Giant Snowman!

I've been out in the BBY since Christmas Eve - it was a treacherous journey on transit from Van to BBY, and it hasn't been nice enough to return comfortably so here I am for now.

On Christmas Eve, I was supposed to do some holiday baking for the big dinner and gift-exchange on Christmas Day, but when my 22-year old brother went outside announcing he was going to make a snowman, I had to follow. I guiltily left my mom to do the baking... heh heh heh... Thanks Mom! *voice fading* *running down stairs* *Slam!* Ah, to be 8 years old again, if only for a moment, trying to make the biggest possible snowman.

Here we are making the base and mid-section.



The base quickly got too heavy to be pushed by one person, so here we are finishing off the base.



The snowman was pretty tall, so we used a step-ladder precariously lodged in the snow to reach the top.



The finished product!



In many ways, snow is a major inconvenience. But the snowman... Totally worth it!

awesome job, jen; it looks bigger than from the small msn pic. Next time i can bring over some 6ft ladders and we can attempt to construct a 2 storeys high snowman. :)
