Our Seven Foot Snowman and Other Fun Snow Things
^^May I introduce our 7 (maybe closer to 8) foot snowman with teeny T-Rex arms. A family work of art! We couldn't have done it without Bron home.^^
^^Putting on the carrot nose. Classic.^^
^^The backyard winter wonderland!^^
^^Bron helped the boys make a snow fort out of the old play-set that blew over in the wind earlier this winter. It was hit!^^
^^Defending the fort from Mom and Dad with snowballs!^^
^^Jed was out to get me with that snowball! I love that mischievous little face.^^
^^Incoming snowball! Haha.^^
^^Big fat snowflakes and a tiny sledding hill in the neighbor's yard. A winter moment to remember!^^
On Monday night we went to bed listening to the wind howl and on Tuesday morning we awoke to a winter wonderland! It was a beautiful surprise. And an exciting way to kick off Christmas break. We were all geared up and ready to take on the new snow soon after breakfast. Even Bron took a breather from his computer work to come play. We spent approximately two hours in the backyard delighting in the magical white stuff--which just happened to be the best packing snow I've probably ever seen! Thus, our giant 7 foot snowman with teeny T-Rex arms was born. Haha. He was awesome, though he unfortunately keeled over and died very young. We also built a "snow fort" and had a snowball fight before sledding down the neighbor's toddler-sized hill. The snow continued to fall all morning in big fat flakes. It was pretty dreamy. I admit, just the thought of it all puts a smile on my face. What happened Tuesday morning is the best part of winter: unexpected magic and fun. I hope we get to do it again.
I love it! We've had a few days like that here, as well, with all of our snow. Although we haven't even come close to a 7 foot snowman!
