Family Movie Night

We have established a new tradition in the McCurdy household--Family Movie Night. October will be our fifth month to have it, so I think that counts as a tradition. The last Friday night of each month, we let Katelyn choose a movie (parent-approved, of course!), and we pop popcorn and stay up "late" to watch it as a family (at this season of our lives, this means we actually start the movie after Anna goes to bed, but she'll get to participate eventually). I figure if we start traditions like this when the girls are young, they will be accustomed to it and look forward to it as they get older. Katelyn's movie picks so far have been The Tale of Desperaux, Snoopy Come Home, Toy Story 3, and The Lion King. Upcoming selections consist of The Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, and Mary Poppins....looking forward to some fun family memories!
