Every significant snowfall deserves a good play in it. Wait? What, Emma? You don't want to play in it? Well, let's get our snow gear on, and just see if you like it. We can come right back in if you don't. I promise. 
Remember how she HATES sand on the beach. Remember last year when she rejected the snow. Even mounds of bubblebath bubbles around her in the bathtub creep her out. Well, this is a new year... Just at the garage line, nervous laughter. Tentative steps.
Getting braver. In too deep to turn back now.
Having mom's reassuring legs close by (to hide from wayward snowballs) helps.
And watching a brave (and seemingly unharmed by the snow) bigger brother boosts confidence.
Oh my goodness! You can lay down in it and NOT die? Wow!(We may be partially over the fear! Yeah for snow days!)
YEAHHHHHH for snow days! We need at least one more to make sure this wasn't a fluke!
