Happy Birthday, Mom!

Yesterday was my mom's birthday, so to celebrate, the three of us met my mom & dad at a Japanese steakhouse. Cam has not been feeling well or sleeping well, but we woke him up from his nap just before it was time to leave in hopes that he'd be in good spirits during dinner. And his spirits were wonderful. If he wasn't confined to his highchair!



Cam enjoyed watching the chef cook in front of us, but after a little while he got bored with that too.



Although he did love seeing the flames from the onion volcano!



Cupcake & singing time!



Cam loves his carbs!



Somehow we manged to get a good group shot, this was an absolute miracle!!



But, as you can see, the cupcake even got old!



And wearing the chef hat? Uh, don't think so!



This is where we ended up spending a fair amount of time during dinner! Cam loved looking at the little stream they had out front & playing with the rocks, so we took shifts & brought him out there.

Regardless of Cam not cooperating to our expectations, we had a really great time & I'm so glad we were able to celebrate with my mom for her special day. By the way, if you have a Kobe Japanese Steakhouse in your area, you get a free meal on the day of your birthday if you show an ID. Free is good!
