There was a time when we lived in a snowy, snowy place. Our lives were kind of like this for what seemed like 6 months of the year:

When we lived there, our kids did all of the normal snow things like having snowball fights,

and building snow tunnels.

There were snow angels and snowmen in our yard every winter.
Now we live in a place where there is a lot of ice and sleet but not that much snow. Since we got quite a bit yesterday, I wasn’t surprised when Violet was in a big hurry to go out and play in it. I figured she’d have some big snow balls rolled up pretty quickly and be banging on the door begging carrots and knit caps.
So you can imagine why I was at a loss for words today when she eagerly called me outside some time later to view her creations and this is what I saw…
