Mio got to attend a friend’s birthday party for the first time this Saturday when her friend Jinwoo turned one year old! We had a great time celebrating Jinwoo’s first birthday with his family and friends.
Taking a look at all the adorable photos from Jinwoo's first year.
The birthday boy with his grandma.
Mio with her signature pouty face, about to cry. (I think she was alarmed by all the people.)
Getting lots of love from Grandma and the other ladies at the party.
Daddy taking good care of Mio.
Jinwoo is twice Mio's current age!
As part of the Korean tradition of doljanchi celebrating the birthday of a one year old, Jinwoo dressed up in Korean attire and chose an object that would foretell his future.
Objects for Jinwoo to choose from, which will foretell his destiny.
Jinwoo looking oh-so-handsome in his Korean traditional attire.
Kayo explaining the doljanchi tradition.
Jinwoo walking over to choose his object.
See what he picked in the video below!
He chose a calculator! Meaning he will be a mathematician or scientist!
The Japanese have a similar tradition... I wonder what Mio would pick?
Jinwoo's cousin Emme... the most adorable three-year-old!
Mio and I while playing Bingo.
The birthday cake!
Jinwoo with his new Cookie Moster doll, one of his birthday gifts!
Jinwoo likes to clap these days... it's the cutest thing ever!
The older kids attempting to bring down the pinata.
Mio was too young for the pinata, so she stayed indoors sitting pretty.
Daddy's Girl.
John and Megumi are expecting a baby girl around Christmas time! Can't wait for their little one to arrive!
Snapping a quick family photo.(We don't have very many of the three of us, since one of us is usually behind the lens.)
Mio was pooped after all the partying. She passed out just before we left the birthday party.
Special thanks to Jinwoo and his family for having us over for his first birthday party! We had a wonderful time, and we can’t wait to see all the wonderful ways in which Jinwoo will continue to grow. 🙂
