Henry's Adoption Party

On Saturday, Nov. 6, we celebrated Henry's adoption with a Korean party! We are fortunate that we live in an area that has several adoptive families so I invited them plus a few other friends and family members. Since Henry was on his way to becoming an American I wanted to honor his Korean roots and give everyone a little taste of some of the Korean food that I had enjoyed so much on my trips to Korea. Many children wore hanboks, there was a lot of Korean food, and Lydia, Trixie and I even performed a song for Henry. Then we showed the video Brent had made for Henry's first birthday and it was fun to see how excited Henry got when he saw himself on the screen. Poor Brent and his mom came down with that terrible stomach flu the morning of the party so they were banned from the party. :( Brent made one brief appearance at the party because I desperately wanted a family picture from the day. I made him promise not to touch or breathe on anybody. I have tons of pictures from the party ~ enjoy! (I'm wondering if any of my bloggy friends or dear friends in Korea recognize some of these people and children.)
