We decided that we should have an igloo in the backyard. We have seem some around so Jackson started asking for a "snow house"
Matt, being the engineer, was the official builder.........
One completed "snow house". Isn't it very cool? Jackson and Maggie love it.
I made chairs so we could watch the building in progress.............
We have gotten a lot of snow recently so we decided to make a snowman family in the front yard. Jackson gathered walnuts for the eyes and mouths while Maggie put the carrots in for noses. Her techinique was a little funny to watch though, take a bite, put the carrot on the snowman, take a bite put the carrot on the snowman.........
This was just to show how much snow we have. The weather finally got a little warmer today so some of it melted. We had to shovel pathways in the backyard so Maggie could get around. It was too deep for her to be able to walk through - she just kept falling down.
The whole in-law gang over Thanksgiving. It was alot of fun to see everyone. It's been a number of years since we were all together - before any of the grandkids were born I think.
Nice snow angels! It was funny to watch Maggie just flop down in the snow and lay there after she saw the others making snow angels.
Jackson with his two cousins - one is about 5 months younger and the other 9 months younger. It's fun to have them so close in age. They play a lot when they get together.
Maggie really enjoyed the sledding too!!
Some backyard fun while the weather was still reasonably nice. We have really loved having a swingset in our backyard. Well worth the investment - and thanks to Dad for building it.............!!
