Establishing a Family Tradition

Since we had Makenna Justin and I have often discussed traditions we want to have for our family.  I am very much about family traditions, so this is something that we have both decided is going to be an important aspect for our family.  Sure we definitely have our traditions during holidays, but possibly my favorite tradition we have established so far for our young family is movie night.  At least once a month we try to have an evening we let Makenna--and someday it will have to involve both children--pick at a movie.  Sometimes we all gather in our bed and watch the movie and other times Justin grabs a pizza on his way home from work for dinner and then we immediately follow it with a movie, popcorn, and soda.  Tonight was our pizza, popcorn, and movie night and we have all been excited for it all week.  Unfortunately, Beckham hit the sack before the movie began because he didn't have an afternoon nap, but we are definitely looking forward to him being old enough to join in on the fun.  Tonight's movie of choice was actually on TV...

We absolutely love Good Luck Charlie and the Christmas movie was definitely worth watching.  It is one show that we can watch with Makenna that is a good family show so when we learned that tonight the Christmas movie was going to air we mark the date on the calendar as a family movie night.  If you haven't checked out the show I would highly recommend it.  The actress that plays the mom is honestly one of the funniest I have seen.
