We had a lovely big-flaked snow this past Sunday. Truthfully, it was so pretty...large flakes falling from the sky. The air was still warm and 2 of our 5 were a bit under the weather so we stayed home from church and the big kids and I frolicked about outside. Overall, I think we got 10-12".
I wish I'd have helped them with a snowman in the morning...it was a wet snow and perfect for packing. After lunch the air had gotten colder and the snow was hard but we managed to squeak out a small and pathetic looking little man.
Little Biscuit, though recovering from a cold, came out for 10 minutes to experience life. Life did not impress her but she found great joy in watching us from the window after she went back in with Daddy.

Xavier tried to sled.
