First Birthday Luau for Bash



I know we're not Hawaiian but we couldn't resist the idea of throwing Bash a first birthday surf-themed luau (which I learned is a Hawaiian tradition).  We love Hawaii, he's been there twice since he was born and I could have a field day with the design, decor and food options.
 :)  Thank you Pinterest for inspiring some of the visual and creative fun!  We had a lot of fun (and help) putting it all together and really enjoyed the afternoon with close family and friends.  :)  Happy 1st birthday love!!
