The Blizzard of '09

It seems we got our entire winter's allotment of snow in one dropping. 8 -10 inches of the white stuff. Eddie's kids came over as, of course, we just can't have school in these conditions, and played in the snow. They tried their hand at snow sculptures.

First, they made this just to get the hang of it.


Than they made this one for the neighborhood contest ( 2nd place).

OK, you got me, they actually made this one:


And they did some sledding. Afterwards, Mema made them some hot cocoa and fed them the remnants of Papa's birthday cake.
Two days later, after most of the snow had melted away, Cammie looked at what was left of her once magnificent snow person and announced that only his bootie was left.
