Ok, here I go I must admit it. I love Hannah Montana. There I said it. I’m more then happy to sit down with my ten year old and tune in to the latest Hannah Montana episode. When I found out it was ending I was just as disappointed as Johnny was. We have been watching Miley grow up on television for as log as I can remember. When Johnny found out we were getting the final season on DVD he was excited and couldn’t wait to make a night of it with his mom and some popcorn.
When the DVD arrived we were impressed with the packaging. Unlike any DVD we’ve received before this DVD has a cool little book built in to the case. You’d actually think it was a book if you saw it sitting on the counter without the sleeve on it. Inside you’ll find a autographed picture, character bios, funny pictures, and more. I liked seeing her crazy different looks throughout the years. As a mom I find it crazy how much she “grew up” over the years. I can’t believe my own kids will go from looking like a cute little kid to a grown person in such a short time.
