Snowman

I found two more slides of Mom and her awesome Santa snowman.

What a sculpture!
I have posted on this before HERE, HERE and HERE.

Snow

Here is the house surrounded by snow back in 1977.
The next year, on this very date, we had a blizzard.

The blizzard of 78.

That was a lot of snow.
I am sure it was a real pain for people with jobs and stuff but for a kid, it was great.

We missed a ton of school and had hundreds of adventures in the snow.
Forts, tunnels, sledding and crazy deep snow.
I have had stories to tell for 32 years.

Happy anniversary blizzard of 78 survivors!

You couldn't make a snowman with blizzard snow but I made one the year before.

Fruity Smiles

Mom and I with another snowman.
This one has a fruity grin.

Dad and I pose with this guy too.
This must have been my first adventure with snowman.

Snowman

That's me with one of Mom's snow creations.

My face looks like I think I am a King on my throne.

Where are my gloves?

So this snowman is Santa and it looks like he is bringing me a little brother for Christmas.

Wonderful work on the snowman Mom.

Is that food coloring on the face?

I like how they made a platform for me to sit on too.

Brett in snowman form prior to his birth in December of 1967.

How many other people can say that?

I need to go because it looks like I am getting fussy.
It is probably my cold hands.
Cold hands make me fussy.

Snowman and Chad

Chad next to the snow Santa that Mom made in 73.

The pictures in the animation yesterday were taken at the same time.

I have to point out Chads gloves yet again.

You can click on the labels below to see more of this snowman or Chad.

Yeah like we built this snowman. No that would be my Moms handy work.
1973 and we had a Santa snowman so we were guaranteed a stop by him.

Where were we? 1451 Lexington.

We posed with Dad in a picture I posted HERE and we talked about our favorite gloves there.

Chad is eating the snowman with his Tweety gloved hand and sporting his dog puppet on his other hand.

Bugs and Yosemite Sam for Brett and I

Mom built some other cool snowmen so when I find some of those pictures I will post them.

Snowman

This is not near as great as my Mothers snowman, as seen here, but I think Brett and I did a pretty good job.

It was 1973 and I was 8 and Brett was 6 and the snowman is almost as big as us.

Notice that Brett is striking a pose that he would later teach to Chad.

Notice we are wearing our favorite gloves, Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam. (Looks like I am holding an icicle)

It's supposed to snow tonight.

If it is a good snowman building snow take a picture of your snowman, send it to me and I will post it here.
