On Sunday, after we got the huge snow storm, we decided to go sledding again. We went outside at about 1:00pm and stayed out until 4:30. The sun was out, the wind wasn't blowing, it felt great. The kids had a ball playing in the snow in the backyard. Dawn and I decided to build a snowman! I have always heard that you start with a snow ball and roll it to make it bigger. Well, if you are from the Texas panhandle, snow just doesn't work that way there. I remember trying to build a snowman a few times and pretty much had to pack it all into a big ball. The rolling thing never worked for me. Even last year, we tried and the snow was too powdery. Well, I tried it again this year and it worked. The snow was perfect for rolling a giant ball. It was so exciting to see that it came together so quickly. We ended up building 2 snowmen. We did make them each have 2 faces- one to face Dawn's house and one to face our house. We had a great day and I wanted to share some extra photos.

Looks like lots of fun!! Too funny about making a face on each side of the snowman--great idea!!
Yes--when the snow is right for rolling snow balls, it is awesome and easy!! Logan had a huge one rolled in our last snow (of 2 inches)in a matter of minutes. It was rather dirty considering he just about gathered up all the snow in the whole yard into that ball--then the leaves and dirt started sticking to it, too!!
