Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!

Talk about a prayer answered quickly! Wesley went to bed Tuesday night asking me if he could pray for snow....which wasn't in the forcast until Friday.

He woke Wednesday morning to his dream come true....huge snowflakes falling from the Texas sky!!
So... there was noooo way I was sending my kids to school when we had a chance to play in the snow. We caught the flakes on our tongue, made snowballs, and the highlight...made a snowman! After all the fun we could handle, I took the kids to school. As Wesley walked indoors, I rolled down my window and said, "Hey bud....thanks for praying the snow here." He got back in the car and kissed me goodbye! It was so sweet!
