The snow has come to Belfast!

For those of you who haven't been to our new house in Mount Eagles, we live at the top of hill just outside of West Belfast. It's a mile and a half up the side of the hill to our house. While a graduated incline, it still provides quite a challenge when freezing weather, snow and ice come to town. This year, the snow has debilitated most of the UK and Ireland. Heathrow airport, the busiest international airport in the world, was closed for 2 days because of snow and ice! I missed my Christmas party because of 8 inches of snow :( It's been annoying and dangerous, but Liam has gotten some great enjoyment out of it...
Helping daddy build a snowman...

"Snowman," Liam's first snow creation. Grapes for eyes, carrot nose and clementine segment mouth. Unfortunately Snowman didn't last very long, he was kicked down by some mischievous youths.
RIP Snowman (16 December 2010- 17 December 2010)

Oisin, the snowman sits proudly on a table in the back garden. Liam says hello to Oisin each morning and goodnight before he goes to bed.
