Success!

I planned a family movie night and invited about 50 friends, relatives and neighbors and it turned out GREAT! We actually had about 40 people come and I think everyone really enjoyed it.

Here is the invitation I sent out:

We set up in the very back yard by hanging a piece of drywall on the back fence.

We used my parents projector (thanks, Aunt Bon for a great Christmas present!)
Here is a picture of the movie projected on it:

Aunt Tracy and Deb brought TONS of popcorn and cute little bags for it to go in:
Seriously- I mean a TON of popcorn. There were 2 bags this size! And it was delicious!
Love the popcorn bags!
Crystal showed up with glow bracelets for all the kids. They LOVED them! That was really a great touch! I should have thought about that! Maybe she needs a blog! :)

I made a movie poster and hung it on the front door just for fun:

Here is a "during" shot, but it is just the kids in one section. Most of the adults were behind the camera and there were more people to the right. So it was a good turn out! Hard to get good pictures in the dark though!

I wish I could post all the pictures of the kids playing and watching the movie. It was a great time- I'm so glad we did it. I think we'll start planning our next one! :)
