"Once there was a Snow Man..."

Just getting started, trying to figure out how it was all going to work!
                                                        A Proud Moment....
Progress....
      Tah- Dah!I couldn't even get the whole thing in the frame!
Keep in mind all these boys are right around 6 ft.....
Definately a masterpiece!

Well, Like I mentioned earlier on Christmas Day we were expecting horrible weather and tons of snow..... it didn't come until much later that evening! But in the days before Christmas we had gotten quite a few inches and there were some neighbors by Doug and Leen who had built some pretty big snowmen. Well, The boys will be boys and decided that they could take on the challenge and build their own snowman. Besides, they wouldn't be Huff's if there were people in the neighborhood who had snowmen, and they didn't! So right about 3:00pm, when the weather started picking up the boys decided to start on the snowman! They were out there for 4 hours in howling wind and rain/ sleet building this guy! It was worth it though! It was by far the biggest snowman in the neighborhood, if not county! You can tell by some of the pictures that it's taller than the bottom of the roof on the house! While they were building it people would drive by several times just to look at the progress, not to mention in the days following the photos that were taken in Doug and Leen's yard of other people's kids in front of the snowman! In fact, Doug got out of a speeding ticket because of that snowman! He got pulled over, and the officer had recognized the street name on his license.  Doug said he was the house with the snowman, the officer started talking to him about it and let him off!! This Snowman will definately go down in the book of legends at the Huff house!
