Snow Day!!

Last Thursday night, we got a pleasant suprise...4-5 inches of snow!!  It was crazy!! Sam and I were laughing so hard because when we first moved here, people were always saying "it rains everyday" which isn't true, "we never have thunderstorms" which happened the first week we arrived, and "it NEVER snows here"....haha, ya right!  :)  So because of the snow, the base closed down and everyone got a snow day on Friday.  Sam and I spend the day walking around the neighborhood and built a snowman and snow-woman.  I wanted to make a snowbaby but sam said that we couldn't do that just yet.  ;)  Here are some pics of how pretty everything looked with all the snow.

Thursday night...down comes all the snow!

(I was so excited!!)

Out our front window the next morning

Our backyard..the tree in the middle is collapsing 

because of the weight of the snow

Sam and Bello

Bello was excited because he'd never see snow before,

being from Del Rio and all  :)

Me and my baby Tommy

He was curious about what all this white stuff was...

And the making of snow-people begins

The finished product...

bad idea to put them in the planter though,

they got all dirty, oh well

Our lovely but ghetto snow gear...

but hey, we didn't think we were moving to where

we'd see snow

Our neighborhood

A park downtown Cambridge

My friends pic, but I thought it was so pretty

As I was uploading our snow pictures, I realized that I forgot to post these.  They are from Veterans day.  Sam was suppose to do a fly over this American Cemetery here in Cambridge, but due to weather conditions, it didn't work out.  But Sam and I thought we'd go out there for the service anyways.  The cemetery was absolutely beautiful.  We were very impressed.  The colors of the trees took my breath away.  Mom, I know you'll enjoy these.  :)

I can hardly believe that Christmas is just 3 days away!  Time is flying by!  Sam and I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year!  (especially since I was a slacker this year and totally forgot to send out Christmas cards...sorry!)
