Emi was all smiles as she ran outside where her mummy had already dug out some of the snow. She was sure she could make an even bigger snowman with the help of her friends. "Oveh heah Jawett!" she called. She tried to get the fluffy snow into a ball like her daddy had shown her before, but it didn't seem to be working. Luckily, Tansy was there, too, and she was a big girl so she could make a snowball even better.
It wasn't that long before her daddy came to help help them. Then at last the snow was starting to look more like a snowman. Emi and Tansy made the snowman's body a little smoother while Jarrett went with Emi's daddy to find some sticks to make the snowman's arms and some other stuff for the face. Emi jumped around--it kept her warmer--while Jarrett made the snowman's arm from a stick they found. Then they had a snowman. Emi and her friends beamed at their work. They did a good job. They played around in the snow for a while, but Emi's toes and fingers were starting to get cold. She was shivering when her mummy came out and asked them if they wanted hot cocoa and cookies. Emi looked to jarrett and Tansy and they all agreed to go back inside. With some hot cocoa and cookies in their bellies, they were much warmer. The grownups were talking about boring stuff, so they sat near the fireplace where it was warm and played with their new toys. Emi got up in the middle of their games and went to her parents. "Can Jarrett and Tansy live wif us?" she asked. She smiled hopefully.
