The Child Inside Us All When It Snows......A Snowman Vignette

Who still gets excited when you see the snow falling outside your window?  Somewhere beneath all the concerns of shoveling, driving and getting to a destination safely when the snow is falling, there is also that bit of excitement and glee that bubbles to the surface and the inner child in us all dances with joy.  Perhaps all of the thrill comes from childhood days of having a snow day from school and having the opportunity to run outside after breakfast to build the biggest snowman in the neighborhood?  Wouldn't hours fly by before you realize your mittens no longer kept your fingers warm and your cheeks and nose were so cold that they no longer had any feeling?  Before returning home, could you stand back and admire the huge balls of snow that turned into smiling works of art?

The best that I can do to help us relive those wonderful memories is to share with you the snowman vignette that nostalgically warms my heart and brings back images of days gone by.  These adorable snowmen plates and covered hot cocoa mugs found by my sweet sister makes for a perfect snack time for children and adults alike.   So come on in from the cold and grab a mug of hot chocolate and some buttery snowball cookies.  This merry snowman snack set is guaranteed to melt away winter blues and renew the youthful spirit in all of us.
