Heather, Jeffery and me on his 25th birthday.
I can’t believe it’s already been a year and my little brother, my youngest sibling, turned 25. That’s right, a quarter of a century old (yeah, I know I’m almost 5 years older). 😉
Jeffery’s girlfriend Mandy and my sister Heather planned “Project J25” which was a surprise birthday party for Jeffery on Saturday. Mandy made really cool cards to send out and Heather offered up her house to host the party. Mandy told Jeffery that they were going to go to Heather and Jeriah’s and then head out for a nice pre-birthday dinner. Even though there were a bunch of cars in front of the house, Jeffery was still pretty surprised when he came in and saw us all standing there with smiles and shouting “SURPRISE!!”
Surprise!!
Family and close friends were invited and we had a great time. Our cousin Lorien, Cryil and their baby Neomie had just moved back from France and were also able to attend which was awesome.

Our Grandma Gillott made the cake which was a really cool 3D cake with a fisherman all tangled up in his line and the fish that got away. Jeffery used to fish a lot and still does when he has a chance so that was really special and the cake was delicious!

The whole event went really well and a great time was had by all. The next evening on Jeffery’s real birthday my mom and dad hosted a family dinner at their house and a traditional birthday pie instead of a cake. Jeffery prefers pie to cake so my mom made a wonderful coffee cream pie. Oh soooo good!

After dinner and presents we headed out to the front yard to do flips, handstands and cartwheels. Don’t ask why, it just happened and it was SO much fun (and great picture taking Meems). =)

After about a million handstands we figured it was probably about time to pack up and head home. Jeffery had already left for work and we had work to get ready for on Monday. It was really great to get together with the family to celebrate my little brothers birthday though. =)
Happy Birthday Lil’ Brodda. I love you. =)
