Men's Olympic Gold medal game

Like most of the nation, Emmett got up earlier than usual today.

Unlike most of the nation, he did not get up early to watch the gold medal hockey final between Canada and Sweden. Inspired by the nail biting women's gold medal game, our men's team also did us proud as they defeated Sweden 3 - 0 and captured the gold medal. Whether it was in a bar, an airport, a Tim Horton's, or on an iPhone-because-you-don't-own-a-tv-or-subscribe-to-cable, the early rise for the puck drop at 5am can only be described as a truly Canadian moment.

No, our Emmett was up AND dressed at 5:30am this morning for other reasons. Fueled by the excitement only a four year old can feel, he catapulted out of bed in anticipation of seeing...the LEGO Movie, an event that has been on the StranMcCann calendar for weeks.

 
Emmet: An ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

And really, a movie about LEGO with a main character named Emmet? No wonder he was excited.
