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? 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 which soon turned into
cries. 
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!
