Making our own White Christmas...

My parents arrived this week!!!  Jack is in heaven.  I wasn't sure if he would understand that the Grandma and Grandpa we talk to on the computer are the same one here, but he definitely does.

I asked them to pack a suitcase full of snow, but it didn't work...so we had to make our own snow.  Of course, the credit all goes to T.G.W.G.S., who dropped off the makings for a styrofoam snowman at our house.  Here are the steps for making a Saudi snowman:

 Step 1: T.G.W.G.S. drops off three styrofoam cubes of different sizes.


Step 2: Get Grandpa to cut off the corners of each cube.

Step 3: Invite neighbor kids over to help.  Give them all forks to rough up the sides and round the corners.


Step 4: Push a broom handle through the cubes.  If you need help, Jack is always willing, and very strong.

Step 5:  Try on all the possible snowman clothing.

Step 6: Dress the snowman and put him in the yard! Don't worry, T.G.W.G.S. already brought over real coal for the eyes and buttons.

Step 7: Now that the house is full of "snow"....
