Happy early birthday, Kiana!

On Sunday, Lauren went all out and put together an early birthday party for Kiana (the first of two - another at home still waiting for her)! Ashley (Lauren's sister in law on the other side of the family) brought a roast, Lauren made two kinds of vegan cupcakes, as well as tons of other food, and decorated the house with "happy birthday" signs and hats. Kiana LOVED the entire event, and sang herself "Happy Do-Day, Nana" (Happy Birthday, Kiana) for days afterward! Her favorites were the peanut butter chocolate cupcakes ("bown uns!" [brown ones]), which she devoured. She also loved the books, hula dolls, rock-star dolls, and cute outfits (especially the ones in her favorite color "boo" [blue]) from Nana, Pop-pop, Uncle Chris, Aunt Lauren, cousin Allie, and Uncle Jon-Michael and Auntie Frances. We all had a wonderful time!
It was a wonderful way to end our visit: & I can't wait till our next chance to visit Hawaii!!!!!
