Cindy was out of town for the week leading up to Tyler and Cameron’s joint bday celebration, so the original luau party plan was uncertain. At the last minute, though, with Lola’s help, we managed to pull it off.
Mom provided tablecloth, festive plates, and decorations, and she even got this adorable little hula outfit for Cameron (and a grass skirt for me, too)!
So, we made Aloha Sweet Potatoes, adobo tofu, vegan “Maui” burgers (Bocas marinated in Soy Vay Terikyaki sauce), coconut pudding triangles, toasted coconut cupcakes and rambutan cupcakes.
Cameron got to eat a toasted coconut cupcake with coconut glaze (instead of coffee buttercream frosting!) for her special bday treat! She devoured it….
And, check out Tyler’s cake! Teddy Grahams on fruit roll-up towels and some in Lifesaver Gummy swim rings in the blue jello pool! I’m going to do this one vegan some day…!
We had such a great day just hanging out with the family. It wasn’t quite warm enough for swimming, but it wasn’t too cold to be outside either!
Dylan took time out from playing with his cousins to give Cameron a birthday kiss (yes, he really is such a sweet and loving brother!)!
Then it was back to playing with stomp rockets with Jason and Tyler!
So many more pictures are on flickr. They’re worth a look!
