Winter weather in Texas is always fun! This year has started off without exception. A crazy, crazy ice storm that had the whole metroplex shut down for basically 5 days! People think Texans are crazy - but really all that white you see in the pictures is NOT throw snowballs and make snowmen snow. This is ice. But we still got out to play in it - especially since we were going a little stir crazy.
Bundled up and ready to check out the "snow"
Piper thought it was pretty great too!
We did lots of ice skating on our drive way.
So we did make 2 snowmen after lots and lots of effort squishing chunks of ice together.
We also raided the cabinets to keep us busy baking! We made pizza, donuts, and cookies!
And there was lots of cuddling!
We also took a tub out to the driveway for some fun, fun sledding!
Cabin Fever didn't affect me or the girls too badly, but Daddy was itching to get out. He concocted a plan to WALK to a Campo Verde, a Mexican Restaurant that he thought was less than a mile from our house. Game for adventure, we all bundled up to go get some warm food!
Daddy had kind of questioned why the world had shut down until we actual got out on the streets and sidewalks - it was a slippery nightmare. I really was worried that we were all going to fall about 100 times on the trip!
Finally! We could see Campo in the distance - it was a little further than he thought and we were frozen, but we were rewarded with queso!

The trip home was a lot more daunting. But it was fun!
Taking a break from sliding for a pic.
Later on, we warmed up by the fire with smores - yumm!
