Happy Birthday to you!!

Maria's B-day was this past week, and so we celebrated it the best we could (given that we had no car and are new to the area). We had a great, cheap lunch at one of the Weizmann Institute's cafeterias, and then for dinner we went to a great little restaurant down the street. Maria got a $17-$18 steak, which she claimed was one of the best she'd ever tasted. I got a chicken/humus dish with curry sprinkled on it... it was soooo good! We're definately going back there. When we got home after that, I tried to surprise Maria with a cake I'd bought the night before, but Maria already knew about it (what part of "don't tell mommy... it's a secret" didn't Anabelle understand? When I bought it the day before with Anabelle, she immmediately ran in yelling "Mommy!! Mommy!! We bought you a birthday cake!!!!")
