My birthday was last Thursday, March 12th. I can't believe that I'm 28 ... my how time flies! As typical with my family, we all got together for dinner somewhere. I chose to have my birthday dinner at Benihana's. It was so much fun to all be together at such a fun place. Andrew loved watching Jorge, our chef, cook everything on the "hot" grill!

Opening a gift ... wearing my birthday crown!
Andrew trying to move those utensils just like Jorge did ... He liked watching him cook!
Avery was a pro at using the "automatic" chopsticks. I think she may have even eaten some food with them! She had to concentrate a lot!
Andrew trying out the chopsticks ... I know it looks like he is about to poke his eyes out, but he is really just pinching his nose ... one of his new favorite things to do. 
Watching Jorge cook was very tiring for Andrew.
My birthday cake. One of my patients made this delicious cake for me. I brought it to dinner with us.
