Snow Angels

Last Saturday, we spent the evening with the Thompsons - a little babysitting on the docket for us, and The Hobbit for everyone else. Before those activities commenced, we spent plenty of time as one big gang. When the movies and wrestling and make-believe games got old and everyone needed a little space, we took Topher and Maddie outside for some fun in the freshly fallen snow. They had been sledding all day with Zach and Lori, but what two- or five-year-old turns down yet another opportunity for some good, cold and frosty-wet fun? The neighbors left behind a pretty awesome snow slide, super tall, with steps and everything.

The neighbors had also created a big snowman that we decided was a Mama snowbear (it was either that or a snowman with a bra on its head, so we settled on the former). After slip-sliding for a while, we decided to make a baby snowbear to keep Mama company.

What with rolling around in the snow making baby bear a bottom, a torso, a head, and two ears, all four of us were quickly nearly frozen through, so we went back inside to decorate Christmas cookies with everyone else. That adventure is next!
