Hugs.

It was freezing. The jackets didn't seem to keep the bitter cold from seeping in.

It was snowing. The first bits of snow were falling from the sky, which made us feeling even colder.

My little buddy was grumpy. He couldn't handle the cold (neither could I, but I faked it), and couldn't stop crying. Poor guy.

But.

Daddy's family hugs make it all worth it.
