Our Fab Luau

Living behind my sister who lives next door to my mom has some great advantages. One of which is a combined and large yard. It has served us well and we have had some great events out there. My brother-in-law Cody decided it was time for another fabulous party (a week after we hosted the Relief Society Summer Social!) and couldn't wait to start planning. He had access to a ridiculous amount of Luau decorations and so a Luau it would be!

We spent the entire day putting up Hawaiian grass skirts, laying out seashells, hanging banners, setting up tables and chairs, and cooking up some delicious pulled pork sandwiches. My kids were in heaven with it all so we put them in their island attire and took some pictures:

Karoline and London in matching muumuus!

Capri loved this floral hair piece and the tiki torches!

We had a great turnout with at least 60 people from our ward and neighborhood. It was the greatest way to meet those new to the area and to catch up with those that have been around for awhile. Everyone came to eat and chat all night!

Every couple had to get a picture here...

Annelise and Brian Ross

Yeah, that's Steve and Ashley Guymon-hilarious!

Cody and Cheri own a race management company and so we got to use the sweet sound system. Check out those speakers blaring the perfect summer tunes:

We set up the food on my parent's patio and it was the best food ever-lots of yummy salads and desserts to go with our sandwiches.

Cheri, me and Annelise-you should have seen our awesome hula moves!

Such a great party and we decided it must be an annual event!
