Though you are 14 hours ahead of us and probably had your big celebration while we slept last night, your family and a few friends partied it up today while you slept : ) You are now 1 years old and that much closer to coming home. It is bittersweet to not have had you here to celebrate with us, but hopefully you got to celebrate with your Foster Family in the traditional Korean 1st Birthday celebration or "Doljanchi." These are beautiful memories you will get to keep with you forever and hopefully share with us through pictures....just as we took pictures of our party to share with you!
Love Mommy, Daddy, Family, and Friends

| The Dojabi Board for guests to guess which item Benjamin will choose. Tradition says this item dictates his future. Go hammer (= strength)!! |

| Our Hanbok cake to represent the traditional clothing worn at a first birthday celebration. |

| The Doljabi tickets are cast and everyone's votes are in for what Benjamin will chose. We also placed wishes for him on the back of our tickets. To be shared with him when he arrives home : )  |
