Kate's Birthday Celebrations

So what else happened this summer you may ask? Kate turned.... well the number isn't important, Kate had a birthday!  And we had a three-day long celebration. 

First for the actual birthday - Thursday, July 12th - Kate planned an all-girls celebration in the West Village.  Rooftop drinks, Sushi Samba, and cocktails at the speakeasy Little Branch.  When Chris surprised us all by emerging from work before dinner, he of course joined the girls-night out!

The next night the celebration was a romantic dinner for the two of us at Dovetail.  It was delicious!  Highly recommended. Kate snapped a little picture of one of her truffle-filled dishes.


Saturday, was the main celebration, a champagne and neon-colored themed birthday celebration on our rooftop. It was so relaxing and great to catch up with friends over champagne and macaroons. As the night passed on we headed to one of Kate's favorite neighborhood spots, Slightly Oliver's, for cocktails and dinner. So glad everyone made it out!  We didn't get too many pictures because we were too busy having fun!
