How many of you are excited for the release of "The Smurfs: the Lost Village?" I have enjoyed these movies and this one looks like a really fun one to watch. The movie comes to theaters nationwide on April 7th, 2017! Will you be taking your kids?
One thing I do with my kids after watching a movie is talking about connections we make from the movie to our Bible! (At my church I get to do monthly movie nights and this is so fun)
