The week before Christmas the kids and I decided to make a snowman.
I think it took longer to get them all bundled up than it did to make the actual snowman! I felt like the mom on "A Christmas Story" and I'm sure if Sammy could talk he would have said "I can't move my arms." Because he couldn't. Really! He didn't like it all in fact because he couldn't roll over and crawl. Lucy liked playing in the snow but was super cold.
We waited a bit too long to make our snowman - the snow had kind of dried out a bit and was crusty - not good snowman packing snow so I took a shovel and made a pile of it and we shaped it from there.
Then we used a carrot for a nose and added a scarf and hat. The eyes and mouth were inspired by a cute book we borrowed from the library - Snowballs. The book has pictures of snowmen made with totally random found things. We found our eyes and mouth in the tool chest we got from my grandpa - I think it adds a fun touch!
Now whenever we mention snowmen, Lucy says ours broke and melted! We'll have to build a new one sometime when I find the energy to bundle them both up again!

I like the snowman's mouth! They are both getting so big! I love seeing them at church! Lucy's hair is so long, and Sammy is just so darn cute and chubby!
That's a cute squished snowman!
Cutest snowman ever! (Kids are pretty cute too.)
Oooooh I got to see this snowman in person and he was Quite the handsome little guy :) SUCH a cute post!
I do like the look of the metal objects for the eyes and mouth! That's cute how Sammy and the snowman are about the same size. :)
