Korean dol – first birthday

Skylar had a traditional korean dol for her first birthday. That day the temperature was up around 105 and we had been going through one of the hottest weeks of the summer. When we got to the restaurant the temperature was hot. We were setting up and finalizing and we were all sweating, or glistening in the case of the women, and I turned down the thermostat in the room hoping it would cool off soon.

No luck, the AC went out and we wrapped up early, with temperatures topping 80 in the restaurant. Sklyar worked up a pretty good sweat as well and I was happy to see that she made it through the day happy and intact. This is why they have a dol at one year old – if you make it this far, chances are good that you’ll make it to adulthood 🙂

    A wonderful day!! It was so nice to meet Susan’s family. We felt so welcomed and had a wonderful time. Yes, it was Hot….making the day even more memorable! 🙂

    Skylar was darling in both her outfits. Horace and I enjoyed being part of a Korean First Birthday Celebration. With Michael and Susan as parents, watching Skylar make a beeline for the 20 dollar bill was no surprise! She will be healthy, wealthy and wise!

    Pleae bring Skylar to visit soon!

    Love,
    Nana and PapaD
