Let it Snow!

It's been snowing a lot over the past few days, especially for our town-we normally don't get much snow. But on Wednesday it snowed so much that the kids got out of school. So before it all melted away Erik and I went out to enjoy it. This is what we saw when we walked out the door.

That's our car buried in the snow, and I don't know if you can see, but the snow was still coming down.

Erik got right into the snow! He started digging and quickly caught on to throwing snowballs.

Here is his first snowball attempt. Later he would come at us and say he was going to attack us with the snow-then our knees would get a snow ball. I love this kid, it was so fun to play in the snow with him :)

I know this pictures is kinda blurry but I wanted to show how deep the snow was on little Erik.

He loved stomping though the snow. He was even able to get himself back up when he fell down.

Erik and I worked on building a snowman together and hunted around for things to decorate the face with. Erik really wanted a banana smile, but I told him this snowman was too small for a banana smile, so we used berries from our 'back yard' bush.

Then we added a hat.

Isn't he so cute?!



Then Daddy got home early and we went out for a second round of fun. By this time the snow was much easier to pack so we built a BIG snowman.

This time Erik got his Banana smile.




Mommy and Erik saying "Banana!" for the camera. :)

Then Erik wanted to sit on top of this post so Paul hoisted him on up there. I think he enjoyed the view from way up there :)

I'm really glad we took pictures of our snowmen because they really didn't last through the end of the day. The small one fell over backwards and the big one lost his banana mouth. Then the next day we saw the big snow man leaning forwards as if he was looking for his lost banana smile. We love the snow, keep it coming, or at least let us have a white Christmas too.
