Jeff and I are moving to our new home on Friday, so we decided to have the last party on our rooftop deck this weekend. It was a beautiful day, so we grilled out and made summer cocktails. We prepared some Chinese cold noodles, which is always a big hit at parties, marinated flank steak, grilled vegetables, burgers and hot dogs.
More than 20 of our friends joined us -- Steve and Heidi brought the cute Violet (their 2-year-old girl); John and Marie brought Jack (their 8-months-old); Jen and Andy came with marinated shrimp and cheese cakes; John and Jenn made "the skinny girl's margarita"; Andy and
Jessica brought a couple bottles of white wines; Bret and Katie came directly from the Cubs game; Suzanna brought the champagne and the delicious Mandy B's cupcakes; Prow got us a juicy watermelon; Kelly and Todd shared their delicious prosciutto wrapped melons.Jeff also surprised me with a cake from
Dinkel's, which is everyone's favorite Chicago bakery. Everyone had such a great time, and the last party was a success. I got a little emotional throughout the party....We have lived in this place for 6-7 years, so it's hard to know that it was actually our last party here. We will definitely miss our private rooftop deck!
