DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN
Here in Southwest Virginia, we don’t get a lot of snow. So, when we got this gorgeous wet snow, we decided to have a family fun day. We probably got between 5-6 inches of snow, and we were thrilled! I bet you ladies who get snow all of the time are thinking, “you can keep your little snow, we don’t want anymore!”
Because we don’t get a lot of snow, I don’t have appropriate “snow gear.” So, I have to have on my fashionable warm clothing which worked out just fine. I am wearing a Dennis Basso coat that I purchased from QVC. I love it because it is warm and also it is reversible!
My daughter, who just moved back from Alaska, has plenty of cold weather gear. She wanted to make sure that I took her “fashionable” cold weather gear since I poked at her for her attire in this post. Lol! Her cold weather gear is not cheap, but it is what you need if you are going to be out in the cold and wet. She is wearing Arc’teryx, and she swears by this brand. Here are a similar jacket and pants to hers. Her boots are called Xtratufs, and EVERYONE wears these in Alaska. They get the insulated type, and they wear them all year long. It is essential to stay warm and dry when you live in such a harsh climate.
As I was going to get dressed, she insisted on taking a pic of my Christmas Vacation look. Lol!
Little man thought my boots (they are Ashleigh’s) were a lot bigger than his. He just kept staring at my feet. Lol!
It was a stick your tongue out and catch a snowflake,
a, throw a snowball and run like heck, kind of day. It was also a “let’s build a snowman” and make hot chocolate kind of day.
Joseph and Kayla got to work on making the body of the snowman.
Everybody helped in making the snowman, even little Beckham. He was making sure that the snowman didn’t run off. Lol!
Emersyn found her own Olaf. Lol! He featured blackberry eyes, a boxwood mouth, a carrot nose, and buttons made of railroad rocks. Lol! Joe contributed one of his hats, and I added a scarf that I made years ago. 
I set the tripod up and put the camera on a timer so that we could get a family picture of all of us together. Joseph waited until the timer started flashing that it was ready to take the picture and then he shook the tree to make the snow fall. Lol! We got doused!
These two are hard to get a picture with so I felt lucky that they let me get one of the three of us. I wish my other son had been here since we never get one of all three of them together.
Little man started to get cold, so he and I went inside to make some hot chocolate. 
Then these two started making fun of me for being so short. I AM NOT SHORT! I am 5’6″ tall, and that is not short, they are just giants.
I hope you enjoyed my snow-day
Especially when they stand on their tip-toes!!!
I hope you enjoyed my snow-day today.

He is quite the character. Lol!

Snow pictures are beautiful. Gotta admit I like the cousin Eddie photo too ?
Wasn’t that funny? Joe would fuss at me for putting that on the blog. Lol!
Looks like a blast ! So impressed that you made real hot cocoa !
Lol! I love real hot cocoa! I thought about making snow cream also.
What a great day – memories to last forever! You have a beautiful family with great spirit. So happy to see you having fun together. Merry Christmas
I love being able to make the memories with my grandbabies that years from now they will look back on fondly.
❤️❤️❤️
It’s a winter wonderland when it snows like that. Lol, I still hate it.
Lol! I love it!!!
Looks like so much fun and the pictures are fantastic!
Dear Tanya Will preface this message By telling How much I enjoy your daily messages, But have to issue a warning, my son was a police detective who told us to never put a child’s name on any of their clothing, or backpack etc,, as it makes it very easy for a child predator to use it to gain the confidence of the child who will think if they know their names they must be safe, saw your grand daughter’s name on her shirt and thought I have to pass this along…Much love to you
Annie, I appreciate your warning. The suit that she has on is one that she got because of cheerleading. The entire squad had their names on them but I will pass on the warning.
