NINE

Makai has been getting super into video gaming, so we decided to celebrate at an arcade called Play and Spin for his birthday. He invited school friends to the arcade and then later we had family and friends over to our house. I chose my Rainbow Road tshirt as a surprise for him because we had just recently gotten in an argument about it while playing Mario Kart. I was beating him and then he chose Rainbow Road, which I did not agree to and he knows I do not like.

Tabu

We had dinner last night at Tabu Chicago. We were excited to try the Mexican pizza, since it’s been discontinued from Taco Bell ?! Also loved the lobster flautas and the queso fundido. The most fun was the dessert – Churroulette, as in churro roulette. 6 churros, 2 are habanero. Take your pick…

Tandy in Chicago

Tandy and Chris (and Kai and Kanoa) moved from Tokyo, Japan to Mercer Island in Washington this year. We haven’t seen them since I was pregnant and we visited Japan! Tandy was in town for work, so Dallas took Makai downtown to meet her for lunch.

Afterwards, they hung out at Marty’s office while Dallas and Marty worked and Makai played video games.
