In the last couple of years I have decided that I love snow!  I've lived in the same state my whole life, and have always enjoyed all four seasons.  I have heard so many people say that they hate the snow and just want winter to be over.  Not me.  Not yet at least.  On facebook today I saw a contest entry where you were asked to comment on your favorite snow memory.  It was easy for me to think of my favorite snow memory. 

I was probably about 12.  My Dad helped me build a huge snow turtle!  It was awesome!  We even colored water green with food coloring and spray 'painted' the turtle.  I would guess that it was probably about 3 feet high in the middle, about 4 feet wide and 5 feet long.  I remember carving the lines into the shell with my fingers and finding two good size rocks for eyes.  I knew without a doubt that day, that my Dad loved me, because he took the time to not only play in the snow with me, but it was his idea to build the snow turtle.

We got snow yesterday, are getting more today and it's supposed to keep snowing for the next 2-3 days.  I've seen the picture below before, but just saw it again and decided that on Saturday, I'm going to make one like this with my kids!  Hopefully they know without a doubt that I love them!
