Surprise Birthday/tea party

Miranda and I are planning a big surprise birthday tea party for Jammie's birthday.  I have been busy collecting tea cups and saucers from my  friends for her party. A special thanks to laura Castelli whom so kindly donated most of the teacups and saucers for this party.   The tea cups and saucer will be a special gift for the guest to take home.  They will have the cup and saucer as a special time they had with Jammie. Thanks again Luara Castelli for you kindness of the donation.  Without you we would not have been able to do a tea party :-)
Plan on making some wonderful memories at this party for her.  Miranda has ordered some special teapot butter cookies for the birthday tea party.  We have decided to have her party at the Club House here at Crammer Crossing.  Together we are trying to make this birthday extra special for Jammie and special for everyone else to have this beautiful memory we are creating.  Miranda is sending out invitations in the mail for this special event.
Marlon took me to Tuttle Mall so I could purchase some pretty satiny white gloves, I bought for my sis Jennifer, Jammie and myself.  This will just set off our dresses and make the tea party be so elegant.  Jammie modeling her fancy white satin gloves.
Well,  I  have collected all the cups from my friend Laura and we only need a few more sets.  Marlon  took decided he would take me to a few thrift stores  to look for a few more tea cups and saucers.  I think I have enough now for the Tea Party.   I found some paper doilies to place under the cookies.   I also went to the dollar store and picked up a few things.  Miranda and I have been speaking every day to make sure we have all the bases covered for this wonderful surprise  party for Jamster.   My wonderful friend Ginny Brady bought Jamie a clock and gave it to her.   That new clock is now hanging in her room above the TV.  Ginny had overheard Jammie saying how much she needed a clock in her room.  Thanks to Ginny for being so attentive to have heard her talking about it.
Ginny has called me several times this morning  offering to help in any way she can.  She wants to help make this party a big success.  She knows how important this is to me.
The clubhouse is decorated and now I can go to bed and relax knowing we are ready for tomorrow.

The day is finally here and we are waiting in the clubhouse for the honored guest to arrive.












I can see out the window and Jammie's cousin from Texas has arrived with the honored guest, her grandma and Mom are in the car also.  We can hear the talking and Jammie's grandma is saying we should not go in there because there looks like a party is going on in there with all these cars parked out here.

 They finally make it in the clubhouse and Jammie honestly gets the surprise of her life.  A big surprise birthday party.  Love the look on her face as Charlene wheels her in.  A BIG SURPRISE was yelled out by all.

 Belle was the first one to greet her with her bouquet of flowers.
Everyone else came up to give her big hugs and talk a few minutes with her. Miranda really worked hard on this party to make it such a success.  Together her and I made this party a day that we all will remember.
 Jammie cried when she saw that her daughter was there for this special event in her life.
 Sister Jennifer to the rescue she sees a string hanging on Jamster's dress and immediately gets it taken care of.  The love my family has for Jammie is a love we all wish for.
 Miranda gives Charlene a great big hug to welcome her.  My sister Debbie is looking on amazed at the lovely atmosphere created here by everyone.
Belle is such a loving little girl she makes sure she gives her granny Grooms a big hug also.

 Guest all seated and enjoying their teas and lunch.
Miranda had a wonderful idea and that was for everyone to write about the best memories they have had with Jammie and they would be collected at the end of the party.  Even the men that were at my condo wrote down their favorite memories.  I'm sure when she decides to read them that she too will love all the wonderful memories her family have had with her.
