Bring on the WHITE stuff!

On our way to church this morning, Daddy said the storm must have fizzled out; the snow wasn't coming. We were all a bit disappointed. So, when the first flakes began to fall this evening, you can imagine our excitement. We ate dinner with the lights out and blinds open so we could see the winter wonderland developing in our backyard.
After we were done eating, we saw our neighbors in their front yard with flashlights - building a snowman. Isaac got the great idea of a sneak snowball attack on the happy little family. We all agreed it was a fantastic idea. Unfortunately, we lost the element of surprise as it took us a good 20 minutes to round up all the boots, gloves, hats, coats, and snow pants from last year. By the time we got outside, they were already gone.

We made the best of it anyhow - jumping on a snowy trampoline, catching snowflakes on our tongues, making fresh tracks and building our First Frosty of the season! You won't be so lucky next time, Allreds!

So, this family photo would have turned out great were it not for the slant of the car hood the camera was propped up on and the giant snowflake right in daddy's face. Oh well, you get the idea...
Goodnight Frosty!

The hat on your snowman looks surprisingly like a swamp cooler cover I once knitted. :)
