December 11th will soon be here,
When Jorie will reach her 34th year,
So please stop by for coffee and brunch,
Without good friends, a birthday's not much!
So read the Evite message that I sent out to Jorie's friends a couple of weeks ago! And the special day finally arrived!
Today I hosted a surprise holiday birthday brunch for Jorie to celebrate her! (Thanks Mark for doing all of that detective work with names and email addresses!) It has probably been 20 years or so since we held a birthday party for her. It was a fun morning - what Jorie thought was going to be a morning out for breakfast with me and Annie, turned into a surprise brunch in our home with eight of her good friends in attendance. Annie did a great job of picking Jorie up and getting her to come inside to wait while I "finished an important phone call."
Jorie was definitely surprised! I wish I had thought to have one of the girls snap a picture of her arrival - the look on her face was priceless! After everyone arrived, we sang Happy Birthday, followed by a Moscato toast to Jorie. The menu was Chili Eggs, homemade cherry-cheese coffee cake, mini cinnamon rolls, fruit kabobs, wassail, and coffee. When Jorie will reach her 34th year,

We played a trivia game about Jorie with party favors all around. It was a fun holiday get-together full of holiday cheer from good friends. Thanks all for taking time out of your weekend to make this happen!
Jorie gets a birthday kiss from niece Claire!
