Snowman

Saturday night's forecast showed rain and 6-8 inches of snow. By 7pm Mallory was begging to go outside as the snow began to cover everything in sight. I started by telling her it was too cold and dark to go outside, but then realized (after stepping outside) that the snow brightened things up and it wasn't near as cold as I thought.

happy, happy, happy girl

To our delight, the snow had perfect packing ability and a snowman was quickly born.
After adding arms, Mallory decided the snowman needed a hat.

Layers and layers for 30 minutes of snowy bliss. Every occasion has the great potential to end in tears. Thankfully we're not above bribery and offered a snack in trade for coming inside.
