On Saturday, Hannah had her big
Traditional Korean Birthday bash down in Portland. The first birthday is a very big deal in Korean culture.

She wore her traditional Korean dress (and was such a good sport considering she felt terrible and the dress was very scratchy)! A big part of Tol is the
setting of the table.
The first thing she grabbed off the table was a pencil. A pencil represents knowledge. Yay! Hannah is going to be smart! Next she grabbed a small bag filled with money - wealth! Great job Hannah! A destiny of wealth and knowledge! There was A LOT of food to share and many guests that dropped by to eat and bestow gifts (mostly money) to Hannah.

After *many* pictures and a nap, we were off to the Bo Kwan Sah Buddist Temple. There we celebrated again with lots of food, guests, pictures, and gifts! Thanks, thanks, thanks! Thanks to everyone to helped - the party was great! As you can see, we couldn't get Hannah to smile, but we took lots of pictures anyway.
