SNOWMEN, SNOWBALL FIGHTS, AND BOTTLE ROCKETS

winter makes a dramatic display in white here in Germany, that's for sure...I keep expecting to see the White Witch's sledge pull around the corner at any minute...

Here's my attempt at a self-portrait...

Dan shovels the walk so we can get to the patio where we will shoot fireworks...

a snowman family portrait...These were the first snowpeople I've made since we lived in TN when I was 3...so really the first I remember...

Dan and Nette putting on the finishing touches...

E with the snow lady...

Me and the kids with our snow people. See the old army hat on the snow man? It's from a British soldier found in a German field after the war ended.

The snow hit most of Europe. It made the news. Here's a link with the story. In this picture, you can see how thick it was. My footprint swallowed my hand when I measured the depth.

Looks picturesque, doesn't it? But shoveling snow is much harder work than this Mississippi boy expected it to be!

This is a neat spiral staircase behind E & D's school. I'll post some more pics like this on my design blog. If you want to see them, follow the link on my blogger profile...
