A Snowy Blizzard - Day 2

It didn't snow anymore on Friday this past week, but we had a foot of snow to play with. All the schools were closed, including ours and Daddy decided to work from home (yea!). So after breakfast, we headed back out once again to play in the snow. (since there were so many pics, I made them small, but you can click on them to enlarge when viewing on the blog website)
Our house has never seen this much snow! This was a once in a lifetime shot :-)

Daddy - the SERIOUS snowman builder. Abby was happy to build a snowman for third time though. Jake helped a bit, but decided pegging Daddy on the head with snowballs was much more fun!
Abby finally gets in on the action and throws a giant snowball at Daddy. Such fun!
Daddy was taking too long (such a perfectionist!) and the kids got bored with the snowman so they started swinging and running around the yard instead.
Love this one of Jake...look at those legs...he had such speed going down the slick slide!

Ah, nearing the end...Abby decides to come back and help...and add her own finishing touches. A snow puppy!

I didn't know anything about making snow ice cream; I just had my kids eat the snow straight from the backyard! But now I have the recipe next time we get a foot of snow, lol.

Lily wasn't too sure what to make of the snow, she just sat there looking around for the longest time, but I finally got her to crack a smile.
The finished product...
