Movie Night Traditions
Family Movie Nights are a Friday tradition that we rarely miss. We’ve perfected the art over the years as our family has grown, and now I have the perfect Movie Night recipe for you to enjoy with your family.
Ingredients
- Living room friendly dinner
- Spill-proof cups
- Lots of blankets, pillows and cushions
- Movie everyone can agree on
Directions
Step 1: Choose and prepare dinner menu that is conducive to eating in the living room. It’s not a movie night if you don’t get to eat your dinner while you watch!
Step 2: Be sure to serve your beverages in spill-proof cups! If you have carpet like we do, nothing derails a movie night after than a spill (or 3).
Step 3: Gather all the blankets, pillows and cushions you need to create a cozy nest. Keeping steps 1 & 2 in mind, use some of the blankets for a base layer to catch wayward food & drink. In our house, the adults tend to curl up on the couches while the munchkins snuggle up in their bean bag chairs.
Step 4: This is the hardest step, finding something everyone can agree on. Our 7 year old gravitates to live action movies, while our 3 year old quickly bores of most of them. We try to switch it up between animated and live, occasionally throwing in something the adults really like too! Below is a list of tried and true favourites.
