Do you want to build a snowman?

Dani has been wanting to build a snowman for over a year now (thanks a lot Anna and Elsa).  Since there was some freezing drizzle overnight, the snow was a little more wet and we were finally able to build a snowman!!!   It was a quick snowman since there was still freezing drizzle and rain coming down and that was not fun, but we (I) did it!!  Courtney spend the night, so she and Lily were there to help!

Yay!  Dani named him "Olaf" of course.

Finally -- real snowball fights!!

Later in the afternoon we made more snowmen -- Olaf cookie snowmen!!!  I bought a kit awhile ago and today was the perfect day to finally put it to use.

It was quite a process,  First we had to make and roll out the dough (Lily was impressed that we had "one of those things" aka a rolling pin.  Obviously we make too make slice and bake cookies.)

Next was use a cookie cutter to make Olafs. (Hey kids, cookie cutters are not just for play doh!)

After they cooked and cooled, we had to make royal icing and ice the Olafs and put on the eyes.  Then we had to wait for the icing to set and dry.

After the royal icing was dry, we got to decorate the rest of the Olaf!!

Ta Da!

We each got to decorate 2.

Lily's and one of mine.

I was pretty proud and impressed with how they turned out!

And most importantly, they were yummy too!!
