Movie Buckets for Christmas

About 10 years ago, my mom started making these for us for Christmas. We each get a movie bucket with our favorite movie, treat and drinks!! We all love it so much!! :) For the children, to make it more exciting we have added a toy. This year we chose for Emma the new Tinkerbell movie and a Tinkerbell doll. For Luke's movie bucket, we go him "How to Train your Dragon" and a adorable dragon figure. My camera's batteries died on me, so I didn't get a chance to take a picture of Luke's :( His is so cute!! I will add a picture of his later. I'm so excited for Emma and Luke to get their movie bucket this year!!
