OUR 9-FOOT 2-INCH SNOWMAN

Rick had a brilliant idea today. He wanted to go outside and build an eight-foot snowman. So we all bundled up and headed outside for a little fun in the snow. Here is Malia ready to get the party started! See how the snow packs!


Here she is helping Daddy roll the second level of the snowman.


How many levels did our snowman have? Five!!!!!


I must admit I grew a little concerned when Rick broke out the rickety wooden ladder! Thank goodness Spencer was there to hold it! Then Rick held it so Spencer could put on the finishing touches.


You could feel the tension in the air as Rick measured the height of the snowman. But cheers broke out when he read the results ... nine feet, two inches!!


Here are the amazing architects standing by their breathtaking masterpiece.


Way to go, team!!!
