Eleanor is obsessed with the idea of building snowmen and making snowballs. Unfortunately for her, Wyoming is very cold during the winter - and thus the snow is typically very dry and doesn't stick together. This makes snowmen and snowballs impossible, but is great for snow angels... We recently had a warm spell, however, where the top layer of snow melted and what was left was nicely sticky. A neighbor lady made a great snowman in the yard across the street from us so Ella could look out the window and see him. That afternoon, we had to make one for her to see out of her window!
So this is Ella's first snowman. She LOVED making him - especially dressing him.
Today it is snowing again (and has been on and off for the last week) so we have plenty of snow once again... when it warms up I'm sure you'll see more of our creations.
