8 years, 8 months.

Dear Holly,

Last Friday, school was cancelled due to the possibility of snow… and it definitely snowed enough to keep the buses from running.

Mommy and I both had to work. Not only were we both too busy to take you and your brother out in the snow, you also didn’t need us to.

That’s because you had plenty of fun following your brother around as he made our family’s snowman.

I truly appreciate the fact that you both were able to take care of yourselves outside in the snow, as Mommy and I watched through the windows as we worked.

This may be hard to understand now, but when you get older, the snow can be more exciting to experience from the comfort of inside your own warm home; as opposed to actually being outside in the snow.

But for now, I want you to enjoy the snow outside!

Love,

Daddy
