YOU MIGHT BE A SOUTHERN SNOWMAN IF.....

My oldest son Rick and his wife Jen live with their 2 girls, Maris and Sophie, in Salisbury, North Carolina, just outside of Charlotte. It's rare that this area gets snow, but the night before last, snow it did ! and Maris took advantage of it to build her first snowman with daddy.......

Pretty handsome dude, is he not? I learned a few new things about snowmen from the south.....

They have celery stalks for noses instead of carrots!! And blueberries for eyes and mouth!

They have big gold buttons (or are those Reece's little peanut butter cups?) and no arms!! And of course, they wear NASCAR-related baseball caps (this one sports a Toyota Camry hat, which maw-maw is especially partial to). But most off all, THIS one has the cutest little 4 year old girl on earth giving him a hug and a kiss. What snowman could ask for anything more??

They also have daddys at the ready with replacement eyes or lips, as the case may be.

Southern snowmen may have short lives, but they're good ones while they last!
