Dallas/Ft. Worth Area Family Weekend Events Round Up

It seems like weekends over the past few months have been filled to capacity with fun and exciting things to do with our families. This weekend there are fewer events to share as I am sure most of us will be ringing in the New Year in the homes of our friends and family. So, let me just say I wish everyone a Happy New Year and I can’t wait for all the fun and exciting events to share with you in 2012!
