Andy surprised me by setting out my snowmen collection last night (while I was attending the CREW Christmas party) all by himself, and I think he did a terrific job!
The collection started about 20 years ago when Lyden was just a little over 2 1/2 and Rachel was 5. We were living on a shoe string budget back then, and with not a lot of disposable income, I found a recipe to make salt ceramic (a very economical craft) and decided we could entertain the kids one Saturday afterrnoon by making some Christmas ornaments, including a few snowmen.
From left to right ~ back row: Rachel's original creations (note the big green "R" on the 2nd tall snowman), Andy's "white tail buck" (sans 1 antler which fell off a number of years ago), front row, snowman sporting a toque created by yours truly, and the 3 remaining snowmen created by toddler Lyden. Each year these snowmen are proudly displayed and lovingly packed up on New Year's Day and safely stored away until the following Christmas.

We should totally make some new ones this year. I know you don't want the collection to expand, but, it's good fun!
