Snow in Houston

Houston is a little weird. For one, Christmas is supposed to be 75 degrees and rainy. Yuck. Snow is once-every-four-years rare. It snowed the other day and we really enjoyed it, but it didn't really change our evening. The snow started around 7pm one night. We watched it for a while and then went to bed. The next morning there were snowmen everywhere and I'm pretty sure every kid in the city was up until midnight playing in the snow in the dark. Never even occurred to us that it likely wouldn't happen again for years. A few nights later we went to look at Christmas lights. Living in the fourth largest city in the US makes this a daunting task. A website listed some of the more impressive displays and we chose a neighborhood that was a little far, but supposedly worth a drive. Once we got to the area we noticed that traffic was backed up and there were many police lights. It turns out that when you look at Christmas lights in the city you must park your car and walk through the neighborhoods. Since Addilyn was already asleep we drove home. Weird.


Here are a couple of videos to slake your Addilyn thirst. The first an attempt of a somersault. The second is one of her new favorite games. Riding on Daddy.







Merry Christmas to all of you and if you have snow and don't enjoy it I'll find that to be quite offensive.

Well if you were in Kansas, you wouldn't be having a snowy Christmas - just cold, bitterly cold. Keep laughing Addilyn - I love your footless tights.

I'm amazed her clothes from last winter still fit her.

No snow here... it all melted last week... sucks.
