Ava’s First Movie

  

Ava has seen the trailer for the new Disney movie Tangled on TV several times and she started asking her Daddy and myself to take her to see it. Every time it would come on she would ask us. We decided to take her the Sunday after Thanksgiving. We didn’t watch it in 3D since I wasn’t sure she would keep the glasses on and since it was her first movie ever I thought it best not to chance it. Plus, $3.00 extra for 3D….you’re crazy!!

Ava’s Gigi, Aunt RoRo and Meggie all came with us…Ava always has an entourage..haha!

 

Since I knew we were planning on taking her, I bought her the Rapunzel doll at the Disney store on Black Friday. You can’t really find any of the Tangled merchandise on sale since it’s brand new, but I was able to get 20% off on Friday, so we wrapped the doll and let her open it before we left for the movie. She thought it was so neat!

I honestly didn’t expect her to sit through the entire movie, well, not awake at least, but she did and absolutely loved it. She also had the full movie theater experience complete with popcorn, nachos, and m&m’s. The movie was so cute, Adam even enjoyed it :) Although I wasn’t crazy with how long the previews played (30 mins) or their choice of previews, just because some of them weren’t ones that I wanted Ava to see- I was worried she would have nightmares after seeing a few of them. They weren’t anything rated higher than PG, but a couple of them on the big screen with 2 year old weren’t very comforting….other than that- Ava had a blast. She laughed a lot during the movie and never got antsy or wanted to get up and run around. We did have to make a potty break once during the movie (both of us-haha!). I’m excited to take her to another one, especially since I can count on one hand the number of times Adam and I have been to see a movie since being married.
