A snowman taller than my husband?

After church today, Ella said that she wanted to go outside and play in the snow. I knew it was slightly warmer than last week so I said sure. Then when Laney woke up from her nap she asked to go outside too. So I got her bundled up in her hat, coat, scarf, and mittens and we joined Jason and Ella outside. But we quickly realized that we didn't need the whole winter garb today! It was a beautiful day to build a snowman and in my eyes the perfect snowman building weather--it was 40-45 degrees :)

This was Laney's first time in the snow and although she liked the feel of it, I had to place it in her hands. For some reason, she wouldn't pick the snow up from the ground.

Ella loved climbing the mounds of snow we had surrounding our driveway; the piles of snow were a good 4 feet tall.

Ella, are you helping Dad build the snowman or are you throwing a snow ball at Mom?

Laney was so excited to see that Carly and her dad, Troy, were coming over.

Wow these noses are tough to put on.

Look at me holding snow!

Now that is one big snowman :)
Jason had a great time building the snow man, and the girls enjoyed
accessorizing with the scarf, the nose, the eyes, the arms.
Jason happily put a University of Cincinnati hat on the snowman.
