Hunger Games!

Every year at Christmas, I buy my nieces and nephews books. That's right, I'm THAT Aunt. You know, the corny one, who tries to force you to read, the awesome one.

ANYWAYS, this year, I bought the Hunger Games series for my oldest niece, Jerica. She was totally thrilled, annoyed that she now had to read three books instead of the traditional one. To make it a little easier on her, I told her that if she read the first book before the movie came out, that I would take her to see it.

The BEST...or worst?! Christmas gift ever.

Fast-forward to Spring Break. Jerica's little sister, Jacey, has read not just the first book, but all three. Since I promised to take Jer if she read the book, Jacey had requested the same. Jerica STILL hadn't finished the last book, but she powered through it, and completed it just minutes before we were supposed to leave for the movie. So off we went!

Can't wait!

 The girls spent the majority of the movie pointing out the inconsistencies between the book and the movie. All in all, we enjoyed the movie. I would even recommend to others! However,  we all seemed to agree that this was the best part of the movie:

Tall, dark, and funny in a post apocalyptic way? I'll take one please!

And he comes to the rescue with your kid sister is having a fit in public? So dreamy.

After the movie, we headed to Denny's to get some food...because I didn't feed them before hand. (They got popcorn and sour straws at the movie! I'm not that cruel!)

Waiting on our grub.

Then I dropped my lovely dates off at their house and headed home. 

I had a great time and can't wait to force them to go see the second movie with me when it comes out!

Ditching my dates.

May the odds be ever in your favor!
