Turning Twenty-Six

First, I must say a huge thank you to all of you for your kind words and birthday wishes!
And a GIANT thank you to all my guests last week, you all really made my 26th birthday so special.


This past weekend could not have been more perfect.
A low key weekend full of pampering, friends, family, great food, and lots of wine!
Friday:
 After work I met my good friend Claire to see The Muppet Movie = adorable movie.
I definitely recommend it, especially if you have any little kiddo's in your life.
Saturday:
Started with a great spin class and Starbucks.
Then it was off to the nail salon for a mani/pedi followed by a little shopping at the mall.
The evening started in The Gateway District of Over-the-Rhine. 
 Drinks at The Lackman Bar then dinner at A Tavola, one of my favorite restaurants in Cincinnati.
We had a delicious dinner of two different pizzas: fig jam with prosciutto and artichoke with goat cheese. 
As my little birthday treat I received a bowl of salted caramel gelato topped with toasted marshmallows!
The evening ended at one of our favorite little pubs which had a great live band performing.
I have the best girl friends any one could ask for, they made sure I had the best birthday celebration ever!
Sunday:
I grabbed a quick brunch with the girls then headed out to my guy friends place to watch the Bengals ... get killed :( 
Then it was off to spend the day with my family. 
For dinner I requested a low country shrimp boil and individual chocolate almond lava cakes.


Overall, this is one of the best birthdays I've had.
A big thank you to everyone who was involved.
I love you all and couldn't be the person I am without you!


xoxo
Amanda
