 
 
 this month is such a 
special one....it's 
birthday time for you! my brother 
garrett turned 
19 yesterday; as did my little nephew 
talbot! we joined bot-dawg at 
peter piper for lunch, then had dinner at my 
mom's in honor of 
garrett. garrett and i will always pick a 
home-cooked meal for our 
birthday dinner. this year g picked 
tuna cassarole. sounds sick, but is oh 
so good. one of my 
favorites as well. 
 
 

 the two little 
mother hens holding sweet baby 
naelani...the newest member to the 
nagai family. another blonde hair, blue eyed 
hawaiian! soon we'll be out numbered!
 who's birthday?
 who's birthday? another one of my mom's 
famous cakes. she always makes the best 
birthday cakes....i don't think she's ever missed. she get's so 
creative with them. my siblings all pick her 
"karen's rum cake" w/ pudding and strawberries in the middle. and yes, we 
ate it after my 
posse layered it with 
saliva ;)
 
 
 laughs
 laughs which soon turned into 
cries. 

 garrett
 garrett is one of the most 
creative, hard working, talented, perfectionists i know; much like a few other members of the 
gruninger family ;) he loves to 
hug-lol, and i am so not the hugging type (he did get a birthday hug). as mele said on her blog...he may come across as a 
hard a, but he really is a big 
softie! we love you gar bear and hope you had the best 
19th birthday!
