Houston's White Christmas

Sorry it took me so long to post these. Yes, we actually had a White Christmas in Houston! I had heard talk of it all week on the weather and didn't take it seriously. It started to come down in our area around 5:30 on Christmas Eve. I was walking in to Wal-Mart and saw the first few flakes come down. There were some people who appeared to be pretty ecstatic about it - like the Wal-Mart manager. He was on the loudspeaker every five minutes with an announcement affirming the freakish weather outside. "That's right, Houston, TX, it's snowing outside!" - followed by blah, blah, blah, and "Thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart. Remember that we will be closing in 30 minutes."

Here are some pictures that my friend Kelly took from his parents' house in Misourri City.



Even Mrs. Claus looks surprised.


Kelly, not concerned with safety, climbed onto the roof.


The bushes were full until they shed half their leaves in shock.
