get your hula on

on saturday we threw jayden his first laua for his first birthday. we may have not had hula dancers, but it was still a hit. good food, good weather, good music, good people...it was a great day. everything was perfect, except for one thing...there was no birthday boy. where was the birthday boy?!

sleeping.
well, i guess it is his party and he can sleep if he wants to.

we gave out leis to everybody even though the majority already came in hawaiian attire.

well well well, look who decided to show up at his own party. actually, i woke him up. i didn't dare sing happy birthday, eat birthday cake, and crack open the pinata without him there. he wasn't exactly happy with my decision. his gnarly bed head speaks for itself.

quinn manning the pinata and obviously having the time of his life.

there's the smile i love! giving jayden a few minutes to wake up and a turn at the pinata brought that famous smile back to his face.

i was impressed by the j man for not touching the flame of the candle when we were singing happy birthday to him, but when it came time to eat the cake, i was a little offended. not one bite, not even one taste was eaten! at first i thought that maybe he just didn't care for pineapple upside down cake, but even when i put a cupcake on his plate, with party frosting and all, he still didn't eat it. he finally got himself to at least touch the desserts and smear it all over himself...but never in his mouth. i guess quinn has taught him well.

happy birthday baby boy! we love you! and thank you to all of our friends who came to party with us and helped us get our hula on.
