Sometimes it's the simple moments that make our day. A walk in the snow or a ride on a sleigh, a heartfelt hug or an afternoon cuddle can define the day. For this edition of TODAY's Life Illustrated, we picked out some of our favorite photo submissions of passing moments of fun--with relatives, with a fishing rod, with a penguin!
