Thursday night fun

Last Thursday was lots of fun. We had our November enrichment night in the ward. We made decorative plates for Christmas. Well, we're not that good. We only decorated glass plates that we already made :) It was nice to go and meet new people in the new ward. I am apparently really slow and only partly finished one plate while I was there. So I decided to do three more at home this weekend. I thought they turned out pretty good; though I did spend quite a bit of time on them. Here are the finished products:


After enrichment was over, my older sisters met me at my house to go see the opening midnight showing of "Twilight". My little sis and her hubby met us at the theater a little later. There were so many squealing girls there it was crazy. Didn't they have school in the morning? There were these two girls who sat behind us who were particularly bad. The first time Edward appeared on screen they started hyperventilating! It was like they'd never seen a cute boy or something. My sister Kristy turned around and asked them to calm down. That was funny. They got a little better but still oohed and awed every time they saw Edward. It was a fun night regardless. My family enjoys going to midnight showings of good flicks. I guess it keeps us young :) Despite the many negative things I've heard about the movie, I will stand by my opinion that it was good. I wasn't going in with huge expectations so maybe that's how I found it enjoyable. It had it's cheesy moments, but hey, that's Stephanie Meyer for you. I will be seeing it again; in a hopefully less squealing audience on a cheap Tuesday. And I am excited for the next one to come out...I just hope they re-cast Jacob.

Now it's on to this Thursday's Thanksgiving meal....yummmm....I just hope I can taste the food despite my yucky sickness.
