Movie Party

Marcela asked to look at the blog the other day. And then she reprimanded me for not having posted anything since last November. I've been going back and forth in my mind and heart as to what I want to do with blogging. I still want to write about my family and the girls and the things I think and feel as I see them grow so quickly. I just fell out of the habit and getting back in seems so hard. We'll see how I do this go around. Perhaps the fact that we're already more than half-way through the year and I still have NOTHING to add to my 2015 book will be a motivator. 

Marcela told me that my first post could be some pictures of her movie party she had on Friday. So this is where we'll start back up after such a long draught. Marcela continues to love paper, creating, and pretending. That might be an understatement. She had been eyeing a new Disney movie called Descendents that she wanted to see since May. We spent most of June/July traveling and she wanted to see some friends, so I suggested she invite some of them over for a little movie party. That was all it took. Before I knew it, there were signs posted at the front door welcoming her guests, pamphlets with a floor-plan map showing the girls how to get to the basement "theatre" and where to find snacks, individually made and (tape) laminated tickets, oh and we can't forget the seating chart so that they could claim their seats as they paid for their tickets with the bills she made for them. She had name tags made for she and Ceci that said, "Ask me for tickets." 

Marcela helps her first "customer" find a seat on the seating chart. 

We made some different flavored popcorn and she named them according to the main characters of the movie.

Descendants fans!

After the movie, they jumped on the trampoline until it was time to say goodbye. 

It was fun to watch how excited Marcela got to put this together and spend some time with her friends.
