Family Movie Night

Tonight we had our first ever Family Movie Night. Lehr had the great idea of popping up some plain popcorn and watching a movie after the kids' baths, as a special treat. He proposed this to Eli during dinner and the kid could not finish his food fast enough. We told him we had to wait until it was dark, but he wanted to skip dinner, skip playing and get into his PJ's right away so we could start the 'moo-nie' and popcorn. (Keep in mind, he's never had popcorn before, so I'm not sure why he was so excited!)

We chose Monsters, Inc. and Eli loved it. He (and Maddux) were in a complete tv-trance during the entire 30 minutes we watched before bedtime. And Eli's hand never left the popcorn bowl; he has found a new favorite food!

We had out first big movie outing the other night. While visiting my parents they took us to all see Alvin and the Chipmunks. Ryan and Pace also loved the movie but more so the popcorn. Neither of their hands left the bags. My dad even had to go back for a refill!
