Wintery Fun

Here in B.S. (hee hee) we have been trying to participate in the big events. And so far there have been quite a few- and they have been lots of fun!
        One activity we went to was for toddlers only. We played in a rice table, with blocks, with trains, with doll houses, had snacks, saw Santa (which J did not like at all) and the most fun of all: a big pile of shredded paper!

We also recently went to a Christmas festival downtown. Each store had treats and an activity, the library had crafts, there was a live manger seen (J loved that he wanted to pet the animals about three times), a tractor ride, (also a favorite with our kiddos) and ice sculptures. There was live music and caroling and even horse drawn carriage rides-which we did not get to do. These pics are pretty bad, but my kids met a polar bear and gave him a high five.

Aren't these the cutest Eskimos you have ever seen?:

It was really fun to watch the guys making the ice sculptures. It is hard to see here, but the details on the sculptures was amazing! We are going to an ice sculpture festival in a neighboring town in Jan. I can't wait!
