Hawaii Five-O

For Caitlyn's fifth birthday, we threw a "Hawaii Five-O" party with hula dancers, leis, and of course, limbo! These luau inspired birthday party invitations by Scrapless Press went perfectly with our theme.

Our family room was transformed into a tropical paradise with a 9' x 12' luau party super scene and floor lamps that were converted into palm trees.


Malia and Kathi from Tepua Hio Hio kept the girls entertained with lei making and face painting.


For the main event, they performed the Kahiko (ancient hula) and Tahiti tahiti (Tahitian dance), followed by a Hukilao dance lesson and limbo.
