We had a record-breaking snowfall this week. When all was said and done, the official measurement at DFW Airport was 11.2 inches of snow in a 24-hour period. They canceled all area schools Friday, so Mara's daycare was closed as well. Luckily John went in late Friday, and we were able to have some family time out in the snow.
I was supposed to have my 34-week appointment, which was going to include another sonogram, but my doctor's office was closed because of the weather. My appointment might be rescheduled. Since I already have an appointment for next Friday, I might just have to wait until then for my next sonogram. I'll find out when I call them Monday.
Mara loved going out to play in it, making her very first snowmen, and having snowball fights. If we're friends on Facebook, you've already seen these pictures there, but I wanted to post them here as well.

Mara wasn't too sure of the snow at first since her last experience left her flat on her back when she went running out and slid on the ice Christmas morning. There was no ice yet this time around, so she quickly started playing in the snow.
Mara making a snow angel. She said one of her friends taught her how to make one earlier in the day at school.

This was only a half hour after we went out to play in the snow, and our tracks were already covered. As of 6 pm, we've received over 7 inches of snow in the DFW area, which is half an inch from setting a record for snowfall in a day.
You can barely tell that we got down to the grass when making the snowman. And this was only a half hour after we made it. The snow is still coming down.
Our crepe myrtle tree right before we went to bed, and you can see it's still snowing.

Mara had to make another snow angel since you can't even tell where she made the ones Thursday.
Our crepe myrtle was covered with snow, and Mara had fun shaking the branches to make it snow more.
Mara enjoyed a "snack" of snow while we were outside.
Here's our cute little snow bunny. :)
We had to dig out our snowman from yesterday, and John helped Mara make a bigger snowman today. Mara had to taste the snowman before it could be used.
Snowball fight!
A little snowman for Mara that she promptly threw at John.
Helping Daddy clear off the hedges. They were weighted down and almost touching the group because of how much snow we got, but they quickly bounced back.
Since we don't have a snow shovel, Mara decided to try to sweep the driveway to help clear it so John could go to work.
