On Friday night we went out to dinner and then I came home and got to work on 2 cakes for the birthday dinner we were having the next night. I didn't NEED to make 2 cakes, but I wanted to make 2 cakes. So I did.
I baked a lemon cake and a chocolate cake. For the lemon cake I made a blueberry filling:
And the chocolate cake had peanut butter filling and chocolate buttercream. So basically a Reeses' Cup in cake form.
Om nom nom |
My pace kind of sucked but I'm blaming it on the heat.
I also watched Gilmore Girls (We finally got Netflix and I am IN LOVE!) which was awesome.
Saturday night it was time to party! We met our friends at Brio for a yummy Italian dinner and lots of fun!
I had some fun with my new nail polish and bracelets I found at Nordstrom Rack!
And we had to get the shot of me and Adam all dressed up and adorable:
We had such a great time and it was so great to see everyone!
Sunday morning we slept really late and then had brunch at a new spot. I had lemon crepes with berries and ricotta and they were SO good!
Plus an iced latte that was awesomely strong and delicious.
It was such a wonderful weekend, seeing our friends and spending time together! I am one blessed lady.
How was your weekend? Did you eat all the food like I did?

Hey, I just loved these birthday party pictures. I am so pleased that everything was perfect. Thanks a ton for sharing this post. I also have to find the affordable indoor party venues in Chicago for my 20th birthday. I am sure I will find a nice venue soon.
