AUCTION ITEM SNOW ANGEL PICTURE: Thank you to the parents that were able to take a picture of your child making a snow angel and shared it with me. If you did not get a chance to take the picture not to worry please take a picture of your child wearing their snow gear standing with a sled or holding a shovel as if they are going out to play.
