The Metzlers: Frosty

The moment Ally woke up to the first snowfall of the season she was ready to head outside and play. She wanted to make a snowman so badly. Lucky for her, the warm weather made for great packing now. The tough part was that there was not much snow at all! But she didn't let that stop her from accomplishing her goal. Here's a photo of our first Frosty of the season. By the time I had a chance to run in and get the camera, his nose, mouth and one arm had already melted/fallen off and he was suffering from a significantly shrunken lower portion. As you can tell from the lack of snow around him, we used virtually ALL the snow we could find! But Ally loved him, nonetheless.

Frosty - in all his glory

Here are some photos from an early December trip to Indy. These are taken at the Children's Museum - the greatest place ever.

These next few shots are from our photo session to create our 2009 Holiday card. I had the kids dress nice one morning before school and sat them down at the kitchen island. It's pretty darn hard to get three kids to look at the camera and smile, nicely. My expectations for our Christmas card went from having the best one of the season, to making sure all three of their faces made it into the photo. Here are a couple of the ones I liked...we went with the second one for the card.
