Snow Success!

And then... the sun came out and created the perfect snow! I would like to introduce you to Russell Fredrickson:















Name inpiration from the movie UP!



He's a good lookin' snowdude, don't ya think?


We hadn't literally seen the sun for days, so on this afternoon, it seemed like a heatwave and we had such a nice time just being outside!



Ross is standing here taking all the credit, when it was I who had to dead lift the second ball onto the first one to make this guy! And man oh man, snowman making snow is heavy!! He did find the cool stick arms with hands, though.

We had to give ole Russell some hugs:






And Max had to eat his weight in snow! We couldn't stop him. He kept telling us it was great "watery-ice" and would eat it off of his gloves...





And then I took this picture of the kids to try and capture how much snow had been shovelled and accumulated by our mailbox (it doesn't show it that well):




But, when I saw the picture on the camera I was suddenly reminded of these old pics:



Ummm... something tells me we're not in Kansas anymore, Russell.
