It Snowed!!


This might not be very exciting for those of you who get snow in the winter but in Houston it is very rare! Yesterday it snowed and we were so excited! The weather this week has been very extreme! Monday and Tuesday it was really warm, in the 70's and then came the cold front late Tuesday afternoon and evening it was in the 40's. When we woke up Wednesday morning to take Avery to school it was in the 30's and it was expected to rain or sleet. The wind was blowing and it was bitter cold- down to the bone! With the humidity here it gets really cold! Well it was almost time to get Avery from the bus when it started snowing outside. We got a call from our neighbour to look outside, "It's snowing!" I didn't believe it! Last time it snowed it was 2004 on Christmas Eve. We had Jake get out of his Batman costume and get his warm clothes back on with gloves and his hat and head out with Emily in her warm gear. They were so excited to see the snow falling; it didn't stick to the ground but they loved it all the same!





Wednesday night the Young Women and Young Men went to the temple and this was our welcome when we came out. I also got a picture of Spencer's car in the driveway. On Saturday the temperature will be back up the the 70's again.

Family Pictures


Ok family pictures are always an adventure with the Allreds. It's hard to get three kids to sit and take a picture. We have two active ones that would much rather run and play wherever they are than sit and be still. So the solution is to have someone take a TON of pictures and we'll eventually find one that looks decent. It was fun and Heidi took 70 pictures in all.
