Siblings (from the left) Jacob Mountford, Kate Flitcroft and Cole Flitcroft, and the family’s dog, Max, stand in front of the giant snowman they built April 15 in front of their home in Sugar Creek, outside of Elkhorn. The project, which was Kate’s idea according to their mom, took three hours to complete using a very tall ladder. The large tree branches used as arms and the hoisting of the head by a mini-track-ho were done with help from their grandfather, David Nettesheim.
