oh snowy days...

you can't beat an afternoon with a sweet little girl, making snowmen and snow angels. and afterwards.....hot chocolate, of course! if you can believe it this is the first snowman we have made (it's probably the first one i have made in twenty years.....i can't believe i can actually say "twenty years," and leaving a few to spare, it feels weird.) i wasn't prepared when we went outside, so we don't have a hat, "muffins" (mittens), or coal for eyes. we improvised with what we had outside (except for the carrot. alan gave us that one). the bark for eyes...they look more like eyelashes. pretty creative i thought!


poor alaina stuck inside. i didn't have anything to keep her dry...because she would've had to sit in the snow. she looked so sad in the window. i really did feel bad for her. this may sound crazy, but i actually thought about wrapping her with a trash

bags, but thought better....plastic bags...babies, hmmm not a good combination. she'll have next year, unless anyone has an extra snow suit lying around? i can't wait to do this with the both of them, and i can watch them make the snowman...instead of making it myself:)

what i want to know is, why is there a reflection of a gorilla in the window with alaina?

What size snowsuit do you need for alaina? Who is the gorilla? A new sitter? ha ha.. Looks like a very fun day.

seriously, it took me probably 2 minutes of looking before i realized that that was you (in all black holding a camera to your face). you know when you think you see one thing, it's hard to see anything else? okay...enough jabbering for me. you don't REALLY look like a gorilla...

Well, I guess it is unanimous! I thought it was a gorilla. Go figure. I love the snowman. You girls did such a good job. Wish I could have been there to help. Next year Alaina will be able to help. What fun! Love, Ohie
