It doesn't matter how old your baby is, you still get sad when they reach that next birthday! The last few months I have been planning a special birthday party for Diane's 18th birthday, since we are taking her to Hawaii with us as a surprise, we thought it would be fun to plan a Hawaiian Luau and tell her then she was going to Hawaii! Finding the right resturaunt,(Dill's Deli) buying all the decorations, planning all the food, sending out all the invites, I had so much fun! Everything turned out perfectly, despite the rain and hail, thunder and lightening!! She was so excited when she walked through the door. She had no idea! There were roughly 45 people yelling Happy Birthday! Diane was so excited when she found out that we were taking her with us to Hawaii. I am excited too!
