Family Luau Triple Birthday Celebration

I decided to have Brooklyn's family party the Saturday following her birthday (Jan 18th) which happens to also be my mother-in-law's birthday. And I invited my sister who lives in Virginia, and her birthday is Jan 19th. So I just thought we could celebrate everyone's birthday together. Since Kathy (my mil) is very into her Hawaiian roots, a luau was a perfect. We had pulled pork sandwiches, ribs, Hawaiian bread with veggie dip, chips, and fruit with coconut cream dip. 

I googled how to pick the perfect pineapple. Best advice ever, I haven't had pineapple this good since Hawaii!

I had so much going on, I asked Megan to be in charge of the games. She and Anthony (my nephew) are very creative and fun with games. First we played pin the coconut to the palm tree. We all laughed hysterically when Tony walked into the other room on his turn. 

Kathy and her boyfriend, Beau. 

The next game we split into three groups and had to blow up an inflatable surf board and throw rings on the tail. 

The last game was the best. We played musical beach towels. In the end it came down to Kenny and Pierson. I don't remember who won, but we were all laughing so hard our bellies hurt. 

Each birthday girl got their own desert. Kathy got coconut cake, Brooklyn picked frozen yogurt with toppings she picked from Wegmans (mostly candy), and Christy wanted double chocolate cake. 

Kathy had this cutout photo prop she brought over for us to take pictures in.

Finally it was present time. Brooklyn got a tummy stuffer, some American girl doll stuff and I had ordered her Rapunzel's bridal accessories (veil, bouquet and ring) but it didn't arrive until after her birthday so I just saved it for the big party. She loves pretending to a bride. Check out her face; she was gasping, then screaming, lol. 

We got Kathy a book filled with Hawaii stories and recipes. 

Laneah and Brooklyn took turns pretending to be brides. 

Brooklyn got ready for bed in her matching AGD pajamas Nana got her. 

It really turned out to be a blast, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Happy birthday Christy, Brooklyn and Kathy! Love you all.
