Snow and Santa

I'm sure you've all heard by now that Houston got some snow yesterday. It was our earliest snowfall since they've been recording weather. It was funny; Nan was in town on business and hung around a couple extra days and experienced her first snowfall of the season here instead of in Indiana. Here are some pictures of the snowfall. I have video, but I haven't watched any of yet. When I have some time I'll cut some of it and post it up here.

Cole was confined to his exersaucer outside. He's kinda over being in that thing now that he can crawl everywhere and pull up and cruise. But I didn't want the wet snow getting on his pants and feet, he'd freeze! He does enjoy the cold weather though. You can't see any snow falling in this picture. It had just started and was still pretty wet.

This was about 4:00 in the afternoon. We had two pretty decent downfalls during the day.

Brian and Carter made some snowballs and threw them at each other.

After we came inside, Carter found Daddy's after-ski-boots and my scarf. SO CUTE!

Today we went and visited Santa at Memorial City Mall. We got there at 9 only to find out Santa doesn't arrive until 10. So we shopped around until it was time to see Santa. Unfortunately during that time a line started and we ended up not getting out of there until 10:45. Cole was terrified of the white bearded man.

But Carter hung around to tell Santa "I want an airplane with people inside." We'll see if St. Nick obliges the little guy.
