Angela’s Weekend in The OC

This weekend I headed down to Orange County to visit my beautiful cousin J. I had some miles I needed to use/save, my beautiful cousin L was going down as well. I also have been craving a girl’s get away, I think it’s been two years since I last got away all by myself. Jamie was on board with the trip and very willing and capable to take care of AM. I was also excited to see my family that I definitely don’t get to see enough of, so it was perfect!

But that’s not all of it. Let’s be honest here, the real reason I went down was because cousin J was having a Twilight party!!! I couldn’t help myself, Edward was whispering in my head to go. I had to go!

J had a wonderful and fun Twilight party! A lot of the same themes used at my party were present at her party, but she also added a lot of extra fun things. She also has a big beautiful home great for entertaining. Some of the extra fun stuff she had at her party included; Twilight white lights around her door, a very Alice thing to do, a great poster of Edward and her fireplace mantle was beautifully decorated. The menu included; mushroom ravioli, orzo salad, fruit salad, a crostini bar, and red velvet cupcakes. For drinks we had Esme Island mojito’s and strawberry margaritas. There were extra Twilight touches all around that you can see in the pictures below. J did a great job and did almost all of it herself. Also, I can’t forget to mention cousin J’s husband for acting as bartender for the evening, the guy deserves a medal. Seriously, he had ten crazy Twilight women in his home.

Although, I have to say the best part of the party were the ten women at the party that are all crazy for Twilight! They are all incredibly awesome. We had a great discussion of the books and also played an Edward game, and let’s just say, nothing was left to the imagination. We watched the movie and we were all giddy. I seriously had too much fun.

Great party J! Thank you!

The next day we spent some time with the family. We headed to Newport to the pier and had a great lunch. J has three very darling and charming little boys.
It was a wonderful weekend and it was so great seeing everyone. And even though I have tried to quit Twilight, I just can’t seem to bring myself to do it.
