Now I know that Carol's party for her daughter was nothing compared to the parties people do here for their one-year-olds. Here is an example:

BYOB
This baby's mama, who is my co-worker, told me that she expects -- you'll never believe how many people -- for this birthday party: EIGHT HUNDRED! That's right, 800 people.
I don't think I even KNOW 800 people, let alone know them well enough to provide a party for them for my baby's birthday.
WOW! Hawaiians sure do know how to have fun!
Incidently, my friend Carol explained where this elaborate party thing came from. She says that traditionally in the Philippines, a large number of babies did not live to see their first birthday, so when they did, it was cause for great celebration. 'Makes sense to me.

When I saw the title of this post I thought it would be about Ashlyn! Here party was nothing like that. I don't think people even invite 800 people to their weddings, that is crazy!
I knew you would think it was about Ashlyn and I guess it should have been!
