Snow Day | Cypress Family Photography

Thursday, February 25, 2010

I was so mad about the weather that day. We’d just enjoyed a beautiful, balmy, 70F sunny day. But as we all know, Houston’s weather is never predictable. I had to go to the grocery store and had to troop out into the sleet with my 3 year old. It was cold. The roads were crazy. I was not happy. And then, the snow came.

The last time it snowed, the kids were stuck in school and I vowed that I would take them out of school if it snowed again. Don’t hate. I grew up in Northern Arizona where it snowed every winter and we’d walk the streets during the bright & quiet nights having snow ball fights. I remember one year in particular. My mom had planned to take a few friends and I out of town for my birthday. But then it snowed 6 inches during the night. In a small town, there was only one place to be and it was the local elementary school. There were huge hills that we could take our makeshift sleds (either a trash bag or a garbage can lid) and sled to our hear’s desire. So, yes. I was going to take my kids out of school to make a memory for them.

But I didn’t have to:)The snow started around 4:30 and lasted only a short while. And, as mad as I was about the cold weather, I took them outside and we made memories:)

Debbie Cox - Hi Christie,
I am so thankful for the response that you recieved for the Photo Party for Layla. this is such a neat way, that we, who don’t even know Layla, can help other than to pray. When I sent a note to you yesterday moring, there were only 5 comments and by the time I went to bed last night, there were 40. What a great response.
I am still interested in hosting a party here in the Woodlands, if it works out, but also totally understand that you can only take so many.
thank you again for helping this beautiful family in not only the parties, but the beautiful photos that you took of Layla on a moment’s notice. They will be eternally grateful. Love, Debbie Cox
