Birthday Boy

Ok, so I am really behind, since his birthday was the 15th, but better late than never.  On their birthday

the kids always get to pick where they want to go out to dinner, for the third year in a row Gavin had picked
Edo, a Japanese habatch restaurant, they love to watch the food being cooked and on you birthday they either bring a dragon mask to your table and let you try it on, or they take a photo and print it and sign it and you also get a pair of fancy chopsticks in their own drawsting bag.  This year we got the dragon.
Here are some pictures of our fun evening out.

They love to watch the big flame at the beginning when he first lights the table, but their favorite part is the onion volcano, and for the first time this year the kids actually tried to catch a piece of food in their mouths when he flips it to you, sorry there are not pics of that but it was fun!!

And here is a picture of the birthday boy -- after hearing the drums and the staff bringing in a special dessert and singing "Happy Birthday" he got to finally try on the dragon mask!!!

After that was all done and the food was cleared away he finally got to open some presents -- they included a bucket of sidewalk chalk, a catch ball game for outside and at the beach, a dinosaur activity book, and some other scratch off coloring design books.

That is all for now, will be back before we leave for the beach with some reviews and other updates.

Happy Birthday to Me

Yesterday was my birthday and thankfully it was rather uneventful compared to some years, the kids actually had on listening ears for most of the day and were nice to each other which sometimes is the best present with 3 of them around. I got a cute pair of earring from my husband along with a soccer ball charm for my charm bracelet. Tonight we are off to the second of 3 christmas dance nursing home performances that the kids are in with their dance studio and it is G's choice of dinner out -- Bob Evans. Last week J picked Pizza Hut and next week will be A's turn. Hopefully I will be back over the weekend with some LO's to share but also trying to finish up some last minute Christmas gift calendars.
