After a long day at school, then football practice, Aba made it home around 6pm. We decided to celebrate his birthday at one of our favorite places, Wasabi.
For those who may not be familiar, it is a Japanese Steak House specializing in "hibachi-style" and is often used in the United States as a term for Japanese teppanyaki cooking, in which gas-heated hotplates are integrated into tables around which many people can sit and eat at once. The chef performs the cooking in front of the diners, typically with theatrical flair—such as lighting a volcano-shaped stack of raw onion hoops on fire.
After a fun dinner, we went home for more desert and to open his gift.

He was so surprised and happy to get his first American football! Lots of laughs and smiles all around on his first birthday away from home. For a surrogate family, I think we did OK!
