Samantha's Fabulous Birthday in New Orleans!

I recently took my first trip to New Orleans to help my dear friend, Samantha, celebrate her birthday. We met up with some local friends of hers, and had an amazing meal at Galatoire's. (Did I spell it right, S? I lost that piece of paper...)

Please note the tiara and boa. Samantha does all things with style.
Judy and Lynne, signing one of many - and I do mean many! - birthday cards for the night.

She got some great presents, like this lovely candle.

The whole group. You might notice unattached hands to the left. Madame P expressed her discomfort in being represented in a blog, so while I got to spend time with this beautiful lady, ya'll only get the hands.



Happy Birthday, Samantha!



After the girls went home, Samantha and I celebrated just a bit more. We walked the city, and ended up at Cafe la Monde for beignets (sp?) which are like zeppoles, for those of you who were reading last summer. Yum!

Excellent spelling with respect to Galatoires, but I thought this was a family blog!!! What's up with the love child and the birthday candle picture??? Thank you so much for visiting the Big Easy with me to celebrate my "25th" birthday. I had a fantastic time and was glad that I could celebrate with so many good friends.

Wait, what did I miss? What's up with the candle? It looks like an ordinary candle to me.

It's a candle "with benefits."

Get it?

I'm with you, "Perfect just like Mommy" - sounds like Samantha and Katie have really dirty minds when it comes to candles.
