A week ago Saturday we went to bed with it snowing out. It was a beautiful snow fall, one of those ones where the snow sticks to all the trees and branches. It wasn't snowing very hard, but it was the big beautiful flakes that make you want to stand outside with your mouth open to catch the flakes!
One of the bushes outside our door Saturday night.
We woke up Sunday morning to the phone ringing with a member of the ward announcing that they were canceling church due to all the snow and some power outages. Levi woke up a little later saying that it was time to get ready for church and nursery. He was so upset to hear that we wouldn't be going to church that day until we got him to look out the window. He then excitedly started telling us all the things he had to do to get ready to go and build a snowman! He left the room stating that he was going to go and get his shoes and hat! It was all we could do to get Levi to wait long enough for Dan and I to get showered and some breakfast before he drug us out into the snow.
Levi spent most of his time trying to walk through the snow. We had about 12 inches of snow at this time, and ended up with just over 18 by the end of the afternoon, so for a little man it was tough to walk through. But, I don't think he would have had it any other way!
He made it out into the middle of the yard and this is him asking for help getting back!
Finally, building a snowman with Dad!
Their finished product, complete with peppermint candy eyes, a carrot nose, and a chocolate chip smile!
He really had fun making 'eyes' (big holes in the snow), except he kept losing his mittens.Here he is learning to do a snow angel. He had so much fun with this that he now does it on the floor all over the house!
Me and my snow angel!
