We have a family tradition at our house. It started when Nick, Abby (our only child at the time), and I flew to Arizona to check out the possibilities of Nick attending the school there to get his PhD. While we were there, we visited my cousin, Rob, and his family. It was a Sunday night and after we ate dinner together, they set their kids up with the Disney movie that came on TV each Sunday at the time. So, when our kids got old enough, we decided to do something similar. So, now, every Sunday night we have what we call "Sunday Movie Night" at our house. Sometimes we rent a movie on Saturday night to watch, sometimes we watch one we like that we already have, sometimes Nick and I share movies we liked growing up, and sometimes we watch ones we record when they come on TV (thank-you DVR). It has been a lot of fun. The kids are always anxious to see what Nick and I choose for Sunday Movie Night. We even have a tradition within a tradition that starts in November - each week a new Christmas movie - until Christmas!
So, each Sunday night we all gather round the TV and watch a fun movie together. Sometimes it is accompanied by a treat, sometimes not. But, no matter what, it is a lot of fun together.
Last week, the kids were so into the movie - I think we watched Monsters vs Aliens - we had to take some pictures!

Sounds like a fun tradition! I love the pictures, the kids are completely into it. Ha!
That's so fun. Ours has been Friday movie nights. It started when we moved here to Oregon. Our kids were missing their friends and so every Friday we would invite some friends over for them to watch a movie with. It has evolved into just our family (which I like) and we try to always make popcorn and have candy. I love it!!
How fun! We do that too sometimes, the kids love it.
