SURPRISE!

Jonathan surprised me with a wonderful party yesterday, one and half weeks after my REAL birthday. I had no idea it was coming, which was the idea, since I have been asking for a surprise party for about a year now!


He held it at the Tualatin Claim Jumper, ironically where we had my dad's 60th surprise party almost two years ago. Jon fooled me into thinking that we were going there for a work luncheon with coworkers from his new job in Salem. Tricky!
So many friends and family were there, including my cousin Tracy and her husband who drove all the way from Bend just to attend! We had yummy appetizers and a delicious pink cake with chocolate fondant poka-dots from JaCivas which Jon designed himself!

And I even got to drink my first margherita in almost a year! A wonderful birthday, with TWO parties (and 3 cakes!!!) that will be treasured and remembered for years to come!
