American and Korean Birthday Celebrations!

Let the big celebration ensue......Aubrey is ONE!!!
We had our family party to celebrate the first year of Aubrey's life. We celebrate with both Korean and American customs. For the Korean custom, she dresses in her Hanbok and celebrates the Korean Tol. Aubrey is seated in front of a table with various object-pencils, money and thread. She is urged to pick an object from the table as it is believed the child's fortune can be foretold. If the child picks up money, she will be rich. If she picks up pencils, she will be smart. If she picks up the string, she will have a long life.

Aubrey picked up the........ Excited bout her choice.....

STRING!!!!
Looks like a long life for her! When Ava had her one year Tol she choose the pencil! Everyone got pictures with the birthday girl in front of her beautifully decorated table done by Harmony!


Aubrey didn't want to wear her hat, so Ava wore it. Ava also has her daddy's hanbok on from when he was little. Isn't that sweet! The theme of Aubrey's birthday was "Sweet as can Bee." Look at these precious cupcakes! She had a smash cake to match, but I forgot to take a picture in the midst of all of the chaos!
Our little present!

Politely reading her cards before opening the gifts!

After Ava fed her a couple of times, she got the hang of the cake enjoyed it! It was fun celebrating our big one year old!
