Let's Build a Snowman!

Wahoo! It finally snowed! I've been wanting to go play with the girls in the snow (since we went and bought full snow gear from head to toe) and have been very disappointed each time the weathermen get my hopes up. So it's not like we got a big dump, but here in Oregon we make do with what we got. And Jenelle was quite insistent that we make "a big snowman!" So here we go, here is Meri's first snowman:









I love this, it looks like she's making a new friend, who by the way is not even as tall as her when she's sitting down:









And while this was her first snowman, her first snow was actually on Christmas day (although it sadly didn't stick), which I never got around to posting:








And of course, we had to play on the swing set. In the snow. "Undergoggy!"













And eventually we had had too much fun. "I so freezing!"













And yet, 20 minutes later, she wanted to go play in the snow again. We're sad daddy was at work, but hopefully these pictures will make his day.

Also, I wanted to thank all my fantastic friends for your supportive and encouraging comments about my artwork. I tend to get discouraged and stressed out about it as I paint because I really don't feel like I know what I'm doing or are prepared to put on a show but your comments help me feel a little bit more like I can do it. Thanks.
