What do we do on a snowy day?

So the snow is finally starting to come, now what do we do? It's not so easy to take walks down to our local Walgreens anymore. (Jonas and I have gone there many a times just for a place to go, funny huh!)
We also can't go across the street to our favorite picnic spot, unless someone wants to build us a sweet igloo complete with outlets and a toasty fireplace.
Instead I guess we will stare out the window and watch the snow covering our swing set. Read some of our favorite books.
Stand up and look at ourselves in mirrors, while making animal sounds. Say cheese and moo!
Do our best Elvis impersonations. Ah thank you, thank you very much!

Maybe just snuggle next to Daddy and watch some of our favorite movies.
There are lots more things that we can do. I can't deny that sometimes I feel like I am a prisoner, but then I take one step out the door and BRRR! it's too cold to get out anyway.

Now a little off subject, a bit more on the serious side, and already teary eyed as I begin to write my next thoughts. After coming home from my parents tonight, we received a knock on the door. Of course I make Whit go get it, but waiting to help if it was some scary person. It was kind of late and I don't know why my mind always thinks the worst. Anyway, I overheard them talking and Whit saying "Thank you" and then asking this person if they lived in the neighborhood or in our ward. The gentleman replied by saying, "No, you don't know who I am, just know that there are people who are thinking about you" and then left. He'd given Whit a little package and inside was a check.
I cry because this has not been the first check, cash, gift, dinner, or prayer that has been given to us. It's hard to receive these because I don't know how to sufficiently express my gratitude. So all I can say is Thank You and I Love You!

We don't mind at all! I think Dakin and Jonas should get together to play. It is too bad we don't live closer! Did you guys get to take him to the Temple Square lights? I bet it's too cold there, huh?
