hau`oli la hanau
That’s happy birthday in Hawaiian and was aimed at Alyssa. The girls and I had the pleasure of attending her luau themed birthday party last week. Alyssa’s daddy snuck out to hang out with my girls’ daddy, so I offered to help the birthday mom out with the festivities. And I must say Julie, the birthday mom, went all out. There were grass skirts, leis, coconut cups, and flowered barrettes waiting for each girl in attendance. I’m sure you can imagine how thrilled my girls were to get these items and discover that they got to keep them. Of course, they have been wearing all the stuff ever since and using their coconut cups for each meal. Julie had lots of activities planned for the evening including limbo, hawaiian bowling (they used coconuts to bowl over pineapples), hula dancing, and crafting bracelets.
The table decorations were so fun.
And look how cute the beachy cupcakes turned out.

The girls “fished” for their grass skirts so that they would be no fight over the pretty colors.

Thanks for inviting us, Alyssa. We had a lot o’ fun.
