snowmans!

Ledger's one demand each winter is that he gets to make a snowman.  Every time it snows he asks 'can we make one today?'  The opportunity doesn't come around very often, usually the snow is bad for packing or there isn't enough of it.  Well, today the snow was perfect, so off we went into the front lawn to make a new friend!  He had gotten a cool snowman kit from grandma last Christmas, so he was eager to use it.  We tracked it down in the basement and got to work.  The snow was absolutely perfect for packing, so it turned out really great.  We went to the backyard and found just the right branches so he could have arms.  On went the different pieces of the kit, and voila! A snowman!  Our boy was delighted, as you can tell.  We stayed out there and played with him for a while and eventually came in to warm up.  As he was at the table enjoying a hot chocolate, he kept peeking out the window to admire his handiwork.
