Dinner and a movie

Jeff had the brilliant idea to start from the beginning and watch all of the Best Picture winning movies from the oscars. We decided very quickly however, after looking at the list we would start with Gone With the Wind and work our way down the list one movie, one week at a time. I love that we have already started our first tradition as our little family. So fun, and what a great way to be able to plan on spending time with my sweet guy! It really doesn't get any better than cuddling up with him and watching a movie.



We decided to start our little tradition tonight and made a quick stop at the Hamden City Library where we picked up the first two movies on our list... GWtW and Casablanca. We both had the same reaction when we realized there was four discs in the GWtW case.. oh boy! We had no idea what to expect, but I assure you it wasn't what we got! ha Jeff started the movie while I started dinner. I made a delicious and very garlicly potent dish of roasted tomato and asparagus pasta with shrimp. Mmm.. it was delicious but like I said.. potent. (why garlic must you be so delicious and so awful at the same time?)



Isn't his new haircut so handsome?! Can't get enough of him...

Anyway, we had dinner and a visitor and had barely made it to disc 2. We started disc 2 and were happy to find out that 3 and 4 were actually only bonus footage. Phew! It was still made for a looong night. Nice and relaxing but long. I think are both in agreement that while we were glad we had finally sat down and watched GWtW it is definitely a once in a lifetime kind of show. What a great way to spend an evening though. Dinner, movie, handsome guy :) like I said, it really doesn't get much better than that.

Tomorrow night: Casablanca!
