Some Fabulous Winter Fun Ideas!
Sometimes it feels like winter will go on forever and the warm weather will never return! Fear not, spring isn’t TOO far away…and winter days can also be LOTS of fun! Here are some wonderful wintry ideas: 1. Get outside and play! a. Have a snowman making contest. b. Paint in the snow with water and food coloring mixed together in a spray bottle. c. Go sledding! 2. Have a hot chocolate taste test. Make up a regular batch of hot chocolate and then add other stuff – a chunk of white chocolate, a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg, a candy cane – anything that will make it taste a little different. Take a few sips and compare – see if you create a new taste sensation! 3. Play a sport! Hockey is great, and so is ice skating – anything that gets you outside and moving! 4.

The best Christmas present that I have ever gotten would be my cat. Now he wasn't under the tree with a bow, but it was the same thrill of opening up a present. He was sweet to me all the time and loved getting his belly rubbed. I love my cat so much! He is like a stuffed animal, but he walks and purrs, which I love! We almost lost him to another family, but in the end we got my furry, feline friend. That was the best Christmas ever! – Devon The best Christmas present I have ever received is my pink camera. My brothers had just finished opening their presents. Theirs were huge and mine was just this little box. But I had learned from past experiences that big things come in small packages. I started carefully tearing the wrapping paper, but I did not expect much since the person who was giving it to me was my very grouchy uncle who did not like me very … Read more
