Red Robin Tradition

I don't know if it's the singing, the sundae, or the silly glasses...but our girls love to go to RR on their actual birthday...it's sort of become a tradition

Wiki Tiki Birthday Luau

Avery was turning *4* so we decided to have a Luau

The American Kitchen had a cancellation...so we nabbed it and the party planning began.

Decorations, games, party favors...even the weather cooperated. Jason and Tony grilled us shish-ka-bobs, sweet n' sour meatballs inside, along w/a great spread.

Good food + Great friends and family = one fun party!

cake by Lisa Hill, she never disappoints

as kids arrived, they were greeted w/leis, grass skirts, or hats

Thanks Ben and Max for being the limbo boys. Neely did a great job!

Aaah..presents. Oh NO YOU DIDN'T....not the Scooby Doo Haunted Mansion to go with the Scooby Doo Mystery Van!!! Thanks Granny, Danielson's, Auntie Lana

There was a pretty good Toy Story 3 theme going on for the gifts, as well as the Scooby Doo loot. Avery was in hog heaven!

Time for cake!! I can't believe my little peanut is already FOUR!

One of my true joys...throwing a birthday party for my kids. I love it!
