In the car on our way home to our date we began discussing ways to make our movie watching tradition even more spectacular. It didn't take very long before the two of us were brimming over with excitement about our new additions to tradition.
Anyone remember building forts as a kid? I am quite positive that if you had any resemblance of a happy childhood you have built a living room fort. I personally remember building quite a few. Most of them were with my little brother. Me and my brother loved building forts out of dining room chairs, sheets, and lots of pillows! We spent forever laughing and arguing in those forts and I have so many happy memories from such a simple/messy activity!
To my surprise George had tons of experience, memories, and enthusiasm about building forts! It made my little kid heart skip two beats when his eyes lit up with the mention of building a fort. He told me the very best way to construct one and his child like excitement revealed to me just how excited I am to spend the rest of my life making memories with him.
After constructing our movie watching structure, we made some absolutely delicious hot chocolate, climbed in and hit play! Unfortunately for George the image of watching Buddy the Elf trying maneuver his way around in an elf size house was quite similar to watching my tall husband try to fit in a very short fort. :)
Throughout the movie we were surprised that we still found ourselves laughing at certain parts even though we have both seen Elf almost 12 times. This definitely confirms that Elf will always be a part of our Christmas tradition because it seriously never gets old! We cuddled all through the movie and talked about how we can't wait to build forts and watch Elf with our kids someday. We laid there in that fort long after the movie was over laughing and savoring every last drop of this one fantastic Christmas memory.
I loved FORTifying memories with my handsome husband, and I can't wait till next year to make some more!
