Christmas 2009, Part 2

Mark, the boys, and I drove back from Houston on December 23rd, a typically eight hour drive that managed to take a little over ten hours. Why? Well from Houston to DFW, it was a rain storm causing the delay and from Abilene to Lubbock it was snow! When we arrive at our house around midnight, we had a little more than a dusting on the ground. By the time the boys woke up around 7am, we had a good six inches! In some places it was even more because it was also very windy and blew up in snow dunes in certain places. Kolbe was fascinated by it, but wasn't too thrilled once he got out in it considering it came up to his knees. The "nose" as he calls it, was also very powdery and "dry" so it was hard to make a Frosty the Snowman. We tried though! (sorry, forgot to take a pic) We didn't even attempt to take Reagan out in it as it was freezing cold and as I mentioned, windy. (In Lubbock??? No way!) Even though it has warmed up off and on a little bit, we STILL have snow in some parts of our yard! Here are a few shots of us enjoying our white Christmas!
