an alalafaga is when a family gathers together to give thanks to God for one who has returned home from a hospital. so my mommy and daddy's families got together to thank God for my mommy and i coming home healthy from the hospital. my grammy and uncle decided to have some fun with this and connect a family shower to it. some of my mommy's kids (from school) showed up as you will also see below.
we got together to have a family service, enjoyed a lot of food, fun and fellowship. my parents had a pig because that is something my grand-daddy would've wanted had he still been alive. of course grandma and grandpa mays were there. my parents wouldn't have had it any other way. these two just enjoy partying.
