Brilee was born the day after Christmas. It isn't exactly the best time to have a friend birthday party and so she has never had one. And always wanted one. And I've been promising her one for the last couple years. So now that we finally have some grass and landscaping we threw Brilee a big Splish Splash Hawaiian Luau Bash! She invited about ten friends.
We played three games: pass the coconut (like hot potato), beachball toss, and a tropical relay where the girls had to put on a grass skirt, large flower lei, big pair of flip flops, big straw hat, and crazy glasses. Then the part they were all dying for - the water slide...
We served the yummiest luau punch in pineapple cups, cake, and for the ice cream Teagan and Taryn (my party assistants) served sorbet in pineapple, coconut, orange, and lemon halves. My friend MaLea introduced me to it and it went along perfect with our party theme. Plus they are delicious! You can buy them at Costco.
These guys worked their tails off getting the new trampoline put in by party time. It had only arrived the day before the party, our old one was a saggy, droopy danger zone.
Long after the party was over neighbor kids stuck around and decorated our sidewalk with their beautiful artwork. The birthday girl sporting her new shades...
Benjamin and Shaylie played endlessly with the dragons...

| By the end of the day we still had a houseful and they decided to make it a sleepover. Brilee got a Disney make-up kit and that led to some serious pink eyeshadow make overs. Then they raided the girls' dress closet and wanted me to take pictures of them. They were pretty silly by this time of night. Brilee loved every minute of her first official friend birthday party! |
That does look like so much fun! Happy belated birthday to Brilee!
