Ben and Haley Enjoyed Snowy December

We certainly had a lot of snow this December!

Ben and Haley got home from their warm, Florida honeymoon right before the big snowstorms hit. Which was good for me as they were awesome snow removers. And who says you need to wear pants to do so?!?

Ben and Haley put the snow to good use. They spent four days in the backyard working on making an igloo. They mixed water with the snow packed in rectangular plastic containers as their building blocks.

I was so happy they chose the spot right below the kitchen window to build their igloo. They provided such entertainment for me each of those days as I could hear them planning and laughing and I could watch them building their igloo from the ground up.

 

They even worked into the night a couple of the days.

Their snow skills didn't stop at igloo. When they saw Sarah's efforts at snowman building, they decided to make two of their own.

They welcomed another snow storm. It meant fresh material for making ice blocks, which they worked on after they had cleaned off our driveway and sidewalks, of course. (Great kids!!)   

  

This night they were determined they were going to stay out there until the last ice brick was in place. They were so eager to see if the dome of the igloo would stay strong.

Ta-da!! Project completed successfully!!

And now here comes one of my favorite jokes... How do you keep an eskimo family together???

With IGLOO!!!!!!
