The kids have been so uber excited to try out their new popcorn popper that Santa brought them for Christmas.  We had actually left it at my mom's house in Texas over holiday break since we had no room in our car after loading up all the other gifts.  But, she recently made a trip up here for spring break and we were once again reunited with the popcorn machine.  So, on Easter Sunday we finally decided to give it a try.  I think the kids learned a little safety lesson in operating an appliance like this!  See for yourself:

Don't fret.  All ended up well.  We ended up enjoying some very yummy popcorn after all was said and done and I think the kids will think twice before leaning in so closely the next time we decide to pop fresh popcorn. 

We all agreed – it was quite tasty and definitely beats microwave popcorn!
