Puppy Party

Here it is, as promised: Makana's 1st birthday party.

It was fitting that we based the theme on dogs. It was one of his first words and he is absolutely intrigued with the animal.

It was a lot of work but well worth it -I'd do it all over again if I had to- because we all had a great time, especially the birthday boy. Even though he slept for the first half of it... he woke up refreshed and ready for cake!

Inside the favor bags: Scooby snacks, personalized bubbles, bouncy ball, puppy chow and a paper throw paper wand (or whatever you call it)

that's a guava glaze on top of whipped cream and cake- oh so yummy

The food. OH, the food!

I wish I had a plate right now. 

It was sooooo so so so good. 

 

My husband, Keoni, caught about 100 fish within the last few weeks just for the party.

These are my awesome friends who helped run the party- Liko, Stephanie, and Chante

(Steph, I just noticed how stylish your nails were)

(and where did you learn how to hold a shaved ice?... pinky out and everything!!!)

LOL

We played a few games. One of which we clothes pinned a fabric tail on the back of everyone's shirt. Then you had to run around and step on other tails. The last one standing with a tail still attached was the winner. We split everyone into 3 games- ages 2-5, 5-12 and 12+. The 12+ were hilarious (aka, the adults who participated). 

Our happy little puppy family. 

My husband went for highlights in his fur
