We were distracted by Snowbirthdaycake (yes, real sprinkles and real cake decorating for the snow. It was quite tasty) and Snowshaveice. 
"Smile Ellie". This is after she became a giant and bashed the snowman down. We also had fun making snow angels and shoveling snow.
Snowkitty survived the giant for about 20 minutes
Who me? Snow giant?
We came in to warm up and to get Garrett up. Then we went back out with the whole neighborhood to sled down the hill across the street. Even little Lindsey Kate came out for a few minutes to observe the fun. It was rain/sleeting by then and so wet that I couldn't take any pictures. However, Ellie was yelling "weepee weepee" (which is how she says "whoopee") as we went down the hill. Garrett made a number of runs with me, Kristie and Shawn (his fire captain buddy across the street). He did climb on a sled by himself once but I managed to prevent him from careening down the hill. Ellie and Autumn went down by themselves and ended up in the bushes but were laughing and only partially disheveled.
Here we are after sledding, the pink cheeked crew:
