Randy and Ralphie in the snow

All we needed for a lot of fun in the snow was for Daddy to be home! While everyone was worrying about roads, we went out and the boys began construction on a fort made using a big pot to form blocks. It really brought back memories of playing in the front yard in the snow while my dad shoveled the sidewalks. When we got older, I remember my brother and his friends pushing cars out of the spots they were stuck in. Or the time it snowed so much church was canceled. But best of all, I liked being outside in the evening listening to the quiet air and other kids laughing while they created things out of the snow. There's something magical about playing in the snow when it's dark and Christmas is on the way...
