When Frozen premiered in November 2013, our family was blissfully unaware. Oh sure, we knew there were millions of little girls worldwide who used Anna and Elsa to embrace their inner divas. But our little girl, an only child, was only 1 year old. The Frozen phenomenon had passed over our household. There were no howling winds swirling inside our walls.
