For example:
Breaking Dawn Brunch ~
Honeymoon Quiche (Because you know, Bella loved her eggs)
Pregnant Toast (Strawberry and cream cheese stuffed french toast)
Fido's Scraps (A dog bowl with FIDO written on the side full of sausage)
Decorations were fake engagement rings.
This is our group gettin' ready to go to the movie...(the littlest kids (mine and my sisters) get the yummy food, but stay home with a sitter~ aka: grandma)
Hunger Games Luncheon ~
District Bread Bowls with Greasy Sae's chili
Katniss's Strawberry Salad
Peeta's Bakery Smores
I made little book marks with the Mockingjay symbol
And there was today: A Huntsman BBQ, which was a little harder because there really wasn't a book to go by, just the old story I had grown up on. But it really did not matter as much as long as there was some crazy hunstman style meat. Of course the boys ate the beef kidney (ewww) while I stayed on the side of sane and had my spinach salad and chicken/apple/gouda sausage finished off with a caramel apple pie that was displayed under a felt garland of red apples. (sorry, I would post pictures but my camera turned on in my purse and now I am charging the battery like the responsible person I am)
And these parties would not be anything if the large group of us didn't actually go to see the movie as soon as our tummies are stuffed.
Sadly, while most of the parties have around fifteen of us, today almost everyone had to cancel except for a few. At first, I was a little frustrated. And then, a little paranoid (what if something bad was going to happen and everyone pulling out last minute was a sign??) But then, the party came and went, the movie was fun since we could all enjoy it without passing messages down a long row of friends. After, one of my brothers hung out for a few hours and we totally brainstormed my books.
He was as excited as I was as we talked music for the writing time, as well as some amazingly awesome ideas for book three (have I mentioned how excited I am to get to that book?) And then, because my brother can think these things through, we worked at some of the minor details one does not often think about. Like can the Tainted bleed out? (Which after some discussion, I had to go with no) And so that leads to some thinking about what the world would look like one year later? Or two, or twenty?
So now I am waiting for the next big one (Breaking Dawn Part II) and one that should be fun (The Host) and of course the second in the Hunger Games series (yay!) to start planning my little get together's that drive the husband crazy and make my friends and family tease me. But I know the memories will last them forever and when we are all old and gray they will remember and still talk about it as we read books on the porch. And who knows...maybe someday I will be planning a party for the movie release of one of my books!!!
Hey, a girl can always hope :)
