Snowmen and Sunbeams and Highlights. Oh My!

Chapter One: Snowmen.
We have had a very surprising amount of snow in TX this winter. The kids have been loving it. My carpets... not so much. The kids go out and play, a few minutes later they (and their snow-covered shoes) are back in running through the house because it is just too cold outside. A few minutes later they have forgotten about their frozen fingers and toes, and are back outside again. For a few more minutes... I wanted to show the difference between our Christmas Snow (above) and our Valentines Snow (below)
Chapter Two: Sunbeams.
Miles is a Sunbeam now! That means that at church he is no longer with the little kids in nursery. He gets to go with Livee and Zoe to primary. He is a Sunbeam now and he loves it!
He really loves it!
Chapter Three: Highlights
(alternate chapter name: I'm the Coolest Mom Ever!)
For New Years Eve, we got to take a little trip to Round Rock and visit Uncle Bobby, Aunt Tiff, Kodi, and Degan. It was so much fun! We got to dress up for a "fancy party", make homemade pizzas,we decorated party hats and stayed up waaaay past midnight. (about 12:03 to be exact :) But for the girls the highlight hee-hee of the trip was the highlights! Yep, I let my little girls get a highlight. There was some leftover color from Auntie Leste's color. So why not?!
They felt so cool and sophisticated and grown-up. They also thought their mom was The Coolest Mom Ever for letting them. Props to Aunt Tiff too!

Pretty fun! They love those highlights. Just don't tell them that you can't see them. :)

p.s. Thanks to Celeste for the pictures!

You have the craziest weather over there in Texas, that is all I can say! It looks so beautiful covered in snow though.

Sounds like you guys have been having some fun over there!
