Keeping Warm

After a warm and spring-like January, the winter weather seems to have caught up with us in February. It's still been mild for winter so I can't complain but I'm ready for shorts weather already! We've been spending a lot of time around the fireplace this week.

I thought this was adorable - Ben wanted to take advantage of the photo op as well.

We made hot chocolate and played a few rounds of go fish this cold, cloudy afternoon. Ben and Matt went outside for about five minutes but came right back in when a few pieces of sleet came down.

Despite the chill in the air, there was no stopping a topless dinner (Mama politely excluded from the toplessness, of course). Alex was trying to show me how full his tummy was to make his case to leave the table.

Here's Mr. Rib's best try at making his gut stick out. Impressive try, but still not an ounce of fat there!

But, as is usually the case in Houston, the high is forecast to be 75 again in just a few days so we won't be cold for long!
