Turning one is a big deal in Polynesian Families....or so I've been told. I've seen a lot of Hawaiian kids having these huge parties with bands and music and feasts all for a little kid. I didn't want to spend heaps of money but everybody knows and loves Finau so I knew we had to do something even if it was just our family. Once everyone found out he was turning one they all volunteered to help out. There were so many people that helped so I don't want to exclude anyone but I do want to say thanks to Uncle Viliami for blessing Finau. He always takes care of Filipo since he's so far from home and he's the family member that we live closest too. When Finau was born he let us have a feed at his home and we're so lucky that he takes care of Finau the same way he does Filipo. I always want to thank all those that came and brought Finau gifts. He loved the toys and his dad loved the money so a big MALO 'AUPITO to all those that came! Like Filipo told me, "WE EITHER GO BIG OR DON'T HAVE ANYTHING AT ALL" That's basically the reason we had a big feed and it was nice spending time with all our friends and family. We love you Finau Leka and we're so lucky to have been blessed with a son like you. You're definitely the highlight of our day and our life, we love you heaps!!
