Movie Night

On Saturday night, we had Movie Night. Jeff and I decided that a couple of days a month, we would do Movie Night with our family.
We first had to make sure that we were comfortable. So we brought down lots of blankets and pillows.

Then we had to make sure that we had lots of treats. We had mini bags of popcorn, so that everyone could have their very own. Hunter loved this. We also made chocolate chip cookies, and then added ice cream to them, to make yummy ice cream sandwiches.
Next we had to make sure that the lighting was just right. Everybody had their very own glow bracelet. Each a different color. Hunter had green, Jeff orange, Houston Blue, and mine was pink. We also plugged in a pumpkin for effect.
Houston wasn't too interested in the movie, but he did like moving around in the semi darkness to look at things. Of course the pumpkin was the first thing he went after.
After that, he moved to the side of the entertainment center. He was playing there for quite a while. I couldn't figure out what was grabbing his attention for so long. So I went over there and looked. Low and behold, he was playing with his shadow. He loved it!

The night ended like most movie nights. I was awake with Hunter. Jeff and Houston were fast asleep. I guess it was past their bedtimes.

It was a great night. Something that Hunter talked about for a while. It really didn't take that much effort to plan, but I'm so glad that we did. It really helped to bring our family closer, and made some good memories.
