"Mama look, it's snowing again!"
Aya looked up to the cloudy sky above as fluffy snowflakes flittered along the gentle winter's breeze. Her smile widened into a toothy grin that pushed back her chubby flushed cheeks. She took a small step that crunched the snow beneath her boot before she was lifted in the air again, her parents on either side swinging her through the air by her hands.
Haruhi looked across the empty park, surveying the fresh blanket of snow that had fallen the night before. Eight inches of perfect white snow stretched before them for what seemed like miles. Even the barren trees around them held a good inch of snow on their branches.
"Would you like to build a snowman soon?" Haruhi asked, eyeing a nice spot near a far tree that offered two thin sticks perfect for snapping and using as arms.
Hikaru chuckled, "Or we could have a snowball fight."
Aya groaned, "No Daddy, last time you hit Mama in the face."
Haruhi laughed and looked over at Hikaru, snickering at his guilty expression, "He was a little rough last time, wasn't he?"
Hikaru sneered, "I wasn't aiming at your mom, I was hoping to get Kaoru in the face. It's not my fault he ducked."
Aya tugged at her parent's arms, silently asking for another swing. They obliged her, lifting her into the air. She kicked her feet forward and sent a cheerful yelp into the winter sky, to soar with the snowflakes.
