Since I haven't posted in a while...

We've had a snow day already this year and this is what we did...Al had hurt his shoulder at work, so I was designated snowball lifter! Wowie!! These were the biggest snowmen we've ever made and it took everything I had to lift them up!! We took Em's picture this way because she wanted to be sure and point out that she made a "baby" snowman and attached it to her "Moma" snowman near the middle here.


Carter's snowman is even taller than he is! Whew!! (Too bad, that it was so warm that day and after we made them, they started to melt. Then it got really cold, so now we have some kinda sad looking snowmen in our yard. Oh well. It was fun times spent with my kids in the snow!) When we brought our tree in the house, Al needed to cut off a few branches from the bottom to fit it in our house and stand. This is where the kids put "baby" tree. I just thought it was too cute!

Yesterday, we got about 12 inches of snow!!! Needless to say, Christmas vacation started a day early and we didn't go anywhere all day. When Al got home from plowing snow for 12 hours in nearby town, he brought the skid loader into town and piled a mountain of snow in our yard almost as tall as our house!!! The kids will be the envy of everyone near and far, I'm sure!

We got all of the snow too. :) Isn't it the best to see the excitement the kids get over it? Wow. My Jay would be so excited over that mountain of snow. :)
