This party was SO much fun. I was barely out of the hospital for 24 hours, and I could have never pulled it off without the tremendous help of my friends and family. People brought various food dishes so I didn't have to go shopping and throw together the meal. Since I'm quite the pre-planner (OCD? No. Just prepared.) I had already started putting up decorations the previous week. When Nick came home the Saturday before the party and I'd hung up grass fringe and totem poles in preperation, he raised his brow. I simply stated that "You never know how the week is going to go. I'd rather get an early start and not be stressing on the party day." Then, I ended up in the hospital for the four days leading up to the event. He will never question my motive again. Talullah's Luau was a complete success. Perhaps a bit chaotic, but a success nonetheless. We crammed forty people into our house and there was noise and craziness. It was great. My oldest daughter had such a great time being spoiled by her friends with love and affection. This is probably the last year that I'll be able to invite all of her friends AND all of my friends to any of her birthday parties, so I enjoyed every moment. As she gets older, I realize that the parties will be more for her and less for me. Soon she'll be wanting to go giggle with girlfriends instead of sitting next to her mommy while she eats her cake and opens presents. Such is life.
