Haidyn's Moana Birthday

This is the first birthday of her's that we got to celebrate in our home. It was such a relief not to worry about booking a place in advance for her day. Though our space is small that didn't stop us from celebrating Haidyn's birthday Moana style-her recent obsession. This is the first year that she actually got to choose the theme of her birthday.  Btw, finding Moana anything was not as easy as you would think. We decorated our home luau like and our buffet was equipped with all the fixings of her favorite Filipino breakfast foods. Because let's be real who doesn't love breakfast? Big hit of the day was definitely the fruit pizza  that doubled as her birthday cake. 

Haidyn loved getting dressed up as Moana . We knew that it would be inevitable that she would assume that she was indeed Moana and no longer respond to Haidyn. She was not shy at all to pose with you for a quick selfie if you asked her ;)  She surrounded herself with her Maui, Pua and Moana dolls all while we watching Moana for everyone that hadn't seen the movie yet. Of course, most of our family had watched it and had no problem watching it yet again with the birthday girl. 

We packed our tiny home with as many people as we could and in turn our home was filled with nothing but love and joy for our girl.  I'm still in disbelief that our girl is three. She's definitely no longer my baby girl as she loves to remind me daily now.  I'm sure that her birthday requests and themes will be get crazier as she grows older, but this birthday was my favorite yet.
