Breaking Dawn Is Out!!!!

As you all know I love the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer. The fourth book in the series came out August 2, 2008. I was in charge of the release party through TwilightMoms.com. We had so much fun and can not wait to do it again.!!!!
Everything began on Friday August 1st. Once we got everything set up and ready to go It was finally starting to some what cool off!!! So dinner was at 6pm followed by games. At 9pm some of the Twilightmoms had to leave for Barns & Noble where we were volunteering. To help with the games they were doing for the midnight release party. By 10pm everyone else had joined us. The store was soooo crazy!! I have never seen anything like it, but then I have never had a book suck me in like this has. While at B&N there was a costume contest and we had the best group. We had Alice, Rosalie, Heidi (in New Moon), Bella and Victoria. They even as far as to get contacts to fit the parts. Victoria won!!! Yay!! You all looked good. I am only sad that some how I missed getting a picture of Bella (Charity). After we got our books we all went back to the house where we had our dinner party and continued with an all night sleepover to read our books. Let's just say there were a lot of abandoned husbands and children. At the sleepover we had a wedding cake and a toast to go along with our wedding theme for book four.
I want to thank everyone that came and helped make this one of the best Twilightmom events. Also thanks to a fellow Twilightmom, you know who you are, that kept us curious every time she would scream and gasp at all the jaw dropping moments!!! It was so fun to see how everyone would react together. One of the Twilightmoms who lives far far away and could not join us in person, but was there on a stick. Her Name is Twilight2thecore (Renee), Boy did she keep the party going!!This will be one moment I will never forget. Below is a slide show of the evening and a video clip of the bouquet toss at Barns & Noble.

And Here they are as a complete set!!!

The Cute name tags that everyone got!!!

*** I am sorry that I can not remember everyones names and hope that I some right****








Here is the craziness at B&N!!! It sure was fun though!!!

And Yes!!! I have finished the book, although my kids now know how to make their own hot dogs in the microwave!! I loved loved the book!!! It took me by surprise since I never expected what happened to happen!!!It was the best way to wrap up Edward and Bella's story!!! I hope everyone else liked it. I at one time wanted this to be the last book, but the author left it open for more. I know that I want more.
Also check out the other Twilighmoms blogs for more party info and pictures. Here is a link to the TwilightMoms website to view more of the pictures from the party that others have gotten. Also feel free to look around the site and see what everyone is saying about Breaking Dawn!!!

You stood on a chair for me?!?! That is so cool!!! I'm all verklempt!

It looks like you had a blast! I'm glad it went so well.

I didn't make it to a party- my car broke down on the way to Cedar but I did manage to get to a WalMart at midnight to get my copy.

I loved it too! I'm revamping already so I can really absorb it all.
