"Happy" our Giant 8 foot Snowman!

One of our boys buddies, about 4 doors down the street, had a fair sized snowman they built about two snows ago and we didn't like that so, being very competitive, and not to be outdone we built "Happy" after the last snow we had. Happy is 8 feet tall and 14 feet in circumference. We used painted tennis balls for eyes, stones for the nose & buttons, hockey sticks for the arms and my eldest son found an twig for "Happy's" awesome smile! If it snows again we plan on building his sister "Go Lucky" ;).


Oh yeah, one last thing. We built & assembled this all by hand with real snowballs rolled by hand (not piled up with a shovel).


Here is a shot and some video.
