…for all the birthday wishes, it was a fun day.

It started off with reading all the cards the kids made me and that my in-laws mailed from Germany and then we went out to eat.

I was a bit surprised to see how many other people were celebrating a birthday on the same day, of about roughly twenty tables, almost every other one had a birthday gal or guy.

I had to stand up and do a “chicken dance” while the employees and other patrons clapped to a version of Happy Birthday, and got to have ice-cream after.

Harry was very impressed, and has asked to have his birthday party there next month, and I never say no to Japanese food, it is my weakness :).
