I don't really like the snow. I think it makes the trees and such pretty and it's fun for the kids, but I hate driving in it, and I don't like scrapping it off my car!!! I was thinking we were pretty lucky because we hadn't really had to deal with any snow yet this winter. But eventually our luck ran out and we got DUMPED on!! Thankfully it was while Nathan was out of school, so I didn't have to worry about driving in it or trying to take the kids out in it on my own. We had a huge storm come through that brought about 10-12 inches at our house and up to 15 in the surrounding areas. Then about 5 days later, another storm came our way and brought another 5 or 6 inches. Again, Nathan was home from school, so it was way better for me. Kansas City does get snow, but it's very rare to get this much at one time. So basically the whole city was shut down for a couple of days, but I guess it's better than people having to try and drive in it. Needless to say, Carter was so excited that it snowed! Like any kid he LOVES to play in it, so Nathan took him out one day and they had a blast!! And I was pretty happy that he finally got to use the snow pants I bought him months ago!!

| He was one happy boy!! |
 |
| They decided to go play right outside our back door since it wasn't as deep there. When we first got the snow it was really light and powdery. After a couple of days it turned into that hard, packing snow so it was perfect for snowman building. |
 |
| His first snow angel... |
 |
| Nathan decided it would be a good idea to wrestle in the snow... |
 |
| Carter loved getting thrown in it!! |
 |
| Let the snowman building begin! |
 |
| Chase hung out with me inside because he was sick, but he kept an eye on those guys and made sure the snowman was built correctly :) |
 |
| Every once in a while Carter would come and throw snow at Chase through the window. He thought it was sooo funny!! |
 |
| Putting the carrot nose on... |
 |
| And coming back from a little hike to find rocks for the eyes and buttons.. |
 |
| Love these boys!!! |
 |
| After a while Carter asked me for his sunglasses.. It gets bright with the sun on the snow!! |
 |
| The finished product!! |
 |
| Carter was so proud of his snowman, and he kept checking on it for days after! |
WOW, that is a great snowman! There is nothing better than the first day of snow, then after the first day I'm over it, too! :) I didn't realize you guys got THAT much snow!
