Wellll, more like iced in. Dallas got hit with some bad weather on Thursday night, and we've been pretty much cooped up inside since! But we've made the most of it :-) Because we are an outdoors family (and maybe a little crazy), we got out in the cold Friday thru Sunday!
At first, B didn't know what to think of the snow...
Jameston had been asking to get out in it since we talked about the weather changing! He would wake up from his nap or nighttime slumber and look out the window first thing to see if it had snowed!
Winter Wonderland of a backyard
Our snow-loving boys! (and that bucket of chalk :-)
They had fun hitting and kicking the icicles off of the trampoline :-) 
Brett had to still work Friday, so this was some "mommy and me" time :-) We had fun but probably only stayed out there 45 minutes or so!
On Friday afternoon, my cousin and her son headed over since they were without power. We are so thankful to have kept electricity throughout the storm, as many locals did without.
Saturday afternoon, after naps, we decided to brave the elements and go to the grocery store. They boys had some extra energy we wanted them to burn off!
Later that night, we spent some more energy with our Advent calendar activity for that day: making home-made Christmas cards for family (trees that donned their fingerprints as ornaments)! We are forgoing the customized cards this year (sorry friends, one less in your stack) since we hope to send out a birth announcement once little brother/sister arrives!
Yesterday morning, the boys took turns helping me "wrap" their Aunt Maggie's present. It wasn't pretty, but it got wrapped. And they loved it!
And yesterday before lunch, we decided to do our own form of "sledding" down a small hill in our neighborhood. The boys rode in laundry baskets and had a field day! It was so fun to watch them take it all in!
Love my boys!
So blessed to have gotten to spend the last three days holed up together :-)
