Tangled came out on DVD this Tuesday and I decided to have a fun little movie theater experience for the kids. We invited some neighbor kids and a friend of Kate's over for the movie premiere of Tangled. :)
My Mom did this for us when we were young. We would get money to buy food from the concessions and then watch a movie with our friends. It was a lot of fun so that's why I wanted to do it with the kids. Growing up, we also played restaurant where you got to order your food. We had a big chalkboard that we would write all the food items on and even used a fake register to accept the money. It was fun. Jeni has done this with her kids and now they want it everytime they watch a movie! Great...
I made tickets and ripped off part of their ticket and then gave each girl 25 pennies so they could buy their food. They liked couting out the money and buying their food.
Kate colored the popcorn bags 
The girls in line at the concessions. haha. Kate, Alyssa, Elsa and Dallas
Getting ready for the movie to start (I was surprised Preston joined in and sat through the entire thing! Miracle! The licorice and candy helped.) 
Two of the girls hadn't seen it yet so they were excited to watch it. It was a fun afternoon.
