Snow Fun

Nanette, Gary and Sydney flew in from Texas for Kaleb's wedding.  Syd could hardly wait to get out in the snow.  Gary was great and took all the kids out.

Joe had new snow clothes and just liked wandering around.
 

"Hi Mom."


Syd was quick to start on her snowman masterpiece.


Rachel took on a more supervisory role, watching from above.


I have a really cool snowman kit.  Would I be able to find it on this day.  Not a chance.  So Syd used a couple of twigs she found in the yard.  I gave her some rocks as coal stand ins.


A carrot stick, some winter wear and some rosy cheeks round out this beautiful snowman.


We put some food coloring and water in a spray bottle to get those cute cheeks.



"Uncle Gary is the best."

Rachel's First Snowman

Rachel received a snowman kit as one of her Christmas presents.  Every time it snowed she would beg to build a snowman.  There just wasn't enough snow.  But on March 2nd Rachel's dream came true.  Her daddy helped her build her very first snowman.


"Once there was a snowman, snowman, snowman..."


Boy was Rachel sad when "in the sun it melted."  I hope she takes comfort in knowing that there will be many snowmen to come.
