Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

That has been Michelle's mantra since the first snow flake fell. You'd think she was one of the kids the way she's been so giddy about the blanket of white that has overtaken us. I love how we've been able to enjoy the snow together as a family. And it's a good thing too because we've gotten a lot of snow.

The morning snow storm brought perfect snowman snow so we took advantage of this blessed gift and created a 6 foot snowman (actually it's probably taller than that since I can barely reach to the top of the head to put on the hat!). David was excited about rolling the snowballs in the snow but I think he was confused about the process of making a snowman and just making huge snow balls.

The boys thought it was great fun to attack me with snowballs and chased me all over the yard. While I think I had more snowball hits it is probably safe to say that the boys won the battle.

One of the nice conveniences of our home is the access to the park. It's like having an unlimited amount of snow for our personal use! So we packed in some park snow so we could make a snow cave for our boys. We've made a lot of progress but at some point we decided that we do actually have to get work done today since it isn't actually the vacation day and we are quickly running out of time to finish Christmas preparations.

This was before the snow started falling this morning.

It is already starting to pile up on the clubhouse.
We decided to make a big snowman.
Then it started snowing again!
We thought it would be easier to roll the snow over to make a snow cave rather then try to pile it on with shovels.
And here the boys have completed Gus the Snowman. David wanted to name him Frosty the Snowman but he just never came to life, even with the hat!
