Frosty the Snowman

So it finally snowed here this weekend. Don't groan as we say finally, but the boys have been waiting to play in the snow. We all had a blast.


The first thing we tried to do (after shoveling the driveway, it's great to be a home owner) was to build a snowman. But the snow was just too fluffy, so the healthy boys sat down and ate the carrots-noses.


Fortunately, the snow was perfect for sledding. And while we might not like our front hill come grass-cutting time, it certainly made for a fun sled ride. Here's Luke and Mommy getting ready to barrel down the hill.


And Luke and Daddy (Owen was there too, but he went inside for some cocoa just as the camera came out).


The next day was perfect for building frosty. Here are the boys working on him with their friend, Katie, and her mom.


Here they proudly pose in front of the finished product, minutes before stealing his nose to eat it!

Wow how cool lots and lots of snow. I am glad that the boys sure enjoyed their fun in the snow because I am not a fan. Snow is to cool for me. Love Di Di :)

Great pictures of the first snow in Oxford. Glad to have someone get fun out of what we don't really appreciate...Loved the snowman and the boys sledding down your big hill. Always fun when little ones like to play out in it. Love, Gram and Gramp
