1st Family Movie Night

Last weekend, we had our 1st Family Movie Night! While reading a fellow scrapbooker's blog (Heather), her and her husband always plan the coolest movie nights for thier family and come up with some sort of treat that goes along with the movie for the evening. Since Robert and Tyler are big movie fans, I thought this would be a good way to spend some family time together and create memories that we will remember for years to come.

First up on the movie night agenda: Horton Hears a Who. Tyler received this movie for Christmas, and none of us had seen it. What better time to do some Dr. Suess themed food? So Robert and I whipped up some Green Eggs & Ham and Who-Cakes. Tyler loved the themed food idea so much, that he's been begging to watch Horton again so we can have some more Who-Cakes, LOL!




The sucker on top of the Who-Cakes is the clover that Horton finds the speck with the Who people living on it. I can't take full credit for coming up with the food idea on my own, because IHOP apparently had a menu of Dr. Suess theme food when Horton was in theaters.

Now I have a ton of ideas flowing around in my head for future family movies nights! I can see that this will become a tradition in our family! Probably next on the agenda will be Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
