Tangled.

My heart was swelling with pride when I heard Dan come home from work this morning and tell me how much he wanted to go see the new Disney movie, "Tangled" today on its release date. My husband= Disney aficionado like myself= job well done on my part (not to mention his Disney daughters who have had the love for Disney ingrained in their being since before they were even born!).

Anyway.. flash forward to about 2 1/2 hours ago.

My girlies came to visit me at work today, and on our way home we all kept saying how much we wanted to go see the new Rapunzel movie. My little bit of spending money came in handy tonight, and I decided to splurge.

I had to literally stand back from the ticket guy for a second when we realized we'd have to pay the 3D price for the movie (only showings in 3D). The adult ticket prices are $12.75 for crying out loud! The guy must have thought I was a nut job while I whispered to Dan, "maybe we should just get them Christmas presents with this money instead." But, then we looked down at all 3 of their little faces (picture Maddie and Faith standing there with their hands crossed underneath their chins begging... "pllllllleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaasee???") and realized this was an experience for them that they never get anyway, so we went ahead and got the tickets-- and some nifty 3D glasses too.

The movie was EXCELLENT. Mandy Moore was awesome as Rapunzel, and my girlies were already in love with Flynn Ryder even before tonight (books from the library), but now even moreso. Faith took John Smith along with her for the movie, and told us that John Smith loved watching Flynn. Abrielle was astonishingly SUPERBLY behaved. I was expecting the worst, and my girl was an angel. Not even just that, she absolutely enjoyed every second of it! She was clapping and laughing out loud at parts when nobody else was even laughing (so I knew it wasn't just her imitating the crowd, but that she was thoroughly enjoying the movie). Abrie is NOT a TV/movie person whatsoever, but she watched almost the entire movie on my/Dan's lap.

I am sure we won't go and see another movie in theaters for years, so it was well worth the tremendous price to see it.
