Whew! We threw Tristan a traditional Korean first birthday. Traditionally children mortality was high, so if they made it to their first birthday it was cause for celebration! Another high note is their 100 day...
I was lucky enough to have a teacher-friend help me out. I am very interested in learning more about my heritage and be able to teach my children about it. We made bulgolgi, which is like a Korean BBQ, kimchee, cucumber salad, seaweed and of course rice. We also made a traditional rainbow rice cake... which was a lot of work! But also had some American finger foods also. We had a ton of friends and family over to celebrate with us. We got Tristan a traditional boys hanbok also... SUPER cute.
I will post some pics soon. But we were very excited to do this and be able too!
