Snow day! While I still have to work, here's what we managed to build this morning with this year's first big snow.

Snowman contest anyone?
Epic snögubbe   
Our toddler LOVED it. This is the first winter he can really romp around. It was a battle to get our sport-themed snögubbe's torso up. We had to use a table top as a ramp...
