Children are our gift to this world, being the next caretakers of this planet and will be the leaders in our society. We celebrate their first year of life with a big celebration.
Speaking of celebrations, we are so lucky to live in Hawaii and our amazing melting pot of culture has made our luau's and other traditional celebrations very interesting and delicious.
Island favorites are always present and the mixing of favorite ethnic dishes add such tempting bites, it's hard to walk away from a buffet without a little sample of each.
On the menu for this occasion, I have no idea. Probably noodles to celebrate my nephews Chinese heritage, wishing him a long life. Undagi for his Okinawan heritage, because it's a family favorite. Traditional roast pork, maybe chicken, or fish are all great options. And the birthday cake! Yum!
Planning this event is a big undertaking, with invitations, decorations, entertainment, renting a large party space and all the food; it's very similar to planning a wedding. Months of preparation to celebrate this first major milestone and the chance for all the family and friends to meet the newest family member. I look forward to celebrating every special occasion with my family and friends and send my happiest wishes to everyone who is celebrating wonderful milestones in your life.
Enjoy each day! This life journey shouldn't always be about what lessons you are learning, but enjoying every step. I've been celebrating all day- It's Aloha Friday! And even better the first day of a great weekend!
Happy weekend wishes!
Love and Aloha,
Maile
