Just as they finished, Mama and Papa joined them outside.

"I think it's time for a snowball fight." Papa declared. They all started making
snowballs and pelting each other, as they ran around the yard. Soon, in spite of
the cold, they were sweating and panting.

Mama sat down on the snow to rest. Then she had an idea. "Hey Tania, do you
know what snow angels are?"

"Yes Mama. I saw someone make them in a cartoon. Can we make them?"

"Sure, lets do that. Great idea!" Papa joined them.

They lay flat on their backs in the snow and started flapping their arms and legs
to push away the snow and make snow angels. Sonia thought it was a hilarious
activity, and soon she started rolling around in the soft snow.

After a while, the family trudged back home, but as soon as they stepped in to
the house, the power went out. Mama boiled water in a large pot on the stove
top, and Papa carried it to the upstairs bathroom, so Tania and Sonia could have
a hot bath. Mama and Papa had hot baths too.
