Finally! The start of the holiday vacation had arrived. It wasn't a vacation in our normal sense where we jet set off somewhere. This time, it was a staycation with no big plans. Mommy had twelve days off of work between holidays and vacation. The boys were going to follow suite and take those as stay home days as well. The primary goal was to spend time together and have fun, whether it was going out and about or snuggling at home. The first order of business for Day 1 was to go and see the movie Frozen. All four of us had been wanting to see the movie since Thanksgiving and we finally found a moment to make it happen.
Disclaimer: The thing about the 12 days of Christmas and New Years is that I didn't always have my camera with me, but I always had my iPhone. Hence, the reason for the less than optimal quality of photos.
Kellan was SO intrigued with the Walking with Dinosaurs movie setup.
He loved it so much that he asked for multiple photos in front of the moving eye.
This ma be as close as he gets to the movie for a few years. We are quite convinced that it will be a bit much for his three-year-old self, but his brother and Daddy may sneak out for a movie date to see it.
On our way to our show, Frozen, we saw something fantastic and wonderful. Something so great that it reminded of of our #1 Favorite RIO for Cousin RIO!!! What did we do? We took a picture and sent it to Rio to tell him that we were thinking of him.
The movie was GREAT!! As we had heard from others, it did not disappoint and we were all very entertained. We could have used a bit more of Olaf, the talking snowman. That guy was a hoot!
After the movie, Daddy had some Christmas shopping to do for Mommy. So we walked next door to the mall where he and Oliver took off in search of something special. Meanwhile, Kellan was in search of something special; M&M's.
As Kellan and I walked passed the carousel with really nowhere to be, we opted to pay the $2 for a 2 minute ride. What a great time we each had!
Kellan loved his Mommy and Me time, especially since it came with special treats like carousel rides in the mall.
We had a fantastic day as well as completed some final Christmas shopping. Day one of the Twelve Days of Christmas was a big hit! We were so excited for the following eleven days that were to include playing, sleeping in, movies, special outings, skiing, play dates, dinners and ... oh ya... Christmas and New Years!
