Advent Calendar: Make popcorn & watch a movie

Remember how I mentioned yesterday that opening box #6 was tied to box #7? Well, it's because I didn't have any children's DVD's for you to watch. That's why I wanted you to open Auntie Jane/Vancouver grandparents' gift because I knew they got you some movies as part of their gift. You love movies and you love popcorn so I knew this was something that I wanted you to do as an activity. 

So excited to open box #7.

You're being very gentle because last time you were so rough that you almost broke the box.

Since you watched A Charlie Brown Christmas yesterday we decided to watch
How the Grinch Stole Christmas today.

I had a box of popcorn that I had bought last week just for today. I also had these cute
popcorn containers that I bought at a craft store a while back, but never got a chance to use
them. Well, this was a perfect chance!

You just looooooooved the popcorn. You ate almost the whole bag!

Aidan: Munch, munch, munch.

You're a mean one, Mr Grinch…
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
And as charming as an eel,
Mr Grinch!…

What really got me was when you turned to me and said, "Mommy, thanks for the popcorn and
the movie." That just made my day.
