Good times were had by all at Maxwell's first birthday bash! The luau we held would be mocked by most Hawaiians, but it was as good as this haole could get on the mainland. Or as good as what the good ol' dollar store had in stock for "luau" decorations! :) We had a few families - some of our friends and their kiddos - over for the festivities. Everyone received a lei and an aloha kiss when they arrived. We had lots of food, good music...Max did some cake eating and received some cool presents...a great day! Happy Day, Maxwell! We sure love you!
The Spread... Plenty Ono Kine Grinds!
I am SO proud of this cake! It turned out great!
I felt like a good mom since my mom always did cool cakes. :)

The cake to be destroyed!
"Happy Birthday to You!"
Not diggin' it...
our dude doesn't mind dirty, but really dislikes sticky...
so we gave him a spoon...
and the real destruction began!
Whew! That was a lot of work!

Not party pictures...this is the cute outift Max received from Papa Dan and Grammy. Thanks again!!
(if you're wondering who he's smiling at...it's himself. He's looking in a mirror and admiring his new duds.)
All ready for Church on Mother's Day in his new get-up!

Look at the Maxter, he is so lucky what a party! He is looking quite handsome in his new attire. I can't wait to see you guys in June!!
What a fun party! You should be proud of that cake - how fun and creative! You guys do have a darn adorable little man!
the luau looks fantastic. good for you, keeping the Hawaii tradition alive. I'm thinking about doing the same thing for Mei's upcoming birthday.
That looks like it was one great 1st birthday party for the little Maxter (and fun for the adults too). I really like your idea for the cake, and it was too cute to see Max trying to tackle a dessert that was bigger than his head. :-D All birthdays should be that fun!
I love the cake! Very cute! I did a beach-themed cake for Mason's first birthday (even though it is October, not exactly beach weather then - wishful thinking, maybe) and it was so fun to make. Looks like you guys had a great celebration! He is just adorable in the pictures.
(I realized I haven't read your older posts, so I am just now doing that...)
