Day 18: This snowman comes with a story. E had made a little snowman the night before. While playing the kids got into a fight and it resulted in Duke kicking over E's snowman. She came in the house crying and we decided to leave duke outside while Mama finished dishing up dinner. I could hear him crying outside. about ten minutes later I went to go and get him. I don't think I'll ever forget what I saw. He was sitting in the snow, legs stretched out in front of him. wearing Daddy's big floppy gloves because his were too cold with a little snowman in his lap. He looked up at me with a tear stained face and said, I fixed it Mama. I'm sorry. And my heart just cracked. Oh sweet sweet boy. So the elves wanted to make sure they got a picture with that sweet little snowman. It's a special one after all.
