Hello, my name is Jinny. I want to tell you all about my winter story. In the wintertime, we can do a lot of fun things like skiing, making Christmas tree ornaments, or have a snow fight. I like all those things, but my favorite thing is playing with the snow. I especially like making a snowman. Last winter it snowed, so I put on all my warm snow attire including my gloves, hat, coat, and my snow boots to go play with the snow.

I went outside and tried to make a snowman. Making a snowman looked easy to me, however, it was more difficult than I thought, but I didn't give up. I started to roll a small snowball. I rolled and rolled it, but the snowball didn't become bigger as I had seen in a cartoon. I had a little help from my parents to get started. Then the snowball became bigger and bigger. I then made two big snowballs the same way but in different sizes. Next, I put them all together. It really looked like a snowman. Finally, I put some stones as eyes, a carrot for the nose, and a hat on top of his head. I was proud of my snowman and how it looked. I was so excited to show others. The only bad part was that I was now so cold and so tired. I went into my house to warm up and drink some hot chocolate and take a nice warm rest. After my rest, I wanted to play some more in the snow, but I was still so worn out, so I decided to play inside the next day. I hope you enjoyed my winter day story.
