Jerren's 30th Birthday Party--2/11/12!

WOW!

 What a fun time we had celebrating Jerren's 30th birthday, Saturday, Feb. 11th. First, Pat surprised her and took her to NYC for a week before the party for wining and dining at the best places. And he had an appointment for her to get her hair cut by........someone very famous.....oh yes, Nick Arrojo of What not to Wear! They spent the week sightseeing, and eating great food. After a week there they flew into Orlando on Saturday and drove to the farm expecting to see a few of Jerren's friends for a little party to celebrate her 30th. We had a great group of Jerren's friends and her Aunt Kimi and cousins Ashley and Sarah surprised her! Her hair looked great and she had lots of wonderful New York stories to tell! We all ate hamburgers, Kim's awesome Settler Beans and Mac and Cheese, Courtney's special cole slaw, Keara's delicious blueberry pie and my fudgy Hershey chocolate cake. Then the bon fire was lit! Happy Birthday, Jerren! How many people have a group of friends and family form a band to play and sing and celebrate your special day! It was a great time for all and a wonderful birthday for a very special Jerren!!
