Elf

 

Last night we had a night to remember!

When Lexi heard that we could rent a movie theater and choose what movie we wanted to watch we jumped right on it. Zack's girlfriend, Nicole, her family has an RV that they so graciously allow Nicole and Zack to use. So we thought why not take that so we can all ride together?! And it was so much fun!! 

I think it needs to be said with everything going on here. We were all very very safe. Our "covid bubble" consists of our extended family. Since March besides 2 dinners with friends we have only seen family. So while yes, our extended family does not live under our roof we know they are all taking covid and all necessary precautions seriously and therefore we feel comfortable seeing them. With everything going on my kids worlds have been turned upside down. I don't think we talk enough about how much the world today is affecting our kids. Poor Kamryn is having a really hard time and it just breaks my heart. We all needed this night! It was so nice to do something out of the ordinary, safe and fun for them!

Okay! On to last night....

Nicole decorated the RV like the Polar Express, made tickets for the kids AND dressed up like an elf. It was ADORABLE! I didn't get any pictures of Nicole in her elf outfit but trust me, it was so cute!! The kids were so excited!

We brought pizza on the RV and made the trip up to Braintree and had our own private viewing of Elf!

The kids wore their Christmas jammies, the guys ugly Christmas sweaters and us girls all had festive sweatshirts and socks!

I had my braces put on in the morning and we did this that night. 

Yes, I was sore. Yes, no popcorn for me. But it was such a great distraction!

Here I am in all my braces glory!! 

Smith blew me away! Only 12 months old and sat and watched Elf like he has seen a million movies before. He's the best!!

Such a great way to kick off the Christmas season!
