More Snow?

I couldn't believe it when it snowed again today a few days after Christmas.  The snow was so pretty and light and probably wouldn't last long so after Brant woke up from his nap we went outside to make a snowman with the pretty powdery snow.  Brant had a hard time making it into balls so I made a larger ball and he helped add more snow to it to make our snowman.  We wanted to decorate this snowman so we went inside for some supplies.  I colored two water bottle lids with black sharpie for the eyes, and we took the nub end off of one of the carrots we had left over (that were for Santa's reindeer) for the nose.  We were going to use a piece of red ribbon for the mouth but it wouldn't stay on so our snowman just had eyes and a nose so he couldn't talk back. ;) I broke off a branch from one of our bushes to use for an arm and Brant proceeded to tell me that snowmen have two arms, and I told him I was going to get another branch.  Once we put both branches into the snowman I realized I hadn't taken the leaves off of the branches so I asked Brant if he wanted me to take the leaves off.  Brant insisted that he liked the twigs with the leaves on it so our snowman has some hairy leafy arms.   It continued to snow the whole time we were making our snowman so it was a little hard to capture great pictures without lots of little white dots zooming accross the photos, but I did manage to get some.  Here are the pictures of our snowman adventure.
