Lucky Streak Ended?

So Kendall is not growing up in typical Deep South America, though she thinks she is.  After all, normal is defined by personal experiences.  Let's name all the not-so-typical experiences this Southern Belle has had in her 2.4 year existence:

- our beloved Saints win the Super Bowl!!
- it has snowed every winter since her birth-at least once

Except this year.  The Saints didn't win  no make it to the big game this year.  (We did both wear our Saints Super Bowl Champion shirts to this year's Super Bowl (yawn) party. We cheer for the Saints no matter what.  Yep, even if they're not even planing.

But the real streak of luck she's had is the snowfall in 2009 (and another) and 2010.  And this year we got reeeeeeal close again.  But just aint gonna happen, folks.
Notice she's wearing her lucky shirt :-)  Didn't happen.  Barely a dusting.

Cranning her neck for a glimpse of a snowflake.

So what's a southern girl to do??  Make her own snow!

Kendall and Daddy had their own snow party in the middle of the den.

Ok.  Fast forward about two weeks.  THIS time our local, loved meteorologist has a more promising forecast for wintry precipitation (of a snowlike substance, Nana).

Decked out in her lucky t-shirt (again) and press on princess earrings, she belted a real sweet rendition of "If all the snowflakes were chocolate covered cupcakes."

Nope.  No snow again.  Oh well.  There's always next year.

And for the Saints?  There's always LAST year.  And next year, too, of course.  After all, it did freeze over you-know-where according to the Saint's broadcasters.  So it's bound to happen again sometime here in the Southeast, right?
