The Princess and the Frog

Justin and I took Addie to her very first movie in the theater on Friday night. Justin took off work early, we left Arabella with Yaya for the evening and the three of us had a nice little date. All morning Addie couldn't stop jabbering away to her friends and teachers about the upcoming movie experience she was going to have. She was so excited. I tried to prep her about the theater so she wouldn't be scared by how big and dark it was. We got to the mall super early to grab dinner. Two great things about movies in the Philippines are the cheap tickets ($4 a ticket) and you can bring any food you want in the theater. Addie had her first McDonald's cheese burger and fries (and loved it) while Justin and I got Tauqia Maria burritos. The movie was a hit. The animation was phenomenal and the story was sweet. Adelaide loved it, she asked plenty of questions (mostly why?) but the scary parts didn't seem to bother her. We loved watching her get into the story and laugh at parts she thought were funny. The music was wonderful too. Disney should make more animated films. They are such a nice change to all the computer animation these days. Addie's favorite character was Tiana and Justin and I liked the firefly Ray! At the beginning of the show we saw a preview for Toy Story 3, Addie is already planning our next movie date to see Buzz and Woodie in the theater.

Her first movie!! How exciting for Addie! I'm just wondering why you didn't let her wear her Princess and the Frog gown?? I'm glad you all had a fun time.

Looks like the movie gene has been passed to yet another generation... What a lovely date night.
