Mt. Fuji

I selected to go to this hibachi restaurant for my birthday.  Camden had never been to one before and Kevin and I hadn't been in close to 10 years.  It was still a bit run-down, but the food was excellent.  Our chef was fantastic and we laughed and laughed.  Couldn't ask for much more on my birthday than to enjoy a fun dinner with my favorite people.

He did the "normal" tricks, but we truly enjoyed it.  The egg roll and throwing it up and cracking it on the edge of his spatula.

He made an onion candle and sang happy birthday.  It created quite the flame!

Then he showed Camden how to make a rice heart "cake" with a candle.  When they sang Happy Birthday (again) to me, he had the heart beat.

Camden approved of her teriyaki chicken, vegetables, and fried rice.

Then he had Camden show how she would work the grill (wish we had asked while he was actually cooking - a kid about her age at a nearby table got to do the egg cracking trick).

When he was done, he said he needed a picture of us too with his miniature camera.  We all smiled...and if you look closely, you can see that he squirted Camden with water.

We headed to Faith church for the Living Nativity, but while waiting in a long line, got a call that Gramma Pat had been in a fender bender.  We headed over to the mall to make sure she was okay.  Camden didn't say much until we got to the accident and she couldn't get out of the car fast enough to make sure Gramma was okay and give her a hug.  Her big heart was so worried (and then thankful that everything was fine).
