snow, snow, and more snow

It's been a beautiful winter this year.
An absolute winter wonderland.
We've had cold, cold temperatures, ferocious winds
and over 90 inches of snowfall this year.
Erin and I couldn't see a single snow man on our street.
We were determined to get one built  before Christmas.
Isn't he a dandy?   Here is the before the next snow fall...


...and here he is after the next snow fall.   
He just keeps getting dumped on and dumped on  
      we brush him off daily and have replaced his carrot nose
 and charcoal eyes several times.  
The snow to date is up to his belly.  :)




This is our back yard.... see the swing
and trampoline out there.... somewhere?


the snow is up to our porch... covering our 3 steps.
See Kodiak's paw prints as he goes out to do
his business.... somewhere out there.


                                               so funny.

                                       our little pathway to the front steps


poor dad as he tackles the driveway... we need a snowblower  
(or Scott and Joe to come back)
