oh the guilt...


(excuse the blurry shot- i was not behind the camera. obviously..lol)

ok, so the guilt did kick in. we didn't have a big ol' shin-dig, partaaaay, celebration for kainoa's first. 'buuuut how cooooould you?! it's his first birthday' we constantly got asked. our response or our mantra should i say, became, 'he wont remember it. he wont be able to enjoy it.' that was our story and we stuck to it. (side note- kainoa, when you are old enough to read this, we do NOT favor your sister. your 3rd bday will be a blaaaaast) hehe.
what we did do though was have a lunch with my mom and dad and my mom's side on saturday. sunday we went to my inlaws and my parents came over. short.sweet.nice.

"party #1"

reason #4456 why i didn't have a party:

aaaaaaand, "party" #2

Yeah...I must've been on the no-invite to the un-big shindig with Amihan. Asleep or not, bday parties are fun! :) (Or did I just want a reason to travel less than 10 miles to see my Autobus? Either way...wish him a big-ole birthday from me and the girls!...(oh and paul)
