Sailing into 5 years old

On the 29th, Little Miss Adalyn turned 5 years old. She's getting so grown up! We had a luau birthday party, and thanks to borrowed decorations from a neighbor, a much appreciated lending hand from my sis-in-law Jandy and mother-in-law Peggy, and a whole bunch of excited neighborhood friends, the party was a success!

I think the cupcakes turned out pretty cute. I got the idea from bakerella.

The presents are always a hit! Adalyn (and Mieley when she can sneak one!) loves them all.

Now if only we could weather like Hawaii here in Rexburg. :)

The Hawaii Five-O

We made our own Hawaiian leis, played "hula hula coconut" (duck duck goose), and did the limbo. As a thank you take home, Adam's mom came and took pictures of each of the kids. Then she left and developed them while we were playing the games. When she got back, we put their picture on a origami boat as a sail (thanks again Jandy for helping me fold all those boats!), wrote the kids name in both English and Hawaiian, and filled the boats with candy.

Besides what the picture looks like, Mieley did have fun. :)

Thank you, thank you everyone!
