Last Sunday after Francie's big bash we all rallied to Emmy's Spartans Soccer game in San Jose at noon... she played AWESOME and almost scored a goal in double-over time that went right over the net, they tied 0-0 but it was a fun game.

Then after soccer we all went to Benihana for Ella's 10th Birthday! We had three tables (what are they called James?:) and since Uncle John was treating we loaded up on Sushi and cocktails (well, I had Shirley Temples). Francie loved the flaming onion tower and flying shrimp tails and chowed down on fried rice and soup.

Happy Birthday Ella!

The whole crowd...

Francie!

Jannie, James and Em

Connor, Uncle Jerry and Johners

Little Miss center of attention (but ok sharing it with Ella!)

"Yummm.... Sprite."

Waiting for our tables

Eating soup with Jannie

Flaming Onions (Uncle James said "Say goodbye to that little jumper she's wearing" since everything smells like Benihana for life after sitting at those tables!)

James and Em enjoying their "Shrimp & Meadow" or whatever it's called

John and Connor trying to figure out just how they are going to eat all this food they ordered

Emmers and her "mocktails"

Heff was on Doo-Duty all night... Francie has been cut-off from nursing and isn't that happy about it, especially around her mom so Dad and Jannie have been distracting her for three days!!
