Vivian's 1st Birthday Luau!

Our little baby girl is 1!!!!  It's so hard to believe that a year has gone by but isn't that the story of our lives?  This year really has flown but it's been so much fun.  We held a 1st birthday luau in Vivian's honor this past Sunday and it was a blast.  I made most of the decorations myself with a little inspiration from Pinterest!  We even had a whole roasted pig and the girls and I wore dresses from Honolulu!  It was the perfect day - perfect food, perfect weather and perfect company for our perfect 1 year old girl. We love you, Viv!

Some details have been made internet-friendly so don't really try to contact me at that email address.

 Aloha!  Please take a lei!  :)

 Mmmmmmmm - pig!

Let the carving begin!  Bill got to use some of his surgeon skils on this bad boy.

Still carving.....

In addition to the pig, we had quite the spread - shrimp fried rice, white rice, fresh pineapple, salad, fruit salad, plantain chips, Terra chips, pineapple salsa, peach mango salsa and cheese pizza for the kids!  We also had pork egg rolls that my mother-in-law made and was frying fresh throughout the party.  They were a HUGE hit.  People said they could smell the food from down the block and couldn't wait to eat!

Not sure what's going on here but I assure you that's an infant headband and not a garter belt!  Although I'm pretty sure they're one in the same.  lol

Vivian grabbed the cake!

This backdrop didn't quite turn out how I was expecting it to but we tried to have a little fun with it anyway:
