A Texas Winter Wonderland!!!

The great snowman.

Fun in the snow.
Angel making!




Scott having fun too!!

They tried, but never made it very far.



Let’s just say it took something like a miracle to get me to blog again . Life has been so busy like everyone else, but I just couldn’t resist this opportunity and had to share it. Here goes…

Anytime we hear there is a chance of snow we are never very hopeful that we’ll see more than a flake or two. This past week the weathermen predicted 80% chance of snow with accumulation expected, still a bit skeptical. When we all headed out the door on Thursday morning the snow had already started to fall. By eleven it was still falling and school decided to let out at 1:00 to ensure everyone could make it home safely. We do live in the country with lots of rural roads for the busses to navigate. By the time we headed home the ground was already covered with several inches and more was to come. It snowed continually until about 3:00am on Friday morning and even a little more when we woke up. Now the ground was covered with about eleven inches, in Texas, who would have thought. We passed the record from 1978’s snowfall. The kids had so much fun and I know that they will always remember this snow because they may be in their 30’s also the next time it comes around. I got some great pictures while we made some great memories. I’ve shared a few with some of you already, but here are a few more.


This is Thursday afternoon.

This is Friday morning! Picture perfect!

All else is going well in the Shell home. We are just finishing up the basketball season and the kids have had a great time and have really improved since last year. Scott is getting ready to return back to work after his knee surgery before Christmas. He's done really well and didn't stay done for long. I never had a chance to post a blog during the holidays so I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. We sure did! I didn't get around to sending out Christmas cards either. We were waiting on getting our family pictures done first and now it looks like we'll be doing those in the spring. I have had trouble getting these pictures right where I want them as it seems blogspot has some functional problems. It likes to put all the pictures at the top, go figure. Until next time.....God Bless!!!
