We've Been Waiting For This Moment

We introduced the kids to Star Wars over the weekend.  Levi had already become obsessed with the idea.....almost every birthday present he received was Star Wars themed.  He got a book series that told the entire story, but they had never seen one of the films.  So we found the movies on Amazon, ordered them, and the day they arrived, Levi was over the moon with anticipation.  He kept saying, "I can't talk about it, I'm so excited!"  We made a special night of it with hamburgers and milkshakes and then the kids brought down all their Star Wars toys so they could act out the movie while watching it.  We only watched the original, first movie, Episode IV: A New Hope, with plans to continue the series as it came out over the next several weekends.  I was nervous that the movie wasn't going to live up to the excitement the kids gave it, but they loved it!  I think knowing and recognizing all the characters really helped them enjoy it.
