Celebrate the First Snow of the Year
Here in Tennessee we have not had our first snow yet other
than a dusting on the ground which does not count as a
"Snow" to the kids who are eagerly awaiting to play in the
snow.
Sometimes as parents we forget what fun the first snow is or
any snow for that matter.
This year why not celebrate the first snow by having a Snow
Party for your family. This is very easy to put together
simply have some popcorn and hot chocolate or another warm
drink ready to make on these days.
When the children (and You) are finished playing in the
snow come in and make your hot drink and pop the popcorn and
then sit around watching the birds play in the snow and
maybe playing a board game.
If you have already had your first snow you can still put
this plan to work with other snows to come.

Another idea is to keep a snowman kit ready. I can't tell
you the times that we have had a good snow but no carrot for
the snowmans nose!
The following would be useful in a snowman kit along with
what you come up with.
In a bag ( a snowman gift bag would be cute) keep hats that
are no longer used, scarves, big buttons for eyes and mouth,
plastic carrot or use fresh ones if you keep them on hand.
You can use twigs for the arms and pincones would be cute
for a mouth or eyes, the possibilities are endless for
making a snowman. The main thing is just have fun and be
careful.

If you have any family snow or winter traditions I would
love to hear about them.
