A couple of weekends ago, we grabbed our granddaughter, our 2 youngest kids and their spouses and headed for the snow at Crystal Mountain. All the kids made a snowman and left him undressed/undecorated. So I got busy dressing him with a snowman kit I made out of air dried clay and felt. The Merry Christmas banner was bought at Target in the party section...I re-glued it onto my own ribbon.
Here are some photos I took of the kids and Frosty.
Pictured: My daughter Ronnie with her husband BJ and of course our granddaughter Noelle.
Here my son and his wife Karina are messing around once again, well, Karina is messing around WITH Frosty!
It was really snowing up there.
I made this JOY sign out of big letters bought at Joann's. The "O" is actually a red tinsel wreath that can be purchased at Target, Home Depot or Walmart in various colors. I wrapped red tinsel rope that I bought at Target around all the letters including the "O" so it would match the others. I didn't even bother painting the letters first...I just attached the tinsel rope with heavy duty glue dots here and there.
Cute Kids!
Remember our Christmas tree HERE that we made out of sand? Well, we HAD to make one out of snow too! I bought the ornaments at Target in their dollar bin. The star was also bought there but sold with their miniature trees.
I couldn't leave without posting a photo of my husband and I-This was taken at the very end of the day, we were drenched but still having a great time.
My daughter in law took this shot of the whole scene and posted it on Instagram...By the way, you can find me on Instagram HERE or just search robinbecksnest. You will see there that I HAVE been crafting!
Yes, I will blog about it all soon!

It won't surprise you that this is one of my favorite photos... She had been sledding and playing in the snow and was covered in it. I brought a baggie full of fake glittery snow and put it in her hands, she huffed and puffed and blew the snow out! It was fun for her and made a great photo to put on our Christmas cards.
Yes, I will blog about it all soon!

DeleteRobin,
ReplyDeleteThere are very few photos that really touch my heart, but these just made my heart sing - every one of them! They are so filled with love and joy, and I especially like the JOY ones. I just went to Joanne's yesterday, and love that store. Your sweet Noelle looks precious, and I love the contrast with her bright pink coat and the white snow. You look so cute in your picture, and the last picture looks like a beautiful card you'd buy at a store. Thank you for sharing your family photos, and I hope the new year is being kind to you. Also, thank you for your heartwarming comment about my mom. I am o.k. and she is in my heart always.
