Our chef was a riot.. kept us laughing the entire time. He caught eggs with his hat and even landed one in his pocket. He also threw broccoli at Ash which was a surprise.. and gave everyone except ash large portions of fried rice. He put a tiny little bit on her plate and said, "u on a diet". (she liked him picking on her..ha)

The fun part was watching Raeg and Ashlynn's faces turn red as they marched out beating a drum and singing happy birthday. :) Raeg couldn't stop laughing.
