Once there was a snowman...

Last weekend we had our first snow fall of the year.  It was so fun to look out the window and see the ground covered in white.  We got all bundled up and went outside to play!  Madi was the first ready and was SOOO excited to get out there.
We even got our little Easton boy in on the action.  He loves to be outside, so he was thrilled and didn't mind the cold at all. 
We have the perfect little hill next to our house.  We pulled the sled over and let the kids go down.  One time was enough for Madi.  She had no desire to go again.  She wanted to walk in the snow and watch.  She informed me that she is "too small". 
Derrick had a rough start.  I love his smile!  Isn't he so handsome?
He is such a great daddy too.  Easton and Madi adore him and he plays with them everyday.  He is totally hands on and doesn't mind changing diapers and helping with whatever they need. 
Our little lady walked around for a little bit and then wanted to go to our side of the fence. 
Easton got to ride up the hill too.  Thank goodness for the sides of the sleds or he may have gone down by himself! 
We came back to our side and started a snowman.  Madi kept singing "snowman, tall, tall, tall" over and over while I rolled the ball around.  Once a couple of big kids came to the pond she wanted to watch them.  She totally wants to play with the big kids and thinks she is old enough. 
Here is our finished snowman... 
...and our little dude in front of him.
Every morning Madi has woke up and run to look out the window to see if our snowman was still there.  I think it has finally all melted away.  Guess we'll have to wait until we get some more snow.
