Winter Storm Weekend

~ posted by Ben

This past weekend Mom and Bianca went to the College Plus conference south of Dallas for a couple of days. In the meantime Dad, Josiah, the twins and I were snowed in for the weekend! This is quite rare here so we thought we would take full advantage of it!

Josiah LOVED sledding again. He misses this a lot!

We didn’t dare go anywhere. Except of course for Dad, who braved the storm to go get some essentials from the store. Because of the rarity of snowstorms here, they do not plow or salt the roads when it happens. So the roads get REALLY BAD when a storm comes!

Overall, I would say it was a nice, relaxing weekend. We ate the delicious meals Mom left in the freezer for us; built lots of fires; drank a lot of hot chocolate, watched Christmas movies, listened to Christmas music, and watched football Saturday night. We were so happy that Mom and Bianca returned safely from the conference Sunday night and that they had a great time! We had an excellent time in this rare Texas winter wonderland!
