Merry Christmas from Frosty the Snowman and "Da Ugly Suit"!!!

This Christmas has been one of the best EVER!!! We've never been able to do THIS before!!! EVER as a family. Not even my husband and I, when we moved back to his "native" land (New York - 1 block from Lock 17), after getting married.

All of us... building Frosty! And then I decided he should don "Da Ugly Suit". So I go outside and here he is...



My young (29) next door next door neighbor happened to be outside, and we started talking. I told him what I was doing to poor Frosty, and a synapse of the whole contest. He was laughing and volunteered to take the above picture! We've talked about the boys. He knows. Thank you Trey :D

Alright Karen, as soon as I can get to the post office, she is on her way. Pathetic... 12 days in a row it has snowed here and they have still now plowed anywhere in Vancouver except the throughways. Nor have they laid sand or salt. I have a feeling if we don't get rain this weekend and warm temps (45 or so) and it all melts off I will be writing the county asking where our tax dollars are going :D
Yeh... we live just off of a very busy street and here is what the intersection looked like yesterday. It's worse today!



It's all good though because we have Frosty.

And he has inspired the whole neighborhood!!! And that is a wonderful thing!!!

BTW - For height comparison, I am 5'6". It took Dave and I two attempts to get his middle section up. Dave thinks it weighed about 200+ pounds. Yeh... Hoo Rah :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

What a beautiful white Christmas! Thanks for sharing these pictures Ang.

We had a white Christmas here on our little Gulf Coast barrier island also...thick white fog that is. Visibility was about 20 feet. The horns on the oil wells sounded like light house fog horns. I felt like I was back in New England.

That may be the biggest SnowMan I have every seen. Oh... it must be a SnowLady cause she is wearing Da Suit!
She must be so very cold!
We have had Freezing temps but no snow here. We get snow maybe every 10 years and that is enough for me.
I bet you are done with the diversion of the weather and ready for boring warm weather again!
