Question

What did you do for your babys 1st birthday?

Answer 1

party with family and close friends had a lamb on the spit  

Answer 2

A small family get together in the backyard

Answer 3

You're going to think we're crazy, but we threw her a luau.  

My folks live in Hawaii, and we're mainlanders.  There's a big 1st b-day party tradition in the islands, and we really wanted Mom & Dad to feel involved, even though they are far away from their grandchild.  So, we flew to Hawaii, rented a beach pavilion, served local food, had leis and a clown and hired an ukulele band.  No, she won't remember it except for the pictures, but it was an amazing and moving celebration of our family and  my childhood home.  And surviving your first year of parenthood--that's an accomplishment worth celebrating!

We also brought our 2nd child to Hawaii for his 1st birthday, as did my sister when she had a baby a few years later.
