Prompt: A snowball fight. Some more cheesy family moments.

"Oh shit!" Lee called out as he ducked his head down to avoid the multiple snowballs flying his way. He had no idea how his wife, Carley, was throwing so many of them at him, but she was.
"Swear!" Clementine reminded Lee as she also ducked down. She was mostly playing on his side right now, but sometimes she would run over to Carley's side and help her out. He could tell that she was having a ton of fun.
"Sorry honey. How're we doing with the snow balls?" Lee asked, looking over at her. He had tasked his daughter with the job of making snowballs, because she was very fast at it, even more so than him. Plus, she was just dying to help out.
"Good. Good." Clementine said, sounding like she was a professional. Lee chuckled and smiled down at her.
"Here, gimme one." Lee said frantically, as a snowball came flying by, almost hitting his face. He didn't even know why Carley had wanted a snowball fight in the first place. But that's what she had suggested when she had seen all of the snow outside, and he just couldn't turn her down. And once Clementine had heard the idea, she nearly flew upstairs to get her coat and all of her other winter wear.
Lee wasn't going to complain about this though. Fun family moments like this were very rare. Between Lee's teaching and Carley's reporting, there was hardly even enough time to eat dinner in their house as a family.
"Throw 'em at her!" Lee called out.
Clementine picked up a few snowballs and began to throw them Carley's way. Carley threw them right back.
After a few minutes, the snowballs stopped coming from Carley's way.
"What the..." Lee said, just as a snowball hit him from behind. He whipped around to see Carley, with a huge smirk on her face.
"Found your 'hiding place'." She said, making Lee feel like a little kid again.
"Go away, mommy!" Clementine said, throwing a snowball straight at her mother's face.
Carley jumped back, wiping the snow from her face. "Oh, you're gonna get it!" She joked, slipping away.
"Let's show her who's really gonna get it." Lee joked. Clementine nodded and began to throw snowballs at lightning speed. Lee joined in, too.
Carley began to retaliate, throwing snowballs just as fast as they were.
Lee and Clementine laughed the entire time.
"This is awesome." Clementine stated, smiling up at her father.
"It is sweet pea." He smiled back at her.

Back inside, Lee sat in between his wife and his daughter, sipping hot cocoa and thinking about how life couldn't get much more perfect than this. Nobody had ended up actually "winning" the snowball fight, but once they had gotten too tired and too freezing they had retreated back inside.
We should have snowball fights more often, Lee thought to himself, smiling.
