Love me a Luau!

I love my birthday, May 1st. For one, it falls on Hawaii's "Lei Day" and it gives me a perfect reason to throw a luau. This was exactly how I wanted to celebrate with friends and family - lots of color, flowers and of course, a tropical feast of Hawaiian inspired eats.

Roughly 40 people came over to celebrate with me and it was just as much fun seeing familiar faces as it was to prepare (especially my birthday cake pictured above, shaped into an aloha shirt!) From the massive amounts of drinks, fabulous dinner spread, karaoke seranades, friendly smiles and warm hugs, this was definitely a birthday I'll cherish forever. Here are some pics that were taken during the luau... and I hope to get more from those that were camera ready throughout the night. Mahalo friends!
