It snowed on Thanksgiving. Adam and I were in Dallas visiting his family, so we missed it. However, my sweet neighbor Jessica, took a picture of our house. Isn't it beautiful?
It snowed again on Sunday. The biggest, fluffiest snowflakes filled the sky for hours. This was a new coating of white, as the one from Thursday was gone on Friday. Adam and I set up our Christmas tree while Luke took his afternoon nap and the snow gave me holiday tingles.
When Luke woke up, we were anxious to introduce him to snow. He was not impressed. Adam tried to coax him over to touch the snow. Luke kept his distance. This was the closest he got to it. I think he ventured to stick one finger in the white one time.
The tree, on the other hand, was a huge hit. Gasps of oohs and aahs accompanined a very excited pointing finger. So far, every morning when we walk into the living room, he points and the tree and says, "ligh, ligh." We have yet to actually decorate the tree, but it does have lights. I am hoping it will have ornaments on it before Christmas.
I am sorry I have been an unfaithful blogger. I think of you, my blogging friends often and long for a little computer time. Here are some pictures from Halloween. Luke loved his costume. He wore if for several days. I hope you are doing well and enjoying the business of the holiday season.

I've missed you, friend! It was good to receive this update on your world. That picture your friend Jessica took, with the snow cropped on all the tangle of tree limbs, is breathtaking. How cool that you got snow! I'm guessing that's unusual in Texas?? It's definitely unusual in both So Cal AND Florida. Harumph.
We were watching some football game on Thanksgiving and saw it snowing, but we didn't get so much as a flake in our neighborhood! I'm jealous.
And now this weekend it's supposed to hit 80, I think!
Snow in Abilene. Seems I remember times like that, as well as a huge lighted longhorn near your parent's house!
Love the pic of you w/Luke under the snow pic. (I don't blame him for not being too excited to touch that stuff.) And you know I'm climbing that tree this summer! Love you and miss you!! I think of you and your family often.

Yeay!!! You're back!!! Look at you, lovely lady. :o)
We just got some snow here too. It barely stayed a day, but did enough damage while it was here. It sure was pretty to look at though (when we didn't have to drive in it). :o)
Your house & yard look LOVELY in the snow!!
