We had our third measurable snow event on Tuesday ... the second was Christmas Eve ... I had a white Christmas for the first time in my life.
The kids were determined to build snowmen...
They were successful ... 6 was the total count of mini snowmen ... After they had completed them all, I was asked to assist with carrot noses, eyes, smiles, and hats. Carrot noses ... check ... that's easy ... we even had baby carrots for their little faces ... but the others ? (sigh) I have the "creativity" gene lacking in me. I dismissed the hats and smiles as not necessary (it was a cold and wet snow ... the kids were soaking wet and freezing) and looked for eyes. "Buttons" the kids yelled ... "Get buttons" ... just who do they think I am? Martha Stewart? I don't have loose buttons laying around to use for snowmen eyes ...
This is where being over 40 comes in handy ...
Those are prunes for eyes ...
Happy New Year to everyone ....

Those are the cutest mini snowmen I have ever seen! And how exciting for you to finally have a white Christmas (did you like it, or did you just wish the snow would go away?).
