When Olivia Schaber's daughter Rae asked her if her family could go to the movies, she had to tell her that theaters were not open yet and that they were not allowed to go out at this time. However, rather than let this explanation be the end of it, Oliva decided to turn the living room into a movie theater with tickets, sold-out shows, popcorn, and everything in between.
The family ended up "going to see" Lilo y Stitch, since no one had seen it yet, but Rae originally wanted to see Frozen 2 Again. "She loves going to the movies, so when I told her we were going to turn our living room into a theater, the first thing she said was, "Yeah, let's see." Frozen 2 one more time! "" Olivia told POPSUGAR. "I can't. Take it. All. More. When I told him what the only option was because Frozen 2 was sold, said, "Oh, what a bummer," and we all lived happily ever after. "Ha!
And instead of handing out free tickets and treats, everyone had to "pay" for their ticket in mimes and earn their snacks by reciting the alphabet, counting and spelling. "She loved to 'pay' for her concessions and even shushed Darryl and me for talking," Olivia said. "He had an absolute blast and asked us to do it again. Waving some signs, moving the couch and covering the windows was worth the smile and joy it brought him. For those two hours, nothing outside our house counted."
