We had a bit of white powder in Reno over the Christmas holiday week. It wasn’t enough snow to keep my mom stuck here but it was enough snow to play in.
So, we bundled up in our finest snow clothes (including tutus) and headed to the backyard.
The husband shoveled the snow.
Grandma and the big kid worked to form a body.
A head was added and the figure was carefully adjusted.
The finished touches were added with no help from the scarf and carrot stealing dog.
The inspector made sure everything was looking right.
And finally Bob the Snowman was born into the Torres clan.
Complete with a pipe, a pink scarf, and a carrot nose.
He fits in perfectly with the family.

Why have I not been wearing a tutu when I go in the snow? It looks like it makes the snow way more bearable! And that first family pic is so awesome. All of them are, really.

Guess you need to invest in some tutus.
You guys look so happy.
Bob too.

That’s an awesome looking snowman. The pipe really makes him.
No snowman is complete unless he has a pipe.
I love Bob! We’d give anything to have that much snow. Or even an inch. I feel so bad for the boy!

Bob is no longer here because we built him where the sun shines but we still have snow in the shady parts of the yard.
Awesome pictures! I love the pink tutu in the bright white snow.
