1st Birthday Party

So, finally, we had Emilia's first birthday celebration on Sunday. I think it was a good party but of course there are few things we missed - like video recording the event and a nice formal picture of Emilia at the head table. Well, it's all in our memory so we will have to verbally pass down the story to Emilia instead of showing her the whole video of it.

As for the Doljabi, she picked MONEY. It's funny, because at home, when I tried a mock Doljabi, she chose Pencils 4 times out of 5. For some reason, for the real Doljabi, the little purse attracted her and she chose money. So, she will hopefully live a wealthy life. : )

We had 36 guests including 6 babies and toddlers in a small banquet room at a Korean restaurant. It wasn't a huge party compared to other Korean 1st birthday parties but we were so grateful this many friends came to see  Emilia.

I don't have too many pictures of her.... but here are a few. By the way, she was such a trooper. During the 3 hour party, she didn't cry at all. Didn't fuss. She was in the arms of so many different people. She seemed to enjoy the time too. She really was a good baby!
