Keira's 1st Snowman!

Over the past couple of winters it seems that Keira's always sick everytime we get a decent amount of snow. So getting her out to play in it has been a problem. So now that she's 3 1/2 and really understanding things more and more she's been asking when its going to snow so that we can make a snowman. Well today was the day. Last night we went out to dinner with Harvey & Lori and the kids around the corner at Red Robin. About that time we started to get some real snow coming down, Keira was elated. She couldn't wait to walk from the Jeep to the restaurant so that she could catch snowflakes on her tongue. By the time we left the restaurant around 8pm we already had a good amount so it looked promising for some overnight accumulation. This morning we showed Keira the backyard and she flipped out! If she had the strength to do so she would've opened the sliding door and headed into the snow in her pajamas. Luckily we convinced her to put on all her snow gear and we would go out before breakfast. So we all got bundled up and headed out into the front yard. The snow was very wet and heavy (after living here now for almost 7 years you begin to learn the different types of snow), so it made for great packing and snowballs that could put you in the hospital. Even though it was only a couple inches deep Keira jumped right in, before you know she was throwing snowballs at the camera man (me) and we were able to build her first snowman. Although we didnt have a carrot for his nose I thinked he turned out ok.

Super cute!
I can't show my kids the pic or they would be very jealous. (They are totally mad that we live in a city that doesn't get snow.)

There's different types of snow? Who'da thought.
