When I was a kid it was tradition for my Dad to take each of us (kids) to Japanese Kitchen for our birthday. It was such a special treat to get to go to a "fancy" teppanyaki restaurant, and we each looked forward to it every year. As we got older and busier with families of our own the tradition fizzled out a bit, but my Dad and Step-mom decided to revive it for my birthday this year. My birthday isn't for a few more weeks but last Friday was the only time we we could get to Fresno to do it. My Step-mom arranged to have two of my brothers and their families meet us there too. It was a lot of fun to get to all hang out for a few hours and enjoy a nice meal. I forgot my camera of course. Luckily for me my sis-in-law Carroll isn't as scatter brained as I am. Here are some pictures of the fun thanks to her.
