Our baby turned 9 this weekend! I can't believe I have a nine year old :( He's making his 23 year old mother feel old!!!!! Brad and I had a wedding to go to this weekend, so the boys spent the night at Mom mom and Pop-pop's house. We had plans to take Nate out for his birthday on Sunday. He started off wanting to go to Dave and Buster's. But then last week, he decided he wanted to do Hibachi. Yeah! I loved that idea a lot more...yummy food verses loud arcade! Nate told me to invite some family members. Aunt Denise, Uncle Andy, Mom mom and Pop-pop were all available so we headed to Benihanna's. We had a very nice lunch! Food was good, but the cooking experience was just OK. There wasn't a whole lot of "show". We have done Japanese Hibachi before and it was amazing! Anyway, we all had a great time, especially Nate! They brought him out a bowl of ice cream and sang "Happy Birthday" in English and Japanese! Now if I could just stop him from getting any older...that will be my birthday wish :)
Nate opening presents...the best part of course.

Nate and Aidan

The boys got these cool menu/chef hats! I wish we had a video of me chasing Aidan's hat through the parking lot when the wind took it :)


Mom mom and Pop-pop came along to help us celebrate!

Aunt Denise and Uncle Andy joined us for lunch, too.

Our chef, Jose, made this cute smiley face out of eggs for the fried rice.

Blowing out the Buddha candle! I hope he wished for a referral :)

Pictures turned out great. I love the one of the boys with the hats on.
Just think, you never would have been able to chase down that hat if you weren't training for your first 5K!! Woo hoo...up next...a marathon with me!
Looks like fun! Sorry we missed it...next time! Happy Birthday Nate!

Happy birthday, Nate! Jeanette, can you remember the name of that hibachi restaurant we went to near ESU? That place was SO good.
Why does Pop-pop get hyphenated but Mom mom doesn't?
