The day was beckoning me to get up
and look out of the window
at the new fallen snow.

My eyes got wide and I screamed
in delight as I got dressed
and put my snowsuit on.

I ran outside, and made my
first snow angel of the year
while laughing and giggling.

I ran to get my friend so we
could make a snowman
with eyes of coal.

We stood there and looked
that maybe he could be
Frosty standing in the cold.

Then we started getting silly
as we began a snowball fight
laughing and giggling with delight.

After I had my lunch, I took the
sled outside, and my friend and
I slid down the hill by my house.

So when the snow falls,
how much fun can you have
in the new fallen snow?
