Jenna had a gourmet birthday dinner made by her very own personal chefs, her kids!
On the Nov. 25 episode of TODAY with Jenna & Friends, Jenna celebrated her 44th birthday with co-host Andy Cohen.
After the birthday wishes and Jenna’s birthday shoutout to her twin sister, Barbara Pierce Bush, Andy asked about Jenna’s “big night last night.”
“Your kids made you a very special meal,” Andy says.
Jenna’s three kids Mila, 12, Poppy, 10, and Hal, 6, came together to give Jenna the ultimate cheese-lover birthday celebration.Jenna’s kids made a special birthday dinner for her TODAY
The dinner was not only made with love but the Hager kids added personal and creative touches.
“Mila was sort of the creative director,” Jenna says while referring to the green-printed dinner menus titled: “Mom’s Bday Tasing Menu.”
The tasting menu showcased these tasty delights with pun-filled food names.
Jenna’s tasting menu included: “Brie my Queen” cheese plate, “Jenna & Fries” truffle cheese fries, “Books and Burrata Salad” tomato and burrata salad, and bean and cheese “Texas Tacos.” To top it all off Jenna was served “The Cat Nap Crunch,” a dessert with coffee ice cream with Oreo crumbs.
“This is so cute so basically there were no proteins,” Andy points out.
“Well you think a bean is a protein, there’s high and low there,” Jenna replies.Jenna’s 4-course dinner menu featured lots of … cheese. TODAY
The menu is not the only way Jenna’s kids got creative. The place settings included a restaurant-like rolled napkin, plastic utensils, and a decorative plate with a photo cut out of the birthday girl’s face.
“It was fun, it was really cute,” Jenna says.
It doesn’t end there. Jenna was served dinner, with a show.
“So, Poppy actually wrote a song, I think with the help of AI, although she claims it’s called ‘You’re my brie queen,”’ Jenna laughs.
Jenna explains how she loves cheese, to which Andy jokes about Jenna got served “a four-course cheese meal last night.”
“I’ll just say this, that at the age of 44, a four-course cheese meal doesn’t hit the way it did at 22,” Jenna confesses.
Andy is in full agreement with Jenna.
“Two birthdays ago I went to Pastis and had French onion soup as an appetizer and then I rolled it back and had it as an entrée,” Andy says. “And man did I wake up in the middle of the night, it was bad.”
Jenna says something similar happened to her.
“I’m feeling a little bad,” Jenna says because of the amount of cheese she ate.
“Which Savanah was like maybe this is the time you learn that you have a slight lactose sensitivity,” Jenna adds
