35th Birthday Bash

Every year on my birthday, mom and I would take the day off of work and have a fun bonding day. We would go to the movies, go shopping, get mani's and pedi's, go to lunch, and whatever else sparked our fancy. It was something I looked forward to all year. This year, however, that wasn't going to happen and wasn't sure how the day would go. Yet despite being 6000 miles from home in the middle of the South Pacific, Lisa made sure I had a great birthday. I got a pedicure, we went out to lunch, saw a movie and had an awesome 80's party that night at Ben and Emily's place in Coconut Point. We did a little shopping and I found all sorts of dayglow jewelry, a rockin' shirt and even tights with lace on the bottom! All right here on the island if you can believe it. Lisa decided to come dressed as a Cabbage Patch Doll. Note the pig tails. Sweet. Like we were like totaly set for an awesome 80's party. Below are some of the boys chillin' like a villian...Steve, Erick, Evan, Ben and NuNu (standing up).

More folks enjoying the evening on the deck. From left to right around the table are Emily, Kiwi Sara, Oscar, Haz-Matt, Kayla, Alyssa, Julia (hidden behind Ned), and Ned.

A few brave souls actually dressed up in the 80's theme. LTM as a Cabbage Patch Doll, Evan in his Def Leopard island tour T-shirt, and me and Steve all decked out.

Here is Evan's tour T-shirt. The stops on the tour were priceless:

Check out Steve's vans and his peg-legged jeans:

Julia, LTM and Ned hanging out on the deck. Check out LTM's blue eyeshadow. Awesome.

Aaron and Naomi came a bit later after the library Christmas party so they were dressed in another theme. Here is Lady Naomi, otherwise known as the Snow Princess:

And Aaron, her little helper:

A totally awesome dance party broke out. Here are Lisa and Emily taking a turn on the floor to Cindi Lauper's Time After Time:

LTM and Steve rockin' out to some Depeche Mode and Ben in the background loading up the queue:

You can call this Lisa's exorcist dance move. Steve isn't sure what's going on:

Ned and Lisa playing a little grab-ass:

And of course Naomi, LTM and Emily singing and dancing the night away right into the camera:
