My First Snowman (and second snowman)

I made my very first snowman ever today (I grew up in southern California.)  Yes, my first one even though I have lived in Utah for over 4 years now.

When I looked out my front door this morning I found this:




So very pretty.

I went in to my wife's class today to help with their Christmas party and help her clean up and organize and such for the new year.  And during recess I took advantage of all the snow to make my first snowman.




I had a few dozen 5th-graders help me make a wobbly snowman that was about 8 feet tall.  Rocking.

But then I wondered what I could really make with this new found medium of snow with a little more time and planning.  So, with the help of my good friend Jason, a different sort of snowman came to life.  We didn't finish until after dark.



Look familiar?



I hope it snows this much again this winter.  I've got more ideas that require attention.

You are so lucky, I live in Canada and we don't have any snow right now :(

I rike it...I rike it a rot! I'm jealous - I've never done anything with snow that cool. Did you get any daytime picts?

I didn't get any day time pics. Bummer. It started to melt pretty quick.
