    Me and my daughter played outside almost all day. We made snow angels, plowed the driveway (twice), made a snowman, came inside for some Hot Chicken noodle soup, then back out for more action.

    Some pics of my wonderful day of just me and her. :) She is the light of my eye.

    Yeah, I know the snow man is taller than me, but I am like 6'4"!! ;) (or maybe 5'4":whistle:)

    Great looking pics of father and daughter. A day like that is what it's all about, glad you have some memories to share later down the road.
    No carrot for the snowmans nose??

    That's Princess. She is going on 17 and still kicking like a little puppy :)

    They do grow fast. My son is 12 going on 20 ;) He was at Grandma's house. Just me and her yesterday (well, my Wife was here. She was inside cleaning and wrapping presents).

    She doesn't get cold either Jack. I changed her gloves 3 times throughout the day, and she never complained once. She was bundles up pretty heavy though.

    No carrot. Unfortunately. That pole for his nose is a Solar light rod. I was gonna use the entire light and it would glow at night. But it look terrible. If we get out today, I will get a bag of carrots.

    Plan on cutting some wood today. :)

    I remember those days, enjoy them now, my daughters are teenagers now, and probably wouldn't know if I was out of town, until the house started to cool off. We used to make snowmen families, then fill a sprayer with colored water and make them all different colors.

    The colored water is a great idea! !

    We were going to make another snowman today, but we got some sleet/freezing rain last night and now there is a crust layer on the top. Pretty darn thick too :mad:

    This was some of the best "packing" snow I have seen in a long time. Really wish it didn't rain on it :(

    Yeah.. She barely ever cracks a smile:D

    We got to make one snow man last year and it was a midget compared to yours. I think we only had 3-4 inches at one time last winter. I hope to get a decent one this year so we can play outside and let the oldest girl make one.

    She's a cutie. I have a 2.5 year old daughter myself. Haven't played in the snow with her just yet. Will have to buy her one of those plastic sleds with a rope to pull her around. I only have the one kid so far and don't have a toboggan or sled yet. Enjoy them while they are little.

    Skip the plastic crap -- Flexible Flyer is where its at... Though they do go kinda fast on even a moderate hill. Now that my three year old thinks its fun to stand up half way down the hill I'm thinking a helmet might be a good idea.
