Finley's First Snowman

The thing Finley was most excited about for our trip to Colorado was building a snowman.  When we arrived, there was very little snow.  Saturday afternoon, that all changed.  While Finley napped, a ton of snow was dumped from the sky.  In the first picture, notice my sad, snow covered rental car.  Let's hope it defrosts by Tuesday.  When Finley woke up from her nap, we headed straight outside to build a snowman.  Colorado snow is much different from the snow I grew up with in Maryland.  It isn't good snow making snow.  Heather helped by shoveling their driveway to get bigger piles of snow, but in the end, our snowman was tiny, but proud.  And Finley gave him a bow...hysterical.  It was impossible to get her to pose for a picture.  She was a machine in the snow, running from side to side, making snowballs, helping build the snowman and just enjoying the snow.  I am guessing she is going to ask her Daddy to move here to Colorado when we get home.  She isn't bothered by the cold in the least and LOVES the snow. We had to force her inside after playing in the dark for awhile. The sun was beginning to set when we first starting the building, but it had been dark for awhile once we finally got her back inside.
