The Snowman

Back on the 13th, I posted about the first snow. Well, the kids (mostly Tristan) went out on that Sunday morning and built the first snowman of the year. Ty took these pictures while I was sleeping. (Hey, it was Sunday, I had to sleep in.) I didn't even know the pictures had been taken until we carved pumpkins, so that's why it took so long to get them posted here.

Mayzee helped a little.

The kids named him Goofy.


Tristan found another use for all those plums! That's what made up the snowman's face. It warmed right up the next day, so Goofy only lived for one day. Oh well, I'm sure he'll be back soon.

The First Snow

On Saturday, we had our first snow. It was so beautiful. The boys had so much fun out playing in the new snow. I'm not sure how "War" fits in with the snow, but that's what they were inspired to play.

Looking at Mayzee, you can see how big the fluffy flakes were. That night, as I was waiting outside for Mayzee to do her business, I was reminded of how much I love snow. It was so peaceful and silent. I turned my face up to the sky and let the snow gently fall on my face. I'm sure that in February, I will need to be reminded that I missed snow for the past few years in Vegas, but for now, I LOVE the snow!
