What a great feast to share with all our friends and family who were able to join us in celebrating Jackson's first year in our lives and hearts.
And as tradition goes in the Hawaiian culture, a baby's first luau with lots of food and 'festiveness' was just the right fit for our birthday celebration.
The menu included Kalua Pork (tasted just like the roast pig I had for my first birthday), Shoyu Chicken (a huge hit as always and multiple requests for the recipe), Pancit noodles, traditional Hawaiian macaroni salad, Asian coleslaw, veggies and dip and fresh fruit with yummy peach goo (fruit dip).
And for dessert... Aunty Joy's red velvet 'Roast Pig' cake with little piggy cupcakes. Yum Yum!
It was very low key with lots of friends and family gathered at the ODF fire hall. And although it was almost 20 below, we still celebrated like we were in Hawaii with as much island spirit possible.
And Jackson was very blessed with so many presents from all our guests. And Daddy & his 'crew' finished Jackson's amazing birthday gift. His very own fire engine wagon. Simply amazing! He loves it! From the hose beds and diamond plate to his own personal ladder and OFD license plate.
Thanks to all who joined us and to all those who sent their birthday wishes!
Happy First Birthday Jackson!
