Happy Birthday Kate!

Yesterday was Kate's 23rd birthday!! We celebrated in style with dinner at Cafe Vino - the coolest place to hit Fort Collins! It's this awesome tapas restaurant and bar, and we reserved an outside table on their patio, complete with a fire pit in the middle. We sat around the table, ordered countless tapas appetizers, and made a meal of it! It was seriously the most fun night I've had in a long time. The atmosphere is beautiful, with the sun setting and a perfect, cool Colorado evening. The fire and water feature in the middle of the table was just awesome. And we shared it with some of our bestest friends!

If you've never gone to a tapas bar, I highly recommend it. I'm kind of a grazer anyway when it comes to eating, so getting to try 15 different things and fill up on that is ideal for me!

The girls - Jen, Jess, Brandi, Kate and Lindsay. Apparently the girls all got the memo about wearing black!! Not pictured, the guys - Mike, Rob and Jeff. They were deep in conversation and didn't have time to take a pic :)

Me and Jen. Love her!

The fire pit, with the water feature in the middle of that. It was perfect once the sun went down, and it was a little cool. Also kept the skeeters away, which Mike appreciated :)

Kate's 23!!!

Happy Birthday Kateums. We love you!
