Moving from Wisconsin definitely changed things. Winters are more mild in Texas, but I will say when it does get cold, it's a DAMP cold, and it's just as bone-chilling as freezing temps, in my opinion. But the lack of snow is a definite bonus!

I have exactly two weeks and all my kids are descending--I have so many fun and festive things planned. Christmas time is the BEST!
