Happy Thanksgiving everyone! One thing that I’m am SO thankful for is this family: Al, Taya and little Leo. This family is one of the hardest-working, kind, funny and downright lovable families that I’ve ever known, and it was so wonderful to be able to be up at their cabin for Leo’s first birthday.
Leo is part Korean, and it is traditional that there is a big celebration on the first birthdays for Korean children. So Leo was a star that day! Aren’t he and his mama beautiful?
Leo had a bunch of other friends along for the celebration! Many of his little guests were so cute!
Taya’s father had a very touching blessing that he gave to Leo and the family.
Also, as tradition would have it, the child gets many items placed in front of him that signifies different things in life. For example, if they pick rice, they will never go hungry. If they pick money, they’ll be rich! Leo got the smarts when he picked up the calculator!!!
Next was the cake. At first Leo wasn’t too sure…
But it looks like he likes it!
Oh yeah, he likes cake!
Now for the gifts! Leo was literally showered with presents!
More of Leos’ friends!
What a fantastic day. Leo, you are so cute and are getting to be such a big boy! We’re so proud of you and are excited to see you grow and grow!
Love,
Kassy :)
