we have a tradition in our family that we go to the
cinema on Christmas Eve together....
we have been doing this since the children were quite young
and it's something we really look forward to.....
choosing the movie is a serious business in this house
as we have to all agree.....
the last two years we have been to see the Hobbit movies and
we knew that we were going to opt for the third movie this year....
the problem was that the release date for the Hobbit movie in
Oz was Boxing day....... seriously??
after a bit of a chat together we decided that we would have to
postpone our Christmas eve ritual for a few days
and so on December 27th we made a date, pre-booked our tickets,
filled my bag with goodies to eat and drink and made our way to
the super-screen at the local cinema to watch this.....
here is our slightly-dark-but-excited-to-be-finally-seeing-the-hobbit selfie.....
and just so that we felt completely indulgent this Christmas season,
three days later we went to the Moonlight Cinema in King's Park
to see an advance screening of The Imitation Game.....
this was our first trip to an outdoor cinema and we took our
picnic rug, insect repellent and lots of snacks.....
it was a fab movie and although Evie was not particularly looking
forward to seeing it she actually came away having really enjoyed it.....
here's a little screen shot from the beginning of the movie.....
it actually makes the screen look rather small, but it was actually HUGE.....
it was lovely to be under the sky watching this movie.....
looking up I could see the moon and stars and the trees
swaying gently in the breeze that we had that evening.....
it was definitely an evening to remember.....
