A little snow, but a lot of play

Meghan came to play with Ezri in the snow on Saturday. They solved the “not enough snow for a snowman” problem by reducing the scale on their snow people. Thus, there was enough snow for a whole snow family.

Here is Meghan on the outing. I was off at a committee meeting in Bloomington.
“i made the snowballs and ezri explained how tall each one should be. (she even used the word ‘height’. :)) i’m not sure if our minimalist detail comes across here, but the people have stick arms and the cats have stick ears. plus ivan is only two snowballs since he is a baby. 🙂 ezri also provided other details like which people had glasses and how many paws cats had, but i had to draw the line somewhere. :op ”

Meghan again
“we started with an ezri and a meghan and somehow ended up moving on to create the entire extended blau/miller family, including cats. 😀 (if memory serves, from left to right this is uncle tim, aunt amy, grandpa mark, grandma tam, grandpa harvey, grandma liz, meghan, ezri, eric, amanda, ivan, manchi, ellie and sushi.) ”

Here’s a close-up for seeing those details.

Here are the pair hard at work on the snow clan.

Meghan was also gracious enough to pull Ezri on her sled and take her to her pretend house in the shrubbery for a nap cuddled in a blanket of snow.

Here she is at her house under the bushes.

On Friday, we had two smaller friends over for “sledding” AKA moms dragging small girls in circles in the backyard.
