Snow building fun

After sledding yesterday, the Whomptons set out to play in the snow today. We spent quite a while collecting up snow for the eventual construction. Everyone helped gather up the large pile of snow even Lola (between pulled toboggan rides). There was some disagreement about what to eventually make. Raina wanted an igloo, Krystal wanted a castle, Eric just wanted to make a snowman because he knew how to. Finally we settled on a big snow head looking thing.
Snow pictures never turn out very well, so you have to look closely. Notice the eyebrows, nose, and the booger hanging out of his right nostril.

Originally it was sort of looking like a gorilla, but fangs are always a nice touch. This probably explains why the snow people at the Whompton household tend to look evil. We playfully call it "Satan Claus".

You can just barely make out in these pictures the arms stretching out along the ground so that he can hold his "Scepter of Power" and wave to passers by. These are reoccurring themes.

Raina really wanted an igloo, so we sort of compromised and made a hole on the backside that went all the way through to the front connecting up to the mouth.
