Today is our sweet baby girl's first birthday! I can't believe we have already had her home with us for three big celebrations - her first Thanksgiving, her first Christmas, and her 1st birthday today!
We celebrated with a traditional Korean Tol - it is a birthday celebration that is of special significance for Koreans. If you'd like to read more - check out this link....

We have had her Toljabee, and prayers were said privately by mommy this morning. She got to wear the beautiful hanbok that her foster parents gave to us - and she looked SOOOO precious!!
I also wrote her a letter that I will give to her on her 18th birthday - all about her first birthday and how much she means to us, how special she is, and how much we love her!
She will get the American side of her birthday when she wakes up from her afternoon nap - turkey for dinner (which is her favorite food) followed by a homemade carrot cake with cream cheese icing and of course ---- presents!!!
Thank you to all of us that wished us a beautiful day - every day with her is beautiful - but today was certainly extra, extra important and special!
