My dear friend Aysia from college is having a baby this spring. The girls who are still in Hawaii decided we should throw her a party on Oahu to celebrate! This was the first time I was seeing Aysia with her baby bump. She looks adorable and has the cutest bump ever. We had the party at Jansen's place in the backyard. We decorated when we were supposed to be at church. Aysia didn't really want to go to the singles ward pregnant so it worked out perfectly to have that time to decorate. Heather did an amazing job with the balloon arch. She sure whipped it up so fast. She also crocheted flower placemats for everyone! We had charcuterie, lilikoi lemon cookies, cake, pink lemonade, and purple sweet potato salad. All of Aysia's favorite things. We enjoyed chatting and catching up with one another. Aysia is going to name her little girl Ivy.
We decided to shower her with some gifts for herself. She already has been given a ton of baby stuff so we gave her some fun things that she might need when the baby comes. The night ended with painting! We wanted to do an activity with all of us but because Aysia can't hike, walk, or do any tours we decided that painting would be the perfect activity. We were guided by a video that taught us how to mix colors, what stroke to use, and how to layer the colors on the painting. It was so fun seeing everyone's paintings come together. All of ours turned out a little different based on our personalities. Aysia said she was going to hang it in her baby's room. I love that all of us have the same picture hung up somewhere in our place.
The rest of the weekend consisted of watching The Bachelor, shopping, eating, beaching, and enjoying the island. I also spent some time with Kaiwi and Kapono. They are the cutest kids. I Sure, do love these girls of mine. We have so many fun memories together on the island. We love getting together to celebrate big milestones with each other.
