Happy Birthday, dinner recap...

We seem to inadvertently created a family tradition...a few years ago we went to the local Hibachi place for dinner and now it is a "must".  For the Boy's birthday we left school, ran a couple errands, took the Girl to drum lessons, and then to dinner.  The staff claim to remember us (I don't know if should be flattered or horrified).

 Chug that Japanese soda, buddy...

 A Mickey Mouse rice patty!

 A repeat of last year's show--our cook (what is the correct name for these guys?) was very funny.  I even got a shot of the "fireman"...

 Do you all recognize this facial expression from yesterday's post? :)

 The staff even gave him a special dessert--tempura bananas--very tasty, as he would say...

 Then home to open gifts...a set of 39 clues books from Grandude

 A box of books and other goodies from Grandma and Grandpa...Legos from Grandma and lots of other fun stuff from mom, dad, and The Girl.  Make sure you check out all the chaos happening at the Veggie Nativity in the background...is that a train and elves with Baby Jee?  (or Baby Jesus, as the rest of the world knows him...)

Then it was time for some Minion inspired brownies..












And then bed for the children :)
