Frosty

Every year, Steve and kids try to build a snowman in the front yard ... and then affectionately name it, "Frosty."  Last week, we had the perfect snow for snowman-building  activities -- wet and heavy.  Before naps, the kids headed outside and set to work ...

Rolling the perfect base for the snowman:

Always my smiling little girl, even in the frigid winter weather:

Even Jack joined in on the fun:

My two "men:"

Steve and his girls:

Putting the finishing touches on Frosty's body:

Using some long sticks from the woods as the arms:

Posing with their masterpiece:

(Never mind Sophia and her crying face -- while she is usually my content child full of smiles for anyone and everyone, she can also change expressions quickly ... when she is tired and ready to head inside).

Frosty was a wonderful addition to our front yard for the two hours that he lasted!  Thus, is a Michigan Winter ...
