Birthday Weekend!

Sam is once again wiser and more mature than her spouse! In celebration of this fact Mom & Dad Wildeboer came down on Saturday to see Sam. We realized that this was their first opportunity to celebrate a birthday with a spouse of one of their children (not that they don't like Mike, but he took off to Japan before his birthday).

We went out to a great Thai place called TupTim. TupTim has great food, and a really nice interior so the fact that the outside is obviously an old Long John Silvers' restaurant is not a big deal. For dessert we headed over to Mom & Dad Steenbergen's for specially delivered chocolate cake from Portillo's (a Chicago classic according to those who lived there). Jamie (the male) Phillips was so kind to pick up a cake while in Chicago for work.

For her birthday I got Sam New York Mets tickets! Well...actually Sam got herself New York Mets tickets, since I was going for a run Sunday morning when they went on sale. So now we're set for two days of NY baseball in two different stadiums! WOO!

In addition to the tickets, I couldn't resist picking up the three little frogs in the picture. I realize that our bathroom was already an overcrowded amphibian preserve, but Sam nearly bought them out of the hospital gift shop herself. Plus...what would a Samantha birthday be without a froggie gift?
