A couple of weeks ago we had a really good snow so Daniel and Aliya went out to play in it. I was watching out the window, where it was nice and warm. They were having a great time and Daniel decided to build a snowman....unfortunately, it was really wet, heavy snow and he overestimated a little and started WAY too big. So by the time he made the middle section, he couldn't lift it onto the bottom (See picture below). I was laughing hysterically watching him try to, but finally I took pity and decided to go out and help him. Did I mention the snow was REALLY heavy. We couldn't lift it together either! I'm sure it would have been funny if anyone had been watching us try, but Aliya wasn't even paying attention so we were safe from mocking. Eventually we gave up and started over with the piece we couldn't lift as the new bottom. We ended up making the original Giant snowball into a slide for Aliya which turned out awesome! unfortunately I never managed to take a picture of it, it's still sorta there in the backyard even though everything else has melted over a week ago. It was a great time despite my not wanting to go out. Aliya was having so much fun she didn't want to come in even though she was cold, tired and hungry. I had to lure her in with talk of marshmallows.
All bundled up!
Once there was a snowman...
This was the original begining of the snowman, yeah, turns out we are not He-Man and Sheera..sad day

So cute! I love it. Surprisingly, we really miss the snow. I never thought we would. I wanted to let you know that we are coming to ID and UT the first part of March. Are you guys around? We would love to run into you. Let me know!
HAhaha! I laughed just picturing you guys out there trying to lift this huge snowball. I miss you guys! Aliya is just getting too big. :)
