Happy Birthday to US!

Saturday was so much fun as me and Ryan celebrated saying "Aloha" to our 20's and "Aloha" to our 30's (you know what I mean).
Our parents threw us a Hawaiian theme party and Ryan's folks' house was all decked out like a luau. We bought these obnoxiously bright orange matchy outfits on our honeymoon 5 years ago and they still fit!
Here's Nate making a crazy face with his Nana.
The party consisted of super yummy Hawaiian food like teriyaki chicken, sweet meatballs and a sausage & pineapple dish - yum! There was even and impromptu hula show that the girls put on for us (several times).
Here's Nate trying to get in on the practice dancing.
Although the main event had to be the Limbo contest. For the kids the odds were kinda stacked in the smaller kids favor so the winner was chosen by a drawing: McKenna! The competition was fierce for the grown ups. You can't see my head here but when you're holding 32 lbs. up front you have to counterbalance alot.It all came down to Joel, Dan, Blake & Jim and in the end, Dan took home the gold (the golden Starbucks card)
Altogether we had a great time hanging out with family and friends and it turned out to be a SWEET Birthday!
