I love Christmas time, it makes me so happy. Today for example. I went to superstore with the kids in the morning and came home to a gift bag hanging on my doorknob, a gift from my visiting teachers! They are so sweet. Inside was a nice CD of Christmas music for me and some lip gloss, and they didn't forget the girls either! There was a care bears Christmas CD and some candy for them. How thoughtful! So then Jadyn and I busted out the Care bears Christmas tunes and colored in her new "Little Mermaid" coloring book while we listened, and then we danced in the living room while cleaning up for a good half an hour, every time I stopped to pause and breath she got me right back up again with her irresistible "Do you want to dance with me holding hands again mommy?" It was so fun to bust loose with a 3 year old! And then tonight we had dinner with my brother Josh and his wife, and on the way home, Jadyn pointed out the many houses that had Christmas lights on and begged me to put Christmas lights on our house (we'll see).
Last week about 15-20 ladies from my ward went to go see the sneak preview of Twilight on Thursday night, it was a fun evening! We went for dessert first and I loved the anticipation of the movie while we chatted, that was the best part! The movie itself was ok. I enjoyed it just because it was Twilight and I loved loved loved the books, but the effects were awful and the acting really bad for the most part, but it was still fun to relate what I read in the books with the movie, even though they missed out a lot of important details! I thought Bella did fine, but Edward was not that impressive (except for the part when he rescued Bella, that was just how I imagined it!) I think we all went home pretty dissapointed! I definately could have made better use of my time, like sleep maybe! lol! Although I will probably still see it again when it comes out on video just because it is Twilight and I will be hoping it is better the second time around!

I agree. Bad acting, poor graphics, but for some reason I still liked it because it was TWILGHT!!!!
SS
I feelt he same way, BUT I thnk part of it was cause they didn't have much money to make it. and of course since it was twilight I loved it! and I really liked Edward for some reason!
I think Carlisle was the best! Kidding. he made me laugh so hard. Did you hear they are for sure doing the 2nd one now. I don't think we will have a big group go to that one as we did this one. It was a fun night. thanks for helping me plan it :)
I can't wait to see it! I think I am the only one that hasn't seen it!
I liked it too, just because it was Twilight. I actually kind of liked Edward, by the end I had a small crush on him. The WORST I think were Rosalie (or whatever her name is) and Jasper..they just weren't what I pictured!!! Jasper was weird. Anyways...I love Christmas tooo! Can't wait until Ben can jam to tunes with me!!!!
