Fun in the Snow

The recent snowfall yielded a variety of photos that I’ll be sharing throughout this Christmas week. Today we’ll visit with a family having fun together building a snowman.

After walking through Lewisville for several hours on Saturday morning (December 19, 2009) and photographing scenes from the beautiful snowfall, I decided to head back home. My shortcut down Belnette Drive led me by the Nelson family building a snowman in their front yard. Patrick (turning 10 this week), his sister Colleen (5), and their dad, Rob, were getting ready to place Frosty’s head on his chilly body when I dashed up and began photographing them.

Gradually, Frosty developed a carrot nose, orange-peel eyes and a mouth made up of Tootsie Rolls. A hat, gloves and a scarf topped off his cheery countenance.

Frosty turned out to be quite a respectable snowman, and I have no doubt that he’ll hang around the delightful Nelson family as long as he can!

Here’s wishing the Nelsons a wonderful Christmas!
