This picture is from Christmas Eve 2004. We got snow for the first time in umpteen years - my little kids had never seen actual snow before. As soon as it started coming down, every child on our block was outside. This snowman is the culmination of all the snow they could gather, from truck beds, car hoods and trampolines. When they first started, they brought me the bottom sphere and said "We're going to build a snowman - this is the head!" By morning all our snow was gone and the snowman was fading fast. We've still got some snowballs saved in our freezer and of course the memories of our magical Christmas Eve blizzard.
