and so we held our annual family get together this year, first coined 'lei'd back', then called 'luau'. too many puns on 'lei'd back' though we actually liked it. whatever it was called, it was a blast!
with frosted coconut cupcakes...
and exchanging of 'white elephant' gifts.
and two roast lambs to boot!!
(only one shown here, the other gone before we could snap a picture).
there was a special appearance of the 'pineapple lady', who was really a jester in disguise.

and a bunch of other cartoon characters.
pretty aloha ladies...
hungry aloha boys...
and contented aloha parents.
and water balloon fights...
and limbo tryouts (nobody was hurt, we assure you).
the kids had a great time (we all did!).
and decided to be behave like bunnies.
and the grandparents say, "thank you. we love you. let's do this again".
the end =), till next year.
