Frosty the Snowman

We didn't have any exciting plans for the evening, and we have spent the weekends in December visiting different Christmas sights around the valley.  There is one thing we haven't done yet...build a snowman. Lucky for us, we were blessed with a huge snowstorm today that provided the kids with hours of fun. After dinner we had some hours to kill so we decided to build our snowman in the dark.  He almost didn't make it, but Mom and Dad heaved that huge snowball over our heads and he was born.  After the snowman was done, we had our first family Snow Ball fight. I usually stay out of these activities, but I was already wet and cold, so I joined in the fun. The kids were so excited, they even made sure to thank me for playing with them before they went to sleep. Nora was hilarious, she would fake scream when we'd throw snow at her.  Makay fell asleep looking out the window to make sure he didn't miss it when the snowman came to life.  It's days like these that make me happy to be a mom. Especially after days like yesterday where I wasn't as excited to be a mom.  (the day when Nora decided to donate a portion of our Christmas budget to the sewer rats that live on the other side of the toilet. I am in denial waiting for it to turn up in the house somewhere)
