We arrived early for Achi Leslie's birthday dinner at 2nd's

 Thank goodness there is a nicely stocked bar. I am not very much into alcoholic drinks,
but when there's chocolate involved, I turn into a shameless little drunkard!

And look what 2nd's has on its cocktails menu! A S'MORETINI!!!!!!
This vodka, cold cocoa, macaron syrup concoction topped with
toasted marshmallows is my new favorite tini!

Monica also enjoyed her Appletini Tart. It had Absolute Vanilia,
cinnamon vodka, frangelico and apple juice.

Auntie Judy just got her new toy - "The Selfie Stick" - and had way too much fun playing around
with it. She flooded people's news feeds all night with her sexy photos! :P
