Aloha ! The 4th Annual Girls Night Hawaiian style

Held on Saturday May 19th 2012 ( Tammy's Birthday) at Grandma
De's House.  We also celebrated a belated Mother's Day.

The event began with the entrance through The De's waterfall. A mist of water sprayed onto the
guests welcomed them into the Hawaiian Atmosphere and experience.
Tammy and Haley were the first to arrive, followed by Karen and Sarah.

We had two new additions this year. Aloha to baby Anastasia , my new granddaughter,  just 6 months old and Sarah, one of Sarah's friends also having the same name. She is now being called Sarie, so they can be distinquished.

The festivities, as always, is based around authentic food so we had roasted pork, coconut jasmine rice, plantains,  shrimp kabobs, homemade hawaiian bread, Hawaiian bunch and lots of fruit, papaya, bananas and grapes. Here is Sarah and Sarie enjoying the feast. We also had Hawaiian music playing.

When the guests arrived the table was beautifully set. Flip Flops was part of the decor. We used them later for our craft project. Real banana leafs were used as part of the meal presentation.

Of course our mascot mini mouse attended. This year her name was Milea and was wearing a clam shell bikini top with a poka dot bottom. Her toe nails were freshly painted for the event. Nothing gets passed Milea.

The first fun time event  was swimming. This was Anastasia's first time in a big pool and she loved it. Sarah , Haley and Sari had lots of fun too.

Although Haley is swimming much better on her own this year, she enjoyed the ring float as well.

She especially enjoyed swimming at night and jumping into the water with the girls. But her most favorite thing were the paper umbrellas. She just loved those and made sure she went home with at least three of them.

Our group picture always includes Mini Mouse/Milea.

There is Haley with the

umbrella again.

Sarah seemed to enjoy the umbrellas too. She especially liked the Jasmine rice made with coconut milk and coconut flakes. It was yummy.

Next on the agenda was celebrating Tammy's birthday. I made a beautiful cake for her decorated with Hula Dancing girls. The cake was a coconut pineapple cake with cream cheese and coconut icing.

At some point Anastasia made the decision that the party was over for her.

Tammy also needed her rest.

The next day, all rested, we were ready for some more fun.

I am not so sure about Sarah ????? She went from the bed onto the sofa.

Haley started her day jumping on Grandma De's bed.... I told her " No more monkies jumping on my bed"

Tammy made us a delicious breakfast, her specialty Omelets. We also had fresh fruits. We ate by
the pool side.

The adults had a nice morning treat. Champayne with fruit juice.

The photo shoot with the Hawaiian Dancers was on the agenda for day # 2, as well as a craft and a Hula Hoop contest. ( No pictures of the Hula Hoop Contest ) but the winner was Sarah...

Here are some pictures of our craft for the event. Everyone was given their flip flops to decorate using beads, cut outs and glue. The most interesting one was Haley's. She decorated hers with dinosaures cut outs. It was the way she arranged and glued them that was so interesting for a 3 year old. She won, the best decorated flip flop contest.

It was the perfect end to a perfect girls night.... One we will always remember.... I am already thinking of the theme for our 5th annual girls night....Stay tuned.  Aloha...
