Tonight is the night we’re hosting my mom’s surprise birthday party! It’s a cocktail and appetizer party, but here’s the thing…she thinks it’s a dinner party for our immediate family. Then shortly after she arrives, it’s an open house. So I had to make the house look like nothing crazy going on when indeed we were to have 25 hungry and thirsty people coming within a half an hour of my mom’s arrival.
Here was my fancy schmancy planning tool…my notebook.
Then that morning I started prepping…..
Chicken sausages in puff pastry
spanikopita cups in puff pastry (I like love puff pastry)
Julie hooked up the party with all things “The Hill” including Missouri Bakery cookies, salami, cheese, olives, and crusty bread
The garage was the staging area for just about everything (thank you cold weather) ready to bring out once the surprise was realized.
The birthday girl had a great time and partied until well after midnight with the guests.
There was even live singing with guitar playing!
Happy Birthday Mom! I love you!
