We woke up on Sunday morning to an inch or so of snow on the ground. We were able to get out in it before it started to melt. Turns out, it was the perfect snow for building!
We, of course, built a snowman. (Just for the record, Amelia had mittens on and was having trouble putting the pieces on to the snowman so we briefly removed them). A couple of years ago, she received a snowman building kit with all of the pieces necessary to build a snowman: hat, scarf, carrot nose, pipe, "coal" for eyes, mouth, and buttons. We just had to add snow!
We also built a little tunnel for her to crawl through.
And, following a pretty intense snowball fight, we headed inside.
Before we left the outdoors though, Amelia formed a snowball and insisted on bringing it inside. She sat on a towel near the door and ate the whole snowball!

I can't believe you did ALL that with that amount of snow! Emily was mad at me because I wouldn't let her lay in the snow in her dress and tights after church!
