The remaining days of 2012

The day after Christmas we headed out to cash in on the Build A Bear certificates Grandma Nielsen gave the kids. What a fun, fun, fun adventure. The bears then were treated to several launches off the giant bean bag.   We got to spend one more day with Grandma and Grandpa then we had to send them on their way.  They had to go back to Utah to shovel snow.  After their departure we headed to Genesee to spend sometime with Grandma and Grandpa Kellogg.  We got to do some sledding, go see the bookstore and then we went to this train park in Lewiston that has an amazing light set up.  They had these penguins set up on the grass and Charlie Brown music playing.  Lincoln started copying the penguin dance moves and dancing with each penguin.  So So FUNNY.  I have  a video that I will need to post.  I haven't figured out how to edit it yet though.

Preparing the hearts to be tucked inside.  They got a kick out of this.

Sledding by Grandma's house

Love Josie's face here.  She was picking up a bit of speed even making me nervous watching

Posing for me

These trees are completely covered in lights.  It is fun to wander through them.  We got to spend the whole day with Nicole!

The Charlie Brown Dancing penguins.  The kids are all blurry because they were constantly in motion.  Running between penguins and dancing jigs.  We stood here a good 10 minutes.
