Party Recap

I chose the theme because wishes really do come true. Even if I'm a single mom, I got the thing I've wished for all my life- a beautiful healthy baby girl- and I couldn't have asked for more :)

There are a few things missing:
The walkway of Stars that say, 'Wish Upon A Star With E' into the building.
The front area had a dragon statue (Year of the Dragon) with multi-colored blocks that spelled out Elizabeth and a big picture of her. A wall full of glittery stars and 12 huge pictures on top of stars that show E growing up month by month. Another wall full of Wish sayings with huge letters E.MA and a poster of a little girl in a pink tutu holding a teddy bear wearing a tutu.

  • Activities / Games

    First birthdays (돌 or dol) are important in Korea because, in the old times, not every baby lived to see this day. The main event is the doljabi, when E chooses an item that will share a glimpse into her future. I chose the following items: yarn, computer mouse, money, rice, pencil, microphone
