Last year when Frosty melted away, Mom had promised that he would be back again next year. Well today, almost one year to the day (February 24 last year), Frosty made his triumphant return to our backyard. He was missing a few buttons, his eyes, a nose, and mouth (all somewhere in our garage); but thanks to some quick thinking by Mom, a carrot, and a few nuts the problem was solved. Along with Wrigley, we headed into the woods to find some arms. I think we returned with around five sticks, one each for Lily and me, and three for Wrigley. Apparently three wasn't enough for him though, because he managed to snatch one of Frosty's arms when we weren't looking. Thankfully, Mom got it back before too much damage was done. With only a few gnaw marks, Mom stuck it back on, and Frosty was as good as new! This year was fun because we helped out with the rolling and packing of the snow. Mom was so impressed with our snowman making abilities that she surprised us with a tunnel to play in afterwards. Combine Frosty and a tunnel, and it doesn't get much better for these two jolly, happy souls!
