Is there anything quite like sledding or snowball fights as a kid? There is freshly fallen snow, school was canceled, and you KNOW it's time to go outside. I have fond memories of playing in the snow, and as much as I hate the cold, I find myself bundling up to take my kids out to spend precious quality time together.
