Each year, Kaitlyn Fisher, 7, waits for Frosty to reappear with every snowstorm. Kaitlyn discovered Frosty in one of our big snow piles December 29. She just had to dig him out until she found him...and once he was properly attired, he came back to life.

Megan was a good girl this year, so she didn't have any coal handy to use for the eyes and buttons during construction of her snowman family. However, Santa did bring plenty of Hershey's Kisses and Reese's Mini PB Cups that worked just as well. Not Pictured: A tree in the front yard was injured during the snowman-making process...
