Numna turned 90 this year we couldn't let it pass by like any other birthday because, well, it isn't just any other birthday! Not many people get to celebrate their 90th, so when one does, they ought to do it BIG! We decided on a luau theme because one thing my grandmother has always wanted to do was visit Hawaii. And if you know my grandma, you know bright colors and flowers are her thing!
We had to postpone the party a week due to her fall (two weeks prior), and when she showed up, she looked great! We ordered her a real orchid lei all the way from the islands and also had a few polynesian dancers come and put on a show for her. If she can't go to Hawaii, may as well bring it to her!

September 26th was Numna's actual birthday so we tried our best to make being stuck in a rehab facility not so bad!
