Amalani's birthday was so fun! Her Hafoka grandparents had been looking forward to throwing her a big party, and they did not disappoint! Her party was like a mini wedding reception - not too different from her dad's first birthday party, I've been told. Gramma Petiola made her special outfit and Grampa Filikisi made sure there was a feast there. Everyone ate until they were stuffed, and took home tons of food. Bishop Ti conducted and everyone helped set up and clean up. I was so worried Amalani would be fussy or tired, but she had a blast. She had fun playing with all the kids and eating off of everyone's plates. (I'm so glad she's social).
She was so tired from the drive up so by the time it was time to get dressed, she was totally knocked out. Gramma Tiola kept laughing that this was what all of Noke's 1st birthday pictures looked like...they couldn't get him to wake up.
This picture is crimz but it's the only one of the 3 of us...and the sign...
Halfway through, Amalani had a costume change...
