Every Friday night our family tries to do "movie night." Although it is getting harder the older everyone gets, we still try to make it a tradition to have pizza, treats and a favorite family movie....and sometimes a huge sleepover in the basement. I love that it's a good way to unwind from the week and when everything is dark and still I love to peek around and find everyone cuddled in a homemade quilt, snuggled warm and cozy.
