Winter Events!

 Our first trip to the Circus -- both boys loved it!  Especially the part with the motorcycles, of course.

 Think he looks like his daddy?

 How fun was this?  Polar Express in French Lick.  We boarded the train and went on a ride to the "north pole" while the story was read over the speakers.  There were performers on each car dancing and serving hot chocolate and cookies.
 These two hooligans loved it!


 Until we got to the north pole and Santa boarded.  Lincoln and Santa were not BFFs this year.  He was better once Santa moved along to the next car.

 We also built our first gingerbread house this year.  Actually, we just ate the candy.  Very little gingerbread house making really happened...

 Then, on a whim, mom and I took off to Nashville to go to "Shrek on Ice".  We made a stop at the Rainforest Cafe for lunch (FUN!), then onto Ice.
 Not so sure about these roaring tigers....
 So, we didn't really realize that Ice was 9 degrees...  Lincoln was fine, Liam was MISERABLE....  He pretty much cried for the last half...

 But it was super cute!  And watching mom go down the ice slide and knock the little worker over made up for the crying.
 It was warm outside, though!
 Then we had a pretty nice (8 inches!) snow the day after Christmas.  Both of the kids were puny, but they begged to go outside, so we had to take a very short little trip.


 Snow angels!
 Or in Liam's case, Snow devils!!  Ha!  I kid...
 They really only enjoyed it for a few minutes...  Which was probably good since they were sickly anyways.
 But we went back out later that week, and they really enjoyed it then.  Even Liam made some snowballs!
 Takin a cruise around the block in the gator!
And this is how we spent our New Years!!  Couldn't ask for a more fun bunch!  I love these guys...

Looks like a lot of fun! We were going to do the Polar Express in New Haven, but it was filled up before we could even buy tickets! Definitely a must for next year. We also went to Ice, but by the time we got there, they had closed it for the night...stinkin' traffic! Definitely a must for next year (are you seeing a pattern? LOL). I am so jealous that you guys got snow!!! We are in desperate need of a little snow down here! :)
