TWILIGHT PARTY!!!

{WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD}

I finally gathered some of the pictures from my little Twilight party!  It was so fun and crazy!  I of course didn't get everything done that I wanted to and when I got there everyone helped with the finishing touches (thanks for doing the apple votives and setting the table ladies)!

Here were the invites {thanks Amy}!

Here are pictures of the table {red & white polka dot and black zebra striped theme}.

We started with a simple peppercorn ranch salad topped with fresh parmesan cheese.  For the main course we had spicy {sorry} spaghetti and strawberry pretzel jello.

Then we played some cheesy fun games, starting with a bubble blowing contest!  This was so hilarious!  The catch was, you had to do it with vampire teeth.  It was ridiculously hard and I think only Heather was able to blow a bubble {you go girl}!  The best part was no one said a word because we were laughing so hard and drooling!

Now I have to preface the next game.  We played this awesome jeopardy game, but I didn't have time to finish it before the party.  Originally I wanted to do it on red fabric with black and white zebra print letters at the top that said TWILIGHT.  I got the letters cut out, but never finished putting it all together.  I also never got the questions put on the back, so we still played the game, just make shift, haha!  Great fun though and Britny knew almost everything!  She amazed us with the trivia she knew!

And each girl had a bag on her chair that included a bookmark, a Twilight cd and a t-shirt that said:

{god grant me the serenity to know that Edward is not real, the courage to live in my own reality, and the wisdom to know the difference}

The front of the shirts had a red polka dot heart and even though I didn't finish all of them, there was a black button at the corner of the heart.

We headed to the theater shortly after the game {which was around 10} and we got great seats {there were people there at noon}.  We took along my good sport of a husband to chaperone us and save our seats while we played card games down on the floor of the theater {eww it was gross}.  We were apparently pretty cool because girls kept wanting to play games with us and we were stopped numerous times to read our shirts and take pictures of us.  

The party was so fun and I'm grateful for friends who were able to be silly with me!

On to my thoughts about the movie...

• I didn't love it, although the second time I saw it, it grew on me.
• Phillip was on chapter 2 when we went and he loved it, and is dying to find time to finish the book!  
  
• It was funny, but annoying how all the girls screamed as each new character came on screen.
  
• It screamed low budget film to me, and I pray they realize the phenomenon when doing the second one.
• I didn't like how they did the meadow scene, but the bedroom scene...enough said!!!
• I hated the tree scene and got pissed when they show him running.  In fact I laughed because it looked so dumb!
• I really didn't prefer any of the characters although James and Emmett were great and I think they fit their parts perfectly.
• What the crap was up with Jasper?!  I hated his stupid look all the time!
• I LOVED the baseball scene, and that's when I kinda liked Alice because she pointed her toe every time she pitched - so funny!
• I know people are going to be upset with me, but I thought Edward wasn't cute at all, and Bella wasn't a good actress because she seemed to stutter and not finish her sentences.

Okay, sorry, I just get really nit picky because I think that this book is an amazing fantasy that just can't be turned into a movie!  Will I own it? Of course, I just pick it apart because Twilight is on a precious pedestal to me!
