And there's always something special about a baby's first snow storm. He was absolutely mesmerized! Love it!
We didn't get much, but it was enough to get bundled up for and spend the morning playing.


Levi had a blast. He was running around everywhere - throwing snow, eating snow, screaming "I LOVE SNOW", he is the world's biggest fan.
It was tricky playing because since Ezra can't walk yet without holding on to something, I carried him the whole time. I mean, you can't just leave a baby sitting in a pile of snow. That's cruel!


All Levi talked about all morning was having a snowball fight, so with a 22 lb. baby in one arm, we had about a half hour snowball fight. Needless to say, Levi won - pelting us like Buddy the Elf as I
balanced the baby on my hip and bent up and down up and down making snowballs with one hand. Man, it was tricky! I needed Husby to take off work and come have a proper snowball fight with Levi!

He ended up getting off a little early that day, so Levi got to go out and build a snowman using literally all of the snow in the yard! Haha!

Such a great snowman .... but an even better Daddy.

Note the light saber arm and the Thor hammer arm. Toughest snowman on the block, yo.
A few minutes after coming in after the snowman pictures were snapped, I suffered a massive muscle spasm in my neck/shoulder - likely from my one armed snowball fight earlier that day. It was debilitating. I couldn't move my head for a week and a half straight ... honestly one of the toughest weeks in my life. I've NEVER experienced such pain, and pray I never do again.
But, after seeing this pictures and reflecting back on the giggles and screams of my babies that morning, it was totally worth it. Screaming, crying, couch-ridden pain and all. Next time, I may just wait until the babies nap time before snowball fighting with my biggest. :)
I hope you've all been able to enjoy some snow this year. There is nothing more beautiful than the land and trees covered in a blanket of ivory.
That's an awesome snowman! Love it :) sorry about your neck though, I can't imagine going that long with a neck spasm.
ReplyDeleteSo ironic. I live in a country where 6 out of 12 months everything's covered in snow - lots of it! So as you're there saying "Yay, snow!" we're here saying "can't that freaking snow melt already!" :D But I totally get you - it'd be so sad if there was no snow the entire winter.
ReplyDeleteCute! And awesome snowman.
