Well, I have found myself far behind in the blogging world again but better late than never, I suppose. We have had a fairly decent taste of snow this season and Elijah LOVES it. Anything "big" to Elijah is "big 'ol, big 'ol, big 'ol" and this was his first "big 'ol snow" (that he was actually big enough to play in).
He learned to throw snowballs at mommy
He had so much fun being pulled on the sled. We even found a very small hill in the woods behind our house to go down, but once was enough... there were too many sticks and a small bit of frozen water at the bottom. Mommy could only chance it once- not to mention the climb back up was a bit tough for both of us.
And Finally, his first snowman. As you can see, there wasn't enough snow to make him any bigger than Elijah, but Eli didn't care. He chose the hat for his snowman buddy to wear and helped put the (baby) carrot in his nose... we used our scented pine cones for his eyes and gave up on the idea of a mouth :)

What wonderful memories for you. He is getting so big. I'm so glad you are able to really enjoy this journey of being a mommy. I'm so proud of the young woman you have become.
ReplyDeleteThat snowman is so so cute!! I love the look on his face as he is snowing you. Such a sweet treat for him and you to have a snowy winter, and a real treat that you shared with us.
