Since we made so many snowman when it snowed on Thanksgiving the girls tried to come up with other fun things to build with the snow. Holly started with this igloo like creation which she made out of a giant snowball.
Then she decided to turn it into an Eiffel Tower. Cool!
The next day Megan went out to play in the snow and dug a tunnel through the Eiffel Tower. She and Nathan had a fun time squeezing through it.
Then creative Scott thought of another fun thing to do in the snow. He and Holly got out a tarp and made a small ice skating rink. They built the snow up around the tarp and then filled the tarp with water. Yes, they did this in the dark.
The next day it was frozen and the kids all enjoyed sliding across it. Scott also froze water in all our buckets which we could then slide along the ice.
All the kids had a blast but got wet because the ice wasn't frozen all the way through and it cracked. 
Today I am thankful that:*Nathan is feeling better--I hate to see my kids sick
*Emily is learning to cook. She made brownies with cookie dough in them on Saturday. Yum!
*Melissa is so creative. She is always showing me the "interesting" things she has made.
