Birthday Celebration and White Coat Ceremony

Last weekend Phillip's parents and his brother and their family came into town for Phillip's birthday and white coat ceremony. On Sat night we went to a sushi place for dinner. Phillip ordered the all you can eat sushi and everyone else ordered food that was actually cooked. Abby ate a ton of rice and then snuck a piece of fish off daddy's sushi and actually ate it! I was so shocked! But she didn't go back for seconds. Then Sunday we cooked a big dinner at home for Phillip's actual birthday. He had been asking for home made spring rolls for months now so I decided to tackle it for his birthday. So we had a random dinner of steak, spring rolls, broccoli and potatoes. With the help of my mother and sister in law the spring rolls were a huge hit and Phillip ate more then half of them! :) Then on Monday we all visited Phillip at school and got a tour of some of the things he has been working on. Like his mannequin patient, Billy, and such. Then that night the was the white coat ceremony. It was to signify their progress from being a student to becoming a practicing dentist. It was very neat and I would have been able to enjoy it more if I didn't have my very energetic, can't sit for more then 2 minutes one year old with me. The parts that I did get to hear though were pretty awesome. Watching Phillip walk across the stage and see the dental professors put his white coat and pin on made him becoming a Dr. so real. Then all the students and dentists stood and recited a Dental Oath. From what I got to hear it was a really touching experience. Congrats Dr. Phillip Jenkins! Keep up the good hard work!
