"Can Allie come with us?" Leo asks as he struggles to zip up his puffy jacket with his mittens already on. "I think it's too cold for her," William answers as he crouches down and zips it up for him. "I think now she can," Trevor says as he walks into the room holding a sweater clad Alpine. Leo gasps, running over and taking her into his arms. "Allie's gotta lil' sweater like mine! Kitty sweater!" Leo giggles, holding her close in a hug. William laughs softly, "Come on, let's go," he smiles as he picks up his camera. Trevor opens the back door and holds it open, Leo running out with Alpine still cuddled in his arms; followed closely by William. Trevor closes the door behind them and watches Leo struggle to walk through the snow. "There's so much cold!" Leo laughs, referring to the snow blanketing their backyard. "Here let me take Alpine," Trevor offers, Leo nods and hands her over. Alpine gently claws at Trevor's hoodie. Feeling her slight shiver he lifts up his hoodie and lets her climb inside. Alpine pokes her head out of the top and rests it there as Trevor supports her. "Alpine!" Leo giggles as he looks over to them. "It's Leo's first time in the snow, we gotta take a family photo!" William says excitedly with a wide smile. "Photo! Photo!" Leo agrees as he plops down in the snow. William laughs and sits next to him, Trevor crouching down on the other side of him. William pulls out his phone and takes a few pictures, then a few with them doing funny poses and faces. "I love the snow! Can we have it again next year?" Leo asks hopefully. "Yep, it comes this time every year," William answers as Leo gathers some snow and pats it into a ball. "That's too cool! Show me how to make the snowman!" Leo gasps, remembering the pictures in his books. "I'll take Alpine so the master can teach you," William chuckles as he helps take out Alpine from Trevor's sweater and lets her crawl under his own. "Come on dad, let's do it!" Leo says loudly as he scoops snow towards him. "Alright, let me show you how it's done," Trevor says confidently.
