Oh Man, Snowman!

It finally snowed enough {with the right kinda snow} for us to make a very successful snowman! It was Eric's first time and was a huge help to me, in between his occasional spastic flops in the snow!

And because I know building a snowman is a large feat, I'm not usually so motivated to start the creation of one, but this year I had "won" a snowman kit at a white elephant gift exchange. It had everything we needed in it: buttons for his "shirt", smaller black dots for his eyes and smile, carrot nose, pipe, scarf, and hat!


What also came in very handy was the large decorative rock we have in our front yard. Saved us the trouble of creating the "plus-sized" bottom our snowman is sitting on. We just packed snow all around it and no one knows the difference!

He is such a great snowman! We had to go out of town before I was able to take a picture of our snow girl. When we came back she was a snow pile with feminine accessories. They would have made a great pair though :)
