Theme Thursday: Winter Wonderland

Last Thursday was the first time in my entire story time career that there was snow on the ground. Not a lot, but about half an inch. So of course I busted out all my winter favorites. The weather was a mixed bag though since we had one of our smallest story time crowds ever.
