Snow Fun!!

We woke up to snow this morning!! (I am so not ready for this weather, even though I LOVE my coat). The kids wanted to go outside and play in the snow, but we didn't have any boots, hat, or gloves that would fit Mara. So after a trip to Target, we played in the snow!! Mara was loving it, but didn't want to keep her gloves on the whole time! Silly girl! Here are my favorite pics.
Making trails in the snow.
Mara's snowball!
She would pick up this much snow, then walk to the end of the driveway and throw it in the street!!! That kept her entertained for about 10 minutes.
I have this fun feature on my camera that will take a picture in B&W but keep out one color! It's always fun to play around with it. I picked the dark pink of her boots and it recognized the pink of her coat, hat & gloves!!
The beginnings of a Snowman!!!!
The snow was sticking really well, so it was easy to make balls.
Another snowball
The snowman's head (at least the beginning of it)
Adding a little more snow
Rolling the body
ALL DONE!!!!
We even grabbed some rocks from the garden for his face!We did pretty good for the first snowman of the winter!! :)

My Mom called and told us that you all in Utah had snow! We are still up in the 70's (except it is WAY windy today so that makes it colder!). Your kids are so cute! That feature on your camera is WAY cool. I am going to ask for a new camera for Christmas, mind if I ask you what kind it is (I guess I did anyways!)?

Fun! But I agree, I am not ready for winter weather yet. I was thoroughly enjoying the Indian Summer.

These pictures are super cute. I adore the pictures in the black and white.....especially the one that also shows Mara's pink cheeks. Those are too cute! Mara looks adorable in that pink coat. I love it!
