Katie's 11th Birthday

Katie turned 11 on a Saturday, but we didn't get to celebrate with her much.  She wanted to volunteer at the school's all-day crop fundraising event!  She helped out from 11am-7:30pm!  So we celebrated on Sunday, when Mom & Dad Christensen came up to visit.

Katie picked lunch at Hibachi House after hearing what a great time we had there with Chris on Wednesday!  The food is amazing, so Chris and I didn't mind going back.  It was quite a show - onion volcano included!

Megan found an inventive use of chopsticks

Katie and Grandpa got spicy chicken, and Grandma got scallops.  Yum!

We got a whole table to ourselves!
