Awesome Date Night

We had a fantastic date night last night! Patrick was at Grandma and Grandpa Haight's having a sleepover. Reed and I went to dinner at a fabulous Japanese steakhouse for his work "holiday party." This is the kind of restaurant where they cook your food on a grill at your table and the chef does all sorts of tricks and fancy handwork. We also had sushi, which Reed loved, but I'm still learning to love.


Since dinner was on the house, we decided to splurge and go to a movie. We went to see Avatar 3D, and I must say it was awesome and well worth the money and late night. We are very happy that we went to the 3D version, too. I was mostly interested in this movie just because of all the hype, but now I understand what all the hype was about. The graphics and imagery is amazing, to say the least. The story was good, but not the best ever told. It still kept us guessing though, and it was very entertaining. We haven't stayed up that late for a movie in a long time, and it was difficult waking up this morning, but I think we need a late night out every once in a while so we don't let ourselves get too soft and old!
