On Saturday, we went to Ava's 1st birthday party. With a Lilo and Stitch theme and a location right on the water, it was set to be a good time!
Talk about an entrance!
The tablescapes were pretty incredible.
As was the cake!
And doesn't that dessert table look inviting?
Of course, the pool was the bigger temptation because, man, was it hot and muggy!
Some of the Iolani boys had a chance to hang around and catch up on the latest news.
Liam had fun playing with the little beach zen garden on the table.
He also had fun watching the candy-maker sculpt his lollipop.
See my octopus? Just like the Octonauts!!
Ewan spent much of the party napping. There are no more pictures of him because once he woke up, he just wanted to eat and be held.
But oh, how that pool was calling to the boys!
On Sunday, we were lucky enough to be invited to Brent's 6th birthday party. Brent is cool because he and Liam have similar temperaments and he doesn't mind hanging out and playing with a 3 year old. And...they finally got the chance to enjoy the water...
...in the form of an 18-ft. high water slide!!
I didn't manage to get a picture of Liam and Mikey as they splashed around, but apparently Liam went down the slide by himself several times. That's my brave man! Good thing it was Mikey out there, too, because I don't think I would have let him go by himself. Mostly, though, it was the kids and the dads out there having a good time.
Once he was pau swimming (primarily because he wanted to play in the sand box and I wasn't about to let him mix sand and water at a place other than the beach), Liam enjoyed watching the other kids in the pool. He paused to say hello to one of the grandpas.
He also enjoyed the birthday cupcake!
Ewan continued his courtship with Ava. Way to go for the older women, there, dude!
And he amused himself by trying chew off the bottom of the water bottle.
Overall, it was a busy weekend. But everyone had a great time! (And we still managed to get naps in on both days, which meant that Mikey and I also had a great time!)
