Family Snowman Fun!!!

It snowed!! It was the perfect snowman snow. Ben was home so we built a huge snowman.  Lydia donated her hat and scarf and couldn't let us forget the carrot nose.  Eli was a bit tired so and didn't seem to care much about the snow. He just want to be on the swing.

Love her face here. 

We had a snow ball fight. Which Lydia loved.  She doesn't mind the cold or the wet.  The trees were filled with snow.  Ben would shake the branches and it would pile down on her and she would just laugh and say, "Lets do it again."  

Snow is coming down

Covered but happy. Wish I had captured more of her face.  

We couldn't let the snowman melt!  Lydia and Ben had fun knocking it down anyway.

Here is some of the snowball fight fun.

There is a children's book called Robot Zot.  The kids love it and it is very comical.  We bought a pack and play a while back. It always seems like we need one when we go places.  After a few days of play of the kids playing with it, we came up with the idea to cut holes in it for the eyes and hands.  Lydia loves it.  Eli warmed up to it slowly.  One day he wanted me to try it on him over and over again.  Watching him was so much fun because he would fall down flat on his face so he could slide out of it.  Then he would drag the box so I could put it on him again and again.  Funny kid.  I love how only his feet stick out and the eye holes don't quite work on him.

Lesley and Aubrey came and visited us at the beginning of February.  She came down for a day and we made a hair bow holder.  It was fun to chat.   Aubrey and Lydia have so much fun getting together.  We went outside and played in our "backyard" park. That is what Lydia calls it. When we  came in from outside Lydia started doing Aubrey's hair.  It was so adorable.  Thanks  Les for getting pictures.

In January my aunt, Veralyn, went  on a cruise.  A much deserved trip being a widowed mom of three.  I watched her kids for a week.  Ben was in Logan so it helped break up the monotony of having him gone. Her kids behaved well and our kids loved all the new toys  and company.  The all adopted each other.
Keyan, Tailyn and Lauren played with Eli and Lydia so much that I know my kids went through withdrawals.
