Once There Was a Snowman

I love, love, love this picture. I think it's one that I will cherish forever. A few days after Christmas there was great snowman-building snow so we headed outside to play. In the past Blake has not been a fan of the cold or touching the snow but luckily it wasn't that cold and he ended up having the best time. This was their first snowman ever! I wanted to build it bigger but I discovered that being 7 months pregnant hinders the snowman making process.

Blake is making a snowball and he got pretty good at it.

Jayla thought it was so cool that by rolling it in the snow you can make a little snowball into a great big one.

Oh, what a cutie he is!

I was impressed by Jayla's strength.

It was such a treat to watch the kids play in the snow and make discoveries of what they could do with it, how it tasted, and just how darn fun it is. I remember as a kid me and my siblings would spend hours playing in the snow. It didn't matter that it was cold because when you get the perfect snow your world turns into a magical place. I've always loved the winter but after I had babies I didn't like it that much. It just seemed to be such a hassle but I think I'm back on the snow-lovers side because I'm experiencing that love and fascination of snow again through my kids.
