Welcome Home Wednesday: Lilo and Stitch Theme Night

Wouldn't you love to be here?  It's a dream vacation for us to go to Disney's Aulani resort.  It may happen in the future.  For right now, the closest we've come is when our little 'Ohana had our Lilo and Stitch Theme Night!

My family loves "Lilo and Stitch."  The movie really surprised me with a great story and a fun soundtrack.  Add the beautiful Hawaiian setting and what more can you ask for in a Family Theme Night?

Here's what we did.

Of course, we have the movie to watch, some coconut bowls, and our picture from 'Ohana (back when our family was only the 3 of us).

The menu consisted of:

• Roasted Pigs in a Blanket
• Hawaiian Chicken Skewers
• Coconut Rice
• Tropical Fruit Platter

and to drink we had a juice blend which we drank out of coconut cups.

We bought some luau decorations from Party City to help set the mood.  Our daughter added her own touch by coloring picture print-outs from "Lilo and Stitch".

 

Of course, there were leis and grass skirts.

 

 



And we ate on beach towels.  After the movie there was hula dancing, (but sadly no pictures of that.)

For dessert...

 

Dole Whip Cupcakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can find the recipe we used HERE on the Pixie Crust blog.

We had to modify the recipe slightly due to time constraints.

Hopefully, we'll have reason to try making these cupcakes again!

Lilo and Stitch night was a blast.  We hope our ideas help inspire you to have some Hawaiian fun with your 'Ohana!

Until next time... Aloha!
