Once There Was a Snowman

12.21.2010

We got a HUGE snowstorm! So big that some school districts even got a snow day. In all my years at school in Utah I never had a snow day. Which was fine, they take snow days out of Spring Break, so it was fine. But all day after this massive storm Hallie kept asking if she could go outside. Well, I am not such a huge fan of the snow. It is pretty to look at, from the inside of a warm place, and it is always nice to have a white Christmas, but that is my extent of liking the snow. So I kept telling her, "when Daddy gets home maybe he could take you outside and build a snowman," which satisfied her, but she kept reminding me of that. Well by the time Eric got home, and we got a few things done and helped my aunt shovel her driveway it was getting pretty dark, but Hallie was still convinced that she needed to build a snowman. So we got her all bundled up and went outside.

Hallie showing her teeth, she wouldn't smile. :)
Here they are out in the freezing cold, in the dark!
I had no intentions of being out there much longer than to take a few pictures, but I was told I needed to help.
Hallie's hat is a bit too big and it kept sliding over her eyes. But here is the final product! A snowman just Hallie's size.
We all had a fun time, even though I wasn't sure that I would ever get warm again. :)

She is so cute bundled up in that fur-hooded coat! I love winter clothes on the little ones!
