Van, everyone's favorite viking fisherman, held a small gathering at Taco Temple on friday to celebrate the day his light was brought forth upon the world.

The size of the meal made him cheerful. Samy kept his cool, he's done this before.
I had the nachos and root beer. And yes, the food here seems a little overrated. But I'm sure it's incredible if you're vegan.
Exchanging (Van also exchanged me out of some nachos when he thought I wasn't looking. But he paid the price.)
Cammi and Katie girl-talked, but Van monitored closely to ensure they didn't get out of hand.

Group shot. Doesn't Katie look cute here. Cammi does too, but Van made sure she wouldn't upstage him in the most important photo.

It was a very pleasant evening. We should have another, but try a different restaurant.
