We had Gabe's birthday party this past weekend and it was quite a party. We had an open house with family, friends, neighbors, blog friends, and lots o' kids. Gabe did amazingly well. He had a great time with all the playmates and attention. It definitely helped to be on his turf and that he's so comfortable with his grandparents and aunt for extra support.
Of course we had his Tol table with candy towers, fruit, cookies and cake. At about the midpoint of the party, he got fancied up in his beautiful hanbok (a gift from his foster family) to predict his future. We had put out a thread (long life), spoon (good cook), money (wealthy), ball (athlete), guitar (musician). He went right for the spoon. Good thing, cuz mommy and daddy need a good cook around here :) His second choice was the ball. Looks like we'll have a well coiffed athlete that can cook.
Thanks to everyone who made Gabe's birthday a special day!!
Now you may remember that I broke my camera last week, and sadly the new one did not come in time. So...here are a few from the day, with more to come when I get the rest from those that had working cameras.
