Marrekesh!

One of our favorite presents from Brad's parents was dinner at the Marrekesh. If you've never been blessed to experience the Marrekesh I'll fill you in. The Marrekesh is the family's favorite Moroccan resturaunt staffed and owned by a very friendly Egyptian fellow. He remembers all the kids and details from previous visits even though ventures are only annually. If you ever go spulrge and get the feast- a delicious five course meal served family style. The food is great but it's all about the experience. Eating with your hands, fighting over the bastilla, making truces to let the food cool before anyone digs in an effort to get your fair share, and listening to stories about Mondo and his life. Not sure why but I love this picture of Zach
Justin and Stephanie
Matt and Emily
Ben and CelesteAnd...
Ang and Cameron didn't end up with a picture of the two of them but we did manage to capture a classic Angela face:)

Awwwwww. Family traditions are the BEST. It sounds like the Wagners have a good one. It’s funny cause Gary and I were just talking about wanting to have a restaurant be "our place" where we go all the time, and everyone knows us, and we can say "Hey Janis, I'll take the usual..." **sigh**
ps. Brad wants an invite to our blog, but I don't have his email. can you email it to me? :)
