Zara's first movie! + some more Christmas pages

This has been the most relaxing Christmas. We stayed home in Washington. It was just the four of us. Even though we all got sick (at various times), we enjoyed a very low-key, lazy Christmas.

Today we went to see The Princess and the Frog. I was reluctant because I didn't want to be "one of THOSE people" who bring their crying baby to a movie. But Jamie convinced me that it would be okay because it was a kids movie after all. It wasn't like we were taking a 6-month-old to the latest blockbuster.

Zara had just woken from a nap and was happy. She was dressed warmly. So we headed out for a 12:50 showing. When we got there I half expected the ticket taker to say "no babies allowed" but he just asked how old Zara was and told us that she was free. We picked the last row, right on the aisle. Zara stayed in her carseat for about the first 15 minutes, then fussed a little. So I nursed her. She was more distracted by the Exit sign behind us than the loud music and moving pictures in front of us. So although I was not totally engrossed in the film, it went better than expected. She even fell asleep towards the end. But Jamie and Sofi DID hog the popcorn.

Afterwards we walked to our favorite pizzeria (we almost always order delivery) for a "linner" It was around 3 PM but we had not eaten aside from the popcorn. Good thing I nursed Zara during the movie. She was pretty content throughout dinner.

I've been busy scrapping more Christmas pages. Thanks to those templates I got the other day. Plus I found the most beautiful Christmas kit by Creashens called Wondrous. I am a big fan of her digi pages and she takes the most adorable photos of her daughter.

Here are my first two pages using the kit.



I think I will definitely have to make a bound book of my Christmas pages when I'm done!
