Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving at Grandma Nielsen's, home of the best Thanksgiving pies ever made! These gumdrop Turkey's aren't too bad either!

Missy - what my family calls me. Except my brothers, they prefered to call me "Missy Pissy" growing up. Nice.

Bella

Yummy!!

My dad and Step-mom

My Mom , brothers and sister

Grandma with some of her Great Grandkids.

Tara!!! This is for you!!! :)

So....I had a Twilight Party. Yes...I did... Anyway, a week before New Moon came out, I had a party and invited all my "just as overly obsessed" Twilight BFF's. Although I don't know how obsessed some of them are when they don't even own a copy of THE MOVIE!! (Brandi and Noreen you know who you are!). I kicked out Ron and the boys but let Hannah stay since she loves it too. We watched Twilight, ate yummy foods, had some yummy Twilight-ish desserts and (bloody-ish looking) drinks. I decorated my house in all things Twilight. It looked cool and was so fun to do from the "Welcome to Forks, Washington" front Door to the Team Edward and Team Jacob photo ops to the plates that looked like blood to the apples, candles, framed movie scenes and quotes, it was all kinds of decked out. After the movie we played some Twilight and New Moon trivia games. Thanks to the girls for buying those for me!!! I had prizes for everyone like Twilight jewelry, candy, collector cups, journals, trading cards, candles and lotion. Everyone also got a "blood bag" (red licorice) and a treat bag of course! What is a party without a treat bag?? Each treat bag had a "Twilight" (book#1) candy bar that said "Thanks for coming to Michele's Party", a New Moon (book#2) candy bar, "Eclipse" (book#3) gum, a chess piece (book#4 Breaking Dawn has a chess piece on the cover) plus a mini Bath and Body Works "Twilight Woods" lotion and some vampire teeth. I know, I know Twilight vampires don't have fangs, but I put them in the bags anyway! We had a great time and I am now planning a New Moon party for when it comes out on DVD. I can't wait! Thanks to all my BFF's, Mom and Jen for coming and bringing food. I had a lot of fun and I hope you all did too! Hopefully those true Team Edward fans don't change sides just because Jacob looks good with his shirt off! I am still a Team Edward!

PS. Tara, sorry you had to watch it for the first time with a bunch of us chatty girls who have seen it a hundred times. You can come over anytime and watch it again!!!

Edward welcomes you. What a way to start a party!
