“Baby, I understand you’re excited about it finally snowing, but can we please at least watch from inside?” I try to reason with you, fog escaping my mouth as I speak due to the frigid temperature. You’re busy setting your phone up and trying find some ‘Snowman’ song to record us dancing to in this absolute blizzard, not even acting like you’re bothered by the cold.

It’s New Year’s Eve and we decided to just stay in for a calm evening together, but your hyper activity absolutely skyrocketed when you looked through the window to see heavy snow falling at a very rapid pace. We haven’t really had any snow yet this season, except for maybe a minor one that didn’t really stick a few weeks ago and melted within 12 hours, so you’re quite happy to say the least.

You insisted on us both coming out to the backyard and rambled about some dancing in the snow trend online, not really giving me a choice in the matter.

“Darling,” I sigh, trying once again to get your attention.
