My Son's Birthday/息子の誕生日

This evening, my family went to a local Italian restaurant called SPiGA to celebrate my son's birthday. We ordered four dishes and shared them.

Later, my daughter, who likes anything sweet, ordered this dessert, an assortment of three types of sweets:

My son ordered a hamburger with mushrooms:

This looks like it was a really fun meal for your family! Happy birthday to your son, and I'm glad you were all able to celebrate together.

YSC: Thanks! As I said in the post, I was the one that was given the cakes in the last photo the day before my son's birthday (by a neighbor as a token of gratitude for the word-processing work I had done for him).

Anonymous: Thanks. They all looked delicious (oishisou), and were actually quite good! I'd like to have spaghetti with truffles the next time I visit the restaurant.
