Texas Trip Part I

With two sets of relatives now living in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, we had no excuse not to make a trip. And being early December, what a better time to escape the cold Minnesota winter. Or so we thought.

The first two nights we stayed with Steve's cousin Brett and his wife Kari, and Steve's Godson Ethan. Mallory (and Mom) got a kick out of all the new toys that Ethan shared with the gang.

Ethan's firetruck quickly turned into a clown car. People just kept coming and coming...

It was on to the annual Grapevine Christmas Parade (think Hollidazzle). Unfortunately we got more than we bargained for with temperatures in the 30s, so Mallory had to borrow Ethan's old snowsuit. Somehow she kept her hands warm enough to eat that cookie.

Stocking hats and hot chocolate, not exactly what Steve had in mind for Texas in December.
