One amazing party....

Yesterday we went to the grandest 1st birthday party ever...it was like a wedding! Miss Ella Townsend got to celebrate her big day in style. She is part Korean, and in the culture, you go big for the one year old celebration. Luckily, all of us got to partake in amazing authentic Korean food (and open bar at 2pm on a Sunday, NICE!). There was also a puppet show and mime for the kids, and awesome puppy-shaped floral centerpieces. Here is me and Kayla amongst the crowd of guests.
In Korean tradition, the year old baby selects certain items that represent how they will fare in the future, i.e. pencils represent educational achievement and money represents material success. Ella's spread was unbelievable!

Sadly, I didn't even get a single picture of the birthday girl. She was so busy greeting guests and taking part in the festivities. But, we sure had fun celebrating her in any case!

As you can see by the picture, Greg's good friend Adam had LOTS of fun. He didn't want to leave the party but it was clearly over when the waitstaff took all of our plates and drinks and started vaccuuming the ballroom. As a consolation, we let him take home the balloons and floral dog arrangement.
