The December Birthday Celebration

Earlier this week along with friends, we celebrated the December birthdays for three of us; Londi Burnett, Jan Rogers and me.  We have had the tradition for several years of celebrating birthdays on a quarterly basis together over lunch.  The rules are that the non-birthday girls buy lunch and the birthday girls bring gifts for everyone else.

This time, with three of celebrating at one time, the gift haul was substantial! Londi brought beautiful wine stoppers, Jan brought fizzy bath soap and I brought fancy presentation cupcake sleeves. In addition, Suzy Krabbe had forgotten to bring her gifts during her birthday celebration in the fall and we had all made it quite clear that we did expect a gift from her this time; so she arrived bearing boxes of chocolates for everyone.  Also Diane Kuenster came with homemade cheese breadsticks (yum!!) along with pickled beets and Denise Nielsen brought a Tully's card for each of us.

Happy Birthday Londi, Jan and Cathi!
