This past week Christian turned 27....still young but heading fast towards those 30's, haha. He asked to go to Benihanas for dinner, so, we drove up to Denver for a lovely evening. I've only been to one Japanese steackhouse before, but, they weren't as "talented" as our cook at Benihana's. Abigail was tired, but, such a good little girl! She sat in her high chair holding "momo" and rested while watching the chef perform his fun tricks. Christian and I ordered Filet Minon, and, it was DELICIOUS! I want to go back for our fake three year anniversary in Jan., hehehe.
The next day (Friday 11) Lynda came down. We spent the day hanging out and running a few errands until Christian got off of work. Once Christian came home we headed to Olive Garden for dinner. Abigail unfortunately was tired again, but, did NOT sit back and rest, haha. We had a fun time trying to keep her entertained. Christian was smart and ordered a plate of black olives, so, that kept her occupied for around 15 minutes (the child LOVES black olives). I think Abigail could live off of olives, bread, and ketchup if we allowed it. After dinner, we headed back home to relax.
Bruce drove down on Saturday and the festivities continued :-). We went to lunch at Tomo Sushi, which is very yummy! Bruce was the lucky one who got to hold a sleeping Abigail for the beginning of our lunch. Once she woke up, she spotted Bruce's food and wanted to EAT! He fed her some of his salmon and rice before turning her over to us, haha. Abigail also loves her rice and sushi. She ate quite a few cucumber rolls as well as miso soup. When we were almost done eating, I decided to let Abigail have a go at chopsticks, and, she was really into trying to eat with them. She wasn't very successful, but, she doesn't know that. She would poke at the food with the chopsticks in one hand, suck on the end of the chopsticks, and then use her other hand to pick the food up and eat. It was very entertaining :-P.
After lunch, we headed over to Focus on the Family so that Abby to play around at Whit's End. Christian loved listening to the radio series when he was little, so, it makes him happy that he's able to bring Abigail there. My goodness, he even has the address memorized from listening to the radio shows. We played around there for a couple of hours and then headed back home.
