The Family Celebrates
(as much as we can right now...)

Donna and Rand had us all to Benihana on La Cienega (Beverly Hills) for dinner to celebrate their birthdays. I haven't been there since we went with M & all the kids last summer, after we saw An Inconvenient Truth.


Allie loved her soup tonight...






The portable cart...







Mario, our "Japanese" chef...






The famous onion volcano (always a highlight...)





And of course, the obligatory shrimp tails were tossed in the hat & pocket of our talented hibachi chef. The kids loved every minute of it (and Rand was just amazed by it all!)

Nice to be with everybody, but even better to be home (it's been a long day!)
