Twilight Party

Ummm... before you start judging (for all you non-twilight fans)the party was a blast. We all had so much fun. Whether it was having no kids, or no husbands (to make fun of us), or that fact that it was Twilight talk all night long, we had an absolute blast. The only requirement for the party was that you had to have read all three books and like them. Some even crammed to get all three books read in a matter of days, ignoring kids and house, in order to come.. (Tana). It was so much fun to hear everyone's theories and predictions... I dare say some couldn't wait to hear everyone elses predictions... (Marianne). Everyone's enthusiasm was contagious and it made the party all that much better.

When Kelltie and I sent the invitations out we sent along the first clue on a treasure hunt or "James' hunt for Bella".. I planted clues all over Plymouth and the party goers had a week to complete the trail. Some die hard "hunters" ... (Aase coven)even braved been sprayed with a garden hose to collect clues. It added to the fun and prizes were awarded for those that brought all the clues to the party.

We played games and ate lots of food and a had an awesome video quiz (which unfortunately we were not able to hook up to the TV,.. wrong cord. Thanks to my good friend Tia for making the quiz!!) to complete the party.

Thanks to all who came and enjoyed and to Kelltie for being my cohort in planning. It just made me even more excited for the Breaking Dawn release.

Unfortunately, I was having so much fun during the party that I didn't as many photos as I should have. Here are the few I did manage to get.

That is so funny!! I went to the midnight party at Barnes and Noble with a bunch of friends. We had so much fun! We all wore black t-shirts with the phrase from Alice in book 2, "Let's behave ourselves shall we? There are ladies present." I'm not yet finished with the 4th but close!!

I LOVE it and wish I had been there too. I did wait until Saturday to pick up my book - when you get old it's hard to stay up til midnight.
