Zoë Anastasia: Frozen in Texas

On New Year's Eve, we flew down to Dallas, Texas, for a week of (indoor) fun with Didi & Papa, Uncle Daniel, Gruncles and Aunties and lots of cousins. And it was cold! One morning I remember waking up and seeing the edge of the pond surrounding the fountain in the back frozen solid. Nonetheless, we had a wonderful time playing and lazying around - when we weren't out shopping and getting spoiled. :)

Happy New Year!

Ringing in the New Year with Rebecca

These two girls did the most partying out of all of us.

I don't think anyone made it to midnight!

One of our adventures of the week was to take Zoë and her almost-two-year-old cousin Rebecca to see the Disney movie, "Frozen." It was great and both girls sat through the whole thing (which is pretty impressive)! It helped that it was a dine-in theater and Zoë enjoyed munching on her cheeseburger during the film. She loved the big screen and only got a little anxious when the snowman monster came to life, but she was fine sitting on my lap and we decided he was a nice monster in the end. Haha! :) (Since then, Zoë has spoken of this snowman monster several times, and requests the Frozen soundtrack for dancing music almost daily. :)

Most of the time was spent playing with cousins! Zoë LOVED spending time with Rebecca and on several mornings would wake up saying "Go get Becca! I'll wake her up." :) Zoë also had some fun playtime with Hallie, Brady and Andie at their home. Hooray for cousins!
