Lulee's 1st Snowman




Lulee has been excited about snowmen for a long time. She calls them "no-man". Everywhere we go she can point out a snowman a mile away. She will start screaming no-man, no-man, no-man!!! Christmas time was the best for her because her favorite thing was everywhere!!!

My cousin Ali had sent the girls a card with money. With Lulee's money she bought a Frosty the Snowman book. She wants to look at that book all the time. She will sing Frosty the Snowman and will drag that book with her around the house for us to read it to her.

We always tell her if it ever snows that we will build her a snowman. We have had several promises of snow and it never really happened. Finally, we got some snow!!! Not a lot, but our deck had more than other places. We all woke up excited about the snow and decided to build Lulee's very own no-man!

Sadie Bug wasn't here. She was having a "Nanny night". She has been spending the night with my grandmother every Friday night since she was little. They very much enjoy their time together. I am glad that she is able to be close to her. I remember when me, my sister and my cousin would all play over there and stay over there. We loved hanging out at our grandparent's house. Nanny always wants to do everything for you. She won't hardly let you do anything to help. It's like having a vacation when you go and spend the night over there. I do wish she would let us help more. After all that she has done for us, that is the least we could do for her.

Anyway, here are a few pics from the other day's snow event. Daddy, Mommy and Lulee went out side to attempt to build her no-man and the snow was so fine it was like dust. We couldn't really get it to pack together into a ball. We played in the snow on the deck for a little while and then Lulee and I went back inside.






Daddy was determined to make her a no-man since we have talked about it so much. He stayed outside and believe it or not. He actually made one.





He asked me to get him some eyes, nose and arms (olives and grape twigs). This no-man made Lulee very happy. She stood at the door looking out at it forever. Every time she would walk by, she would make sure it was still there. We felt bad that Sadie Bug couldn't help us with the snowman, so we saved him in our freezer so she could see it when she got home. :)
