Family Night Out

As mentioned before, we soaked up as much family time as possible over the Christmas break.  We had never taken the girls to a Japanese steakhouse and couldn't wait to see their reaction.  As typical, the reactions of the 2 were totally different!  They both loved practicing with chopsticks but that is about where the similarities ended.  I was shocked that Braelyn actually liked the soup, Em wanted no part.  Neither one had a clue about the food being cooked right in front of us.  Emerson's eyes lit up and had a huge smile on her face watching his every move.  Braelyn on the other hand was VERY nervous!  She was hanging in there pretty well until the cook put the bowl of the egg shells in front of her and told her that was her dinner...she completely lost it and had to sit in my lap.  He was able to win her back over when, after he made the chopped onion into a volcano, he turned it into a train, complete with a train whistle.  She was back on board!  We had a great time and look forward to going back!
