We made it through our first birthday party!!! It was a wonderful day. We had family in from all over to help us celebrate.
Grace was an absolute angel. It is hard to believe our little girl is already a year old.

We tried to incorporate a little bit of Korean tradition with the birthday traditions that we have. The first birthday in Korean tradition is very important. The hanbok that Grace wore on Sunday was the trational Korean dress for first birthday celebrations. We also did a small ceremony in which Grace chose an object that is supposed to predict her future. We place 4 items in front of Grace.
Scissors--she will be talented with her hands
Thread--long life
Rice--wealthy
Book--scholar
She chose the scissors. We will have to see what she grows up to be, maybe a concert pianist??
It was alot of fun watching Grace eat her cake. Of course it was pink. At first she was just picking at it. But with a little help she put both hands in it.
Fun! Fun!
Can't wait until next year.
