 Gregory is my brother. He is eight years old and I am ten. We
always look forward to the first big snow of the year. We watch it
out the window and hope we have a snow day from school the next
day. Mom makes hot chocolate for us and we bake cookies. It is
always something special when we have the first snow. Mom likes
to make vegetable soup for us to eat. She says it helps to keep us
warm when we play in the snow. Gregory and I went outside early this morning. We bundled
up so we could stay warm. The first thing we did was to make snow angels. Then, we slid down
the hill on boxes with our neighbors. Finally, we spent the whole afternoon making our first
snowman of the year. He is right out there in our front yard. Mr. Bowman is our neighbor
across the street. He gave us an old black hat for the snowman to wear. Mom gave us a
yellow scarf to put around the snowman’s neck. We used sticks from the yard to make the
arms. Mom gave us coal for the snowman’s eyes and mouth and a carrot for his nose. Mom
always takes our picture with the snowman. Gregory is fun to play with when it snows. He is a
good brother most of the time.
