Our Day as it Snowed in Texas!

This is how I found Jackson when I woke up this morning, admiring the snow....
When Aaron got home from work this morning, he ran Jackson outside for a minute to throw a few snowballs.   Aaron then jumped in the shower. The whole time Aaron was in the shower Garrett was whining, "Help me throw snow toooooooo!" So, Aaron quickly ran back out with Garrett, which is why Aaron has on short sleeves....
The boys helped Pawpaw build a fire this morning and then I decided they could each build one of their own.
{a fire that is more on a 1 year old and 3 year old level}
After lunch {don't let Jackson's pajamas confuse you about the time of the day},
it was time for s'mores....
        
Garrett was a little unsure about the melted chocolate and sticky marshmallows on his hands.  He quickly discovered that he could just pick it off and eat it!
Thanks Dad for my burnt ones! Those are the best!
Walking in the snow for the first time in his life.... {I think}
Let me point out that we are about 60 miles east of Dallas, so we didn't get the thick, fluffy snow until later in the day.  Tomorrow morning I plan to take them back out and play in the fluffy, good stuff!
Snow on the ground road doesn't stop him from driving!
At this point in the day, the snow was too wet which made it hard to build a snowman.  I really had no clue what I was doing.....you can tell I have lived in Texas my whole life.  
Garrett was ready to destroy....
Shaking hands....
Breaking an arm.....
Throwing snowballs at BamBam....
Time for hot chocolate...and more marshmallows.....
I used my edible markers to make Frosty the marshmallow...
To end the night - we were all standing at the back sliding glass door and I saw something in the backyard.  It took me a second to process what it was, it looked like a huge cat, but then I realized it was a red fox!!!  I yelled to everyone "RED FOX!!!  RED FOX!!!"  The fox heard me yell, looked up at the house, and quickly ran off!  It was so neat to see!
