The kids discovered our first snowfall this past week provided ideal snow for building a snowman so they got right on it.

G. found a hat, scarf and carrot nose for their nearly completed creation. I saw one of their cousins put on the branch arms but then there was a big ruckus outside.

"We need acorns for his eyes and mouth mommy!" yelled L.

No one could find any under the snow after looking for a few minutes. But then I remembered the package we received from a Flat Stanley family in Texas. They had sent us some pecans from their backyard tree...

I've never made a Texas pecan snowman before but I think it worked perfectly.
