Wishing Everybody a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Now the Crowds Come

 The later it got the more people were there and we soon went home to celebrate .  All this playing made for one tired Jonathan and he fell asleep not to long after we got home.

Getting Ready to Celebrate

 Downtown Buffalo at the Electric Tower.   They were preparing for the ball drop.  Can't resist getting the Pics of the 2012 sign

Rotary Rink at Fountain Plaza. Both were complaining it was too cold to skate. Then again Andrew didn't zip up his jacket and Buffalo in the winter IS  a bit cold. Well colder than it has been the last couple of years when we have come down here.

Rides and Bounce Houses

 Again with us being early the lines wer short and no problem enjoying everthing

 Train ride

 "Where the Wild Things Are"

 Happy New Year Hats

Jurassic park Bounce House

First Night Buffalo

 Its sponsored by were I work and its a night for the family to enjoy. We went EARLY. It wasn't suppose to open till 5 pm and we were there more around 4:30.  It was great when there was no people there as there was no lines for anything

There were cars there, a favorite of Jonathan's

 And bounce houses

Little Artist

 It has amazed me lately that he's gotten really good at drawing. Now the scribbles look like things...

He drew a face , body and arms on his picture.  I have another one were he drew  eyeballs and a face, neck and a few letters (e and a lower case)

More Pictures from there

Pretty and Playing

 Playing in the sand

They had a train display. One was of Buffalo and the other was Thomas the Tank Engine. Love the buildings they had for Buffalo. Gold Dome bank and Shea's

Botanical Gardens

 A warm place to go when its cold outside

 Still look festive in there.  Admission was free. My kind of price.

Still Snowy outside

Had to crawl back into it today

Little late but HoHO Ho

Making Tunnels

 Andrew thought this was great

Like a little cubbie hole

Relaxing

 

More Snow....more playing in it

Ready to go!

Lots of snow to shovel

We are hiding

Let it Snow, Let it snow, Let it snow

 Around a foot of snow fell overnight.  Lots of fun to shovel.  It was too much for me to do by myself with just a shovel. I was stuck till we got unstuck . The kids enjoyed the snow.

Snuggling with Daddy

He won't notice at all!

 Watching a movie!
