The Great Cavin Famapalooza!

Matthew and I have been wanting to do a family night in our household for quite sometime. We do spend whatever time we have together as a family but he wanted this to be something a little more family "fun" oriented that could begin a tradition. So Saturday night we designated as our first intentional Family Fun Night aka Famapalooza. We decided to make homemade pizza together and then proceed in watching The Lion King. I'm sure we will get more creative with time but Grey was so excited about it all day! Here's how it went...

Starting with the making of the pizza crust, Grey was full steam ahead! He is a ridiculously good helper might I add.
Stir Stir Stir...we sing as we stirPat it out
Beginning to grate the cheese for the top
Well, he is a Cavin.
TOPPINGS!
And again...this pizza was only for us. I'm pretty sure he licked almost every peperoni on the pizza.
I chopped the veggies but didn't get a picture of those going on. (unfortunately NONE of those were tasted) I also missed the picture of the sprinkling of basil and oregano. After Grey and Daddy took a shower, Grey was ready to eat his pizza and watch The Lion King. (I wish you could hear him say it) He wasn't going to sit down before he got to run around in my onion goggles.
Anticipating...
We ate on the living room floor which made it all the more fun!
Ahhh...pizza, bananas and The Lion King. You would have thought we took him to Disney World!
Matthew and I were so excited that Grey enjoyed himself so much. We will definitely be doing this again next month. Who knows what we'll venture into...

  1. We do this almost every weekend either Friday, Saturday or Sunday night. We have been doing it for quite a while now. We fix a "special" food and watch a movie as a family. Christopher and I love it and the kids do too! I think it's so important to show them we can have fun as a family doing something so simple! I am so glad y'all are starting this tradition too!

  2. Hey guys! Found y'all through the Hongs blog congrats on baby #2! I love your family night idea- I am so looking forward to starting this when Lydda Grace is old enough to have a clue what's going on. I found this blog: http://whittakerwoman.typepad.com/ and she has done a ton of super creative, but relatively simple at home family nights. Great place for fun ideas. Hope y'all are well.
