On a Magical Day, When Wishes Come True...



I find it so hard to believe that in 2 weeks, my baby is going to have her first birthday! It seems like just yesterday David and I were at the hospital, in awe at the blessing we had just received. My, how time is just flying by!

Keaka is fortunate to have her luau on her actual birthday, since it falls on a Saturday this year. We're getting excited! We're having friends and family coming from out of town to help us celebrate. We have all the fine details ironed out (I think...), so hopefully everything runs as planned! Aunty Nani was so nice to make Keaka her fairy princess dress, which she is wearing in the picture above, for the invitations and for her party. It is SO cute! We have the centerpieces figured out, all the decorations... I'm excited to see how it all plays out.

We've been teaching Keaka how to blow out candles, and have been really practicing it the past few weeks. She can do it, but we'll see how she does under pressure, infront of a large crowd! haha!

For those of you who see this post, and would like to come, we'd love to have you. We're having FULL ON Hawaiian grinds (if you'd like a small glimps at the menu line-up: kalua pig, chicken long rice, lomi salmon, squid luau...), as well as Mexican (enchiladas, spanish rice...)! We're having live entertainment (as expected), games/prizes... It'll be a day to remember.
Hope to see you there!
