"Sang il Chook ha Hamneeda"

or, "Happy Birthday to you."



With cuz's KK and Will 

Givin a little love to mim

The other cuz's, minus two (boo hoo). This is Landry, Jones, Rinny, Jude, and Creed.....we hope to get a full out cousin pic with all the cousins from that side in their hanboks soon.



Toljabee table. This is something that they traditionally do on a child's first birthday in Korea. This is where a child is placed at a table and they choose from several things that are placed out on the table for them. What they choose helps "predict" what they will choose as their profession in their future. We did change it up a little bit and added a verse with each item that we will be praying over Jude's life. 

For Jude's choices we had: arrows-warrior, harmonica-musician,rice cake-wealth, ruler-good with his hands, Bible-man of God, Flash Light- Light of the world. 

Jude chose (totally on his own, even though Creed was really pushing the Bible) the flashlight first: 
Matthew 5:14 "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden."
and second he chose the rice cake (wealth). Matthew 6:19-20 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and dust destroy and where thieves break in and steal but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal."
The infamous cake pictures...how cute is this that Jude was feeding his bub bub?!?!?

Yes, he insisted on using a fork.....it was his birthday for heaven's sake so I gave the boy a fork, of course. 
The true reality of what eating the cake looked like..how could this be?!?!?! What?!?!?!?! How could you not be fully enthralled (like mommy is) while eating an entire cake by yourself?!??!?!? 
Okay, maybe this isn't so bad....
Straight to the bathtub after the cake attack...
Jude in his birthday suit all clean and hangin' with dada....

Happy Birthday, Jude!
I love the cool Korean traditions you put in...the table thing sounds really fun.
Also, I love what you're wearing in the pic of you, Micah, and Jude.
And finally, is it me, or does Creed look JUST like his Granddaddy?
