced on our hotel's parking garage roof! I was the only one up there (E wasn't yet home from work,) but I loved every minute of it :) Yay for snow!

please sir said...

How is it snowing there?! So crazy! Looks pretty though!

Carolina Eclectic said...

Everyone I know got snow except me! Whats up w/that?

No.35style said...

I think all we got was just a little sleet...like 2 minutes of it. Would have loved the snow since we rarely see it. The family picture is so cute ;) and I love your tree peaking thru the window!
