Pretty much since we moved home, Henlie has wanted to build a snowman. Every time it would snow, she would ask if there was enough snow to build a snowman. Finally, we got a storm that left enough snow to actually play in, so we had a snow day on December 15th :)
First we have to bundle everybody up and test Henlie's old toboggan to see if Andrew can handle it since he doesn't actually sit on his own yet :)
We started with some light Andrew sledding, then we tried to make a snowman, but the snow was too powdery. We managed a tiny ... mound? haha It was good enough for Henlie, though. Then we wandered around our buidling and the next playing make-believe things. We went to Bear Island and visited the bears. We also had to stay away from the germs (read: bushes; Yeah, I don't know either. Kids. :))

This little story amuses me. I let Henlie pull Andrew for a minute. (She did really well!)
Andrew's all content, but then she turns and drops the rope to cheese for the camera, and he starts wailing.
I would have taught Henlie about snow angels, but she didn't have any snow pants. Fortunately, she had a lot of fun wandering around playing pretend in the snow. Henlie also tried to make snowballs. Fortunately, being so powdery, the snow just fluffed in my general direction when she tried to throw it ;)

Finally wearing his little booties we got him in Peru!

After some "skating" and icicle observing, I managed to get Henlie back upstairs where we warmed up with some hot cocoa. I don't really love the snow, and bundling everyone up is kind of a pain, but I love it when my kids are so happy. (Okay, kid. Andrew didn't love it or hate it, but he did get over being in the sled, so I had to pull him out and pull the sled behind me still :)) Next, Momma needs some snow pants!
