More photos in post #5. :D





Okay, so who's attending a book release party for Breaking Dawn? :love:

My sister and I will be heading to the local B&N Friday night. :D

I just recently got my mom hooked on Twilight but she's only part way through New Moon. She insists she'll be joining us though we've told her there will be spoilers for Eclipse. She said she didn't care! *laughs* It's a family of Twilighters. :p

Hopefully the dress she's putting together will be done in time. My hair is now black in preperation (Alice book canon). :D

I'll be sure to take pictures.

I just bought my daughter the first book in that series for our trip to Hawaii. Her friend and her friends mom are hooked, I will read it after my daughter.

I haven't even checked to see about book party releases at B&N, it totally slipped my mind, lol!

I'm waiting for my shipment from Amazon. I preordered it back in March or so, and I just want it to actually BE HERE on the 2nd. Not sure if it will if I'll have to wait. I'm so impatient!

I wanted to go to a midnight release party but I am leaving tomorrow morning at 5 am and will be on the road until probably mid-day on the second. My parents promised we'd stop at a book store though.

I love a party

I was the first one with book in hand. I held it up and the line behind me went freaking nuts. The girl next to me mimicked the gesture and crowd continued to go wild. :D

The End.

Such a fun night. We ended up going to Schuler Books because they had all this stuff planned, (costume contest, scavenger hunt, trivia, quizzes, a DJ, & food & drink) where as B&N were only giving away a basket of goodies prior to the book release.

I went to the one at Barnes & Noble with a bunch of friends. We went to panera bread then over to B&N at around 8, then stayed till like 12:30.

I don't read the books, but i'm going to start soon lol. My friends are all obessesed though, so I might as well read it considering they talk about it so much lol. I did get a breaking dawn book though, but it is for my best friend. She wanted me to get her a copy, since she couldn't go. :p

I dragged my husband to the release party here last night!! I can't wait for my kids to take their naps so that I can read!!

oh Kimmy - you look fabulous!
congrats! :D
looks like a lot of fun!
wow Lynn's hair is SHORT!!!:love:it!
holy moly!
Last I saw a pic of her was around your wedding and it was really long!

Thanks! Yeah, Linn prefers it that length. Mom calls Linn her 'psuedo-son'. LOL! :D

I will admit to never have read the series, but wanted to congratulate you on winning the costume contest. Yours looked great! :D

Glad to hear a fun time was had!

Sounds so much fun. :D

CONGRATS on the Winning Costume! ;)

Looking at the last Dawg Shot ...
such a Shame those Poor Pups have no toys to play with! :p

:D

PS:
Is that the family hooch Still behind Kia ... or maybe Andy's drum set?
What flavour of Moonshine do you cook up?

:cool:

Woooooot!!! Your costume looks amazing!! Looks like you guys had a great time! So cool!!


I still haven't received my book! I've inquired about it, but haven't gotten a response. I'm not a happy camper at the moment!! I want to just go out and buy it, but if it will get here within a few days, I don't want to spend more money.. ya know?!

ARGH. So not patient!!!

I know nothing of the book series but Congrats! You look fabulous!

I work at a library, and patrons have been trying to convince me to read the books for ages. But, because they always have them out, I haven`t managed to. Looks like the release party was a good time all around. Congrats on winning the costume contest, you look great! :) I love the pic of you and Kia, too.

Thanks all! :D

And LOL Phred! 1) The dogs are obviously not spoiled. :rolleyes: ;) and 2) those are the drums that won't fit onto the existing set. They are supposed to be in the closet, but obviously haven't made their way yet. :rolleyes:

I sometimes wish I could use it to whip up some moonshine. :D

Congrats!!! :)

Don't know the book series, but the release party looked like so much fun! You look great!

That looks so fun! I'm on Mackinac Island right now and I've just found a copy of the book today at the books store in town. I put it on hold, I have to wait for my parents to take me down there to buy it.
I'm so excited!
Jake FTW!!

I got to read about 3 pages before I had to go to some party. It felt like I was reading fan fiction the whole time.

ooh i love mackinac island! it's a comepletely different part of the state though, so we don't go very often :(

I just started reading the series on sunday night...finished twilight on monday morning, got the second book monday afternoon, and was done with it by monday night. and my parents won't let me get the third or fourth yet :( so i'm DYING.

Eclipse is my favorite.

My daughter raced through the first 3 books and I just bought breaking dawn today. I started the first book and now I am hooked and almost finished in a few days.

Agreed.

A belated Congrats, Kimmy! The costume turned out great! :D I showed my sister the pictures and she was completely jealous of it all, haha.

I got home Monday and was able to break the book away from my sister. It was pretty good, and my favorite of the three (well, I didn't care for the last two chapters much).

The trailer is out!

Bump...I am excited can you tell? I guess the movie will be out 11-21...can anyone say midnight showing:D

I hope they'll do a midnight showing here. :D

I enjoyed Breaking Dawn. Wasn't my favorite though.

I broke out the Alice costume for Dragon*Con.
