What do I do with my 2 yearling tortoises this winter? Bring them in? Let the sleep? Keep them awake? They're really tiney. I'm just not sure how to keep them awake for the winter. Any thoughts?

I don't allow my young 'uns to hibernate until they're three years old. All you have to do is set up an indoor habitat, large enough for the two of the, with lights/heat, feeding station, hiding places, waterer, etc. Place it in a spot that doesn't get much traffic, but where you can keep them warm.
