My family has been crushing on The Snowman for the last 20 years.

The movie and book are pure magic. I have posted about this before. You have got to see it or read it. If you haven’t yet, I tell you, you are missing out.

This year we had lots of snow in fabulous Provo, UT. And it was PERFECT packing snow. Dreamy snow for making snowmen and the like.

So, Summer decided she was going to re-create our beloved “Snow Man”.

She spent all day working on it. (With a little help from Dad and Eno)

She even made a trip to the DI to find just the right hat and scarf, and she went to a fancy grocery store to get the right kind of licorice buttons.

It reminded me of when we were kids and she would get something into her head and then she would just DO IT with all her heart and soul until the job was done. Even if she had NO IDEA how to do it, she would just go for it. It is one of her best qualities. And in these pictures of her I think I see a glimmer in her expression that is PURE SUMMER. It is that little girl shining through!

Anyway, here is her finished product (at night, because. like I said, it took her all. day. long. to finished it)

Not bad, not bad at all.

Tess and Bette were so smitten the moment it was finished they went outside and gave it a giant HUG!
