It was a snowy day on November 26th. The snow fell all day, so Mom had to shovel the driveway while she dressed us in hats, mittens, scarves and jackets. After the snow stopped, my sister and I went outside to make a snowman, snow angels, and throw snowballs. When the snow started again, we went back inside. We finished the day by drinking hot chocolate together.
