Lauren, Marina, Tess, Natalie, Maddie & Casey...Squeezed on the swing!
After Marina opened her very nice gifts from the girls, we loaded up Jill's suburban and headed to the Melting Pot for a fondue dinner.
First course was two pots of cheese fondue - one was Traditional Swiss and the other a Cheddar. Dippers were 4 types of breads, apples, carrots, etc. (Jill & I had the Artichoke-Spinach fondue - oh so good!)
After the Entree Course (which was teriyaki sirloin, filet, chicken and white shrimp, plus a variety of veggies, dipped in a seasoned broth and 5 diff. sauces to add flavor) the girls dove into the Chocolate Course. They had two pots - this flaming one was the S'mores version, and they also had a pure milk chocolate pot.
Marina blew out a candle in the slice of cheesecake which was the center of the plate of dippers for the dessert course. So many different yummy nuggets and morsels to dip into that chocolate. They ate both plates full and practically licked the pots clean! Only a couple girls got chocolate on their dresses - yes, even at 14 there can be issues, especially with long skewers of deliciousness!
This view of downtown Seattle and part of the Puget Sound waterfront area is from the viewing deck at the top of the Space Needle!
Quite a variety of sandals... pretty toes too!
It was pretty windy and cold outside on the viewing deck, but we waited for darkness to arrive so we could see the city all lit up - the sunset was amazing when we got there and then the nightfall was beautiful too - great end to the evening. Thanks girls!

Happy birthday, Marina! She looks absolutely gorgeous, as do her friends. What cutie pies. I'm sure this will be a night to remember, with them all dressed up for a night on the town. The Melting Pot is so fun and it sounds like the girls enjoyed themselves. Seattle is pretty! I need to come visit you.
