Don't Eat the Yellow Stuff

We had our first snow of the season last night. And it was actually real snow, not just flurries, that stuck around until morning. There wasn't a ton of it, but it was perfect for building a snowman.

As we're playing around outside, Ben and I taking video, Travis says, "Oh... you're taking pictures. That means we can make a blog about this."

So, Travis, here it is.

Rolling snowballs

Hmmmm, I wonder what Sophie's doing over there....

Eating snow, of course.

We could not get her to keep her mittens on. They were much too cumbersome. How did we expect her to pick up good handfuls of snow for eating with those darn mittens?

Putting on the head

The finished product

We gave him a hat. Travis named him Snowy.

Noah loved throwing snowballs at the dog. And at his dad. And at me. And at the snowman. Let's just say Noah's throwing arm got a good workout.

Here's Noah, after being forced to come back inside.

And here's Travis. He was so thrilled about Snowy that you couldn't pry this smile off his face with a crowbar.
