Shana Rae's Gourmet Burgers

This post does not include a recipe, as the title might lead you to believe. Instead, it is about a restaurant that set up shop in our house a few nights ago. You see, Shana was looking for something different and fun to do, so she and her daddy came up with the plan to serve the rest of us a restaurant-style dinner, complete with several courses, a wine list (sparkling juice, of course!), menus, etc. Chris was the chef and Shana was the hostess/waitress. Adrian and Ashton decided that they wanted to dress as businessmen and sit at their own table, and Jordan, Jalen, Malia and I made up the party of 4 at the next table.
