I’m pretty sure this birthday was the best one I can remember ever having. I got a little bit of everything I love – friends, family, good meals, walks around Boston and coffee!
Beacon Hill:
Downtown Boston and Newbury Street (including Flour Bakery & Cafe, Thinking Cup, Georgetown Cupcake, Boston Public Library and Brattle Book Shop)
A huge thanks goes out to my other half who killed himself to pull together not just one, but multiple surprises for me, making it as special a birthday as I ever could have imagined. To our moms who made the trip to Boston from CT and VT, my sister who made the most amazing dark chocolate marshmallow and peanut butter fluff layer cake and my nieces, brother-in-law and oldest sister who hosted my birthday party at their house! I love you all and am so thankful for you!
And of course, a big thanks to all YOU lovely people for all your well wishes on Instagram and the like!

Thank you for the congrats and the birthday wishes! Yes, we got engaged about a month ago! I think it came out on Instagram 🙂
Happy birthday!!! I’m glad it was a good one. I know the snow much be getting old, but it’s so pretty!
Haha I agree. I’m not the one having the shovel and plow so it’s okay by me – I just get to walk around and take pictures of how pretty it is 😉
Oh Good Lawd, that cake looks uh-mazing! I am glad that you had a great birthday with your fiance & loved ones! Happy 30th Cait!
It was literally insane. SO delicious! And thank you! 🙂
It looks like a fabulous birthday indeed! Love all the snowy Boston photos, and those bakeries — mmm!
It definitely was! And by fat the best thing about all this snow is the excuse to visit tons of bakeries and coffeeshops 😉
You must have been filled with so much joy and happiness all weekend! It looks like the perfect celebration. I still need to visit Boston someday, I am certain I would love it.
On another note, those two dogs on the bench are so cute!
I definitely was! It was such a wonderful weekend. You DEFINITELY need to visit Boston (maybe wait until some of the snow melts first! Haha) – it’s such a great city. And I know! At one point the dogs were peeking in the window and watching the guy make pizza and he was cracking up. It was so funny.
If I had to imagine the perfect birthday weekend…this is what it would look like. My heart honestly melted and I got the chills looking through all your photos! These posts remind me why Boston is my favorite city and I can not wait to move back there. Glad you had a great birthday and hope you’re staying warm!! 🙂
Right!? It was literally the perfect birthday weekend – I couldn’t have asked for anything more! I’m so glad I captured some of what you love so much about Boston. We’ll have to get together when you finally move back! 🙂
Happy birthday sweet friend!! Glad it was so good! (and holy cowww your ring is gorgeous…I was scanning for it in each picture!)
Thank you friend!! And I know – he did a REALLY good job with it! 🙂 Love you tons!
Happy belated birthday! It looked like the perfect birthday weekend – lots of good food, coffee and time with your favorite people. 🙂 I can’t get over that adorable picture of the golden retrievers – how cute!
Thank you!! And right!? They were SO cute. They were looking in the window at one point and the guy who was making the pizzas was cracking up. It was probably one of the best parts of my weekend. Gotta love those goldens! 😉
