Visibility was not very good for a very long time

Rory was so tired from playing so hard with Daddy, Mommy and sister all morning that she fell asleep in her high chair during lunch

We were all surprised by a late March blizzard in the Texas panhandle. We knew that the weather man must be serious when the Amarillo Independent School District canceled school. I'm not sure if the students or the teachers were more excited, but I do know that I have a husband and two little girls who were elated that school was out and that we were snowed in together. The blizzard started early Friday morning and lasted until very early Saturday morning. I think that the final totals were somewhere around a foot of snow for the Amarillo area with 40-50 mile an hour winds. Needless to say, we stayed tucked in for the whole of Friday and had such a fun time together! The girls couldn't have been more excited to have their Daddy home all day. They all three played on the floor for a good chunk of the day. The girls also got a real kick out of watching it snow and "drawing" with their fingers in the ice that formed on the inside of our glass door. They both panicked when their Daddy braved the weather to go out and shovel our walkway and make a path in our driveway (we didn't really want to be completely blocked in case of an emergency). The day included cuddling (all four of us together), playing on the floor, cartoons, watching the snow, white chocolate mocha (for the big people only), snow ice cream and James Bond movies (once again for the big people only). We couldn't have asked for a more special treat!!
