Snow in Texas

It snowed here yesterday!  And it actually stuck on the ground, which has never happened in the almost 4 years we've lived here.  

Oliver was in heaven (he's my snow boy, it turns out).  By the time he got home from school a lot of the snow in the yard had turned to mush, but he still stayed out there for hours, and managed to put together a little baby snowman.

They started school two hours later this morning, just in case things were icy and dangerous today (they weren't).

In unrelated news, here is a fabulous Valentine's card that Oliver made for me and Daniel:

 (note the fancy writing on the front - he hasn't learned cursive yet, but he's trying to teach himself)

Thanks, Ollie!  We think you're pretty great, too.

Decorating Cookies

Let's just say Henry was more than a little excited about his first time decorating Valentine's cookies. 

He could not get over how fun the sprinkles were.

And I can't get over how cute he is. 

I wish you could hear the sounds he is making in this picture.  Squeals of pure joy with a lot of growling mixed in.

I hope your Valentine's Day was just as exciting.
