How it All Started

A few years ago I was searching for budget friendly, fun family activity. Going out was always fun, but quickly added up in our pocketbooks. We needed something we could do at home together that wouldn't break the bank.
Enter Ohana Movie Nights! We would watch a dvd and theme our dinner to it, too. Disney films always worked - they were family friendly and plenty of them. But where to start? So many to choose from!
Enter my obsessive compulsiveness with doing things in order! We would start from the beginning of course, the letter A!
And the rest is history...

Taste at Home

Did you know that there are many, many Air Buds???

I love dogs, and so does my family. Don't get me wrong. But when I continued my trek of Disney "A" movies with "Air Bud", little did I know what monster I was creating... there seem to be a total of five Air Buds! Rather than detail each movie party (because I was crazy enough to do most of them), I will lump them together into one here. 

I'm sad to say that we did not have an original "Air Bud" party... we simply rented the movie, and loved it! It's a great family film, almost like a classic boy-dog story line. I highly recommend it. After falling in love with the first one, that's when the Air Bud party train started...

So let's start off with the tickets! 
In the first one he plays basketball, but suddenly we discover that Air Bud is darn good at football, too!
Soccer, anyone? Oh yeah, and he has some babies!


The raccoon, as cute as he is, is a real bad guy in this one - watch out!


So as you can see this is quite an overwhelming task to take on... I needed something like... a schedule... voila!

Sports foods are relatively easy - they are pretty much All American junk food, but that's ok every now and then.

This was our soccer inspired menu, featuring... Balls! Every kind of food ball we could come up with! Meatballs, garlic rolls, rice balls... (not sure why there's an Elsa & Anna picture in there.)

Here is our attempt at football food: wings, potato salad, salsa & chips, and a football brownie!

As you can see there is plenty of Air Buds to go around... and did I mention his pups become so popular they start having a series of their own??? Don't get me started...
