This last week I celebrated a birthday. I normally like a very low-key day with my family, but MrsMe took the opportunity to throw me a real live theme party. I can't remember the last time I had a party, maybe on my 21st. I will tell you that giving all the responsibility to MrsMe was very hard for me. I am a control freak. I tend to be the one in charge.
I was instructed by MrsMe that I had to clear out basically all th personal effects from my living room, pictures, knick knacks, dust and cobwebs. (Twilight has basically ruined my housekeeping skills. Ok, it wasn't that bad!) I followed her instructions and was left with a clean, empty, living room. My next instructions were to leave and let her and my husband decorate the house and prepare for the party.
I came home to my trees wrapped in twinkle lights and was met at the door by this:
I am now the proud owner of a life-size Edward and Bella. Poor cardboard cutouts have been sorely molested all weekend. Especially poor Bella. The boys couldn't leave her alone.
My home was breathtaking. There were candles everywhere, and pink roses. There were pictures of New Moon stills all over, quotes from New Moon on black paper, and beautiful posters. I can't even describe how beautiful it was. Here are some pictures. Sorry for how bad they suck.
There was delicious food and New Moon candy. There was plenty of alcohol to keep the mood jolly (as if Edward's presence wasn't enough.) I will post the recipes for the delicious spiked punch and shots soon. Then the there was the cake. My brother is a chef and in the past month has made some amazing cakes. A newly discovered talent. The cake he made for me is so beautiful that I could not cut it. It has a place of honor in my kitchen. I did not even offer to cut it for my guests.
Isn't it amazing!!! Do you like how he wrote the name of my blog on it?
We played 2 fun games. I did win both of them, but allowed my guests to claim the prizes. We finished our evening with a viewing of Twilight outside. Edward joined us, but kept falling over and trying to kiss me. If RZ had not been watching I would have let him.
(OME- with thighs like that I should stop obsessing over Twilight and go to the gym!!)
All in all it was a fantastic time shared with friends and family that mean the world to me. MrsMe decorations would make Alice proud.
Kathleen, Alli, Andrew and Reza, I love you all so much. Thank you for making my birthday so special!! Thank you Mom and Dad for taking care of my kiddos! PAB would have lit her hair on fire with all the candles!
I am going to stop going on and on and go play with my mini-Edward.
Maybe we will go for a drive?
