Bonnie's Birthday Party at Palm

We celebrated my birthday on Tuesday Oct. 16th so that the seniors could attend. Many of the seniors help with middle school small groups on Wednesday nights. There was a lovely birthday spot at the table and I was crowned Princess for the day.


There are some birthday traditions at Haus Palmgarten. First the birthday person gets to choose the dessert for the evening meal...I chose cheesecake! Yummy. Then at a random point during the meal two girls will rush at the birthday person and give them Nutella kisses. Yes...it is exactly what it sounds like....they have Nutella (chocolate spread for toast) on their lips and the kiss the bithday girl and put Nutella on her nose! As you can see...I had my Nutella kisses.


Finally all of the seniors...which there are 9 of this year sing a song to the birthday girl. They take a song and rewite the words to fit the birthday girl. My song talked of Alaska and lumber jacks...not that I spent a lot of time with lumber jacks or anything. It was wonderful. I had an excellent birthday with the Palm dorm!
