Since Josi's birthday was on Sunday, we had her birthday dinner on Monday. We would have done it on Saturday, but Ben was out at PIR for the NASCAR race 'til 11 that night, working. Her choice was Sushi again (that is what she chose last year). We tried a new place called Li's Bowl. The prices were really good, ie. 16 piece California roll for $5 and 8 piece Gyoza (potstickers) for $4. It tasted pretty good too!
those are chopsticks in her left hand. She insists on using them when she eats sushi.
I was going to put the roses all around the base to hide the ugly sides, but my hands got too tired so I just put them on the worst side. Overall, I am pretty happy with how it turned out. And Josi was just thrilled with it.
They have this tank set up in there with a huge cichlid. It would follow the kids back and forth across the tank and they had a blast with it. The lady behind the counter laughed when Hyrum "kissed" the fish.
Afterward, we went home and had birthday cake. I attempted an icecream cake again and have decided it just isn't my thing. It melted way too fast while I was trying to frost it. And the frosting wouldn't stick to the icecream on the edges.
I did decide to try making frosting roses, which I haven't done since I was in high school. They turned out pretty well. Some of them aren't as good because the frosting kept getting too warm in the bag in my hand and the petals would kinda melt together.
