Good grade celebration

At the beginning of the year we bribed the kids. We told them that if they got good grades we would go with their friends family out to a Japanese Steakhouse called Asahi, our favorite kind of restaurant! They both got A's and B's for both report cards so we figured it was finally time to make good on our promise.

We went with the Rutkowski's and Neidermeyer's, some of the kids besties and neighbors. We love, love, love our neighborhood! Seriously, we are blessed with awesome neighbors!

Shannon, Robin, and Alexis.
These girls are absolutely inseparable!

Addie was very concerned when the chef lit the big flame. She held tight to daddy for a few minutes.

And then after dinner she rested her big melon on my big belly.
The baby started moving and kicking as soon as she put her head down!
They're already making each other crazy!

The grown-up table.
Sometimes it's so nice to have adult conversations with minimal interruptions!

And the kiddie table. Don't you just love how the boys are too cool for pictures!

We figured it was also a good night to go out since they're predicting another big storm tomorrow and Wednesday and I'm sure we'll be homebound!!!
Wish me luck...
