Celebrating Brinnly

These pictures in no way to the event justice, but we had a splendid night out at Nakama--a hibachi grill restaurant on the South Side for Brinn's birthday.   At her request, we dressed as fancy as could be while we watched our chef perform his tricks at our table.  The girls were amazed at the onion volcano and flipped shrimp tales. Laney kept declaraing "Hot!  Hot!" at the fire and they were all a little intimidated by the fire. Not so by the food--the steak, sesame chicken, veggies, and shrimp were all big hits.  The sushi appetizers were some of the best we've ever had and girls gobbled them up too.

As is our custom, the birthday girl chose the other meals of the day too--requesting sausage biscuits and lunch and purchasing hot lunch at school that day.  And her dessert of choice was brownies with white chocolate M & M's.  Delightful!
