My niece turned one, and the whole family trekked to Torrance for the party. Click to my blog to see the whole slideshow! Also- here's a picture of my mom and me in our traditional Korean dresses. I got mine last year in Korea, and wore it for the first time at the party. It came with bloomers, a petticoat type of thing, shoes, and a matching purse! Harold says he doesn't see the point of the shoes since the dress basically goes all the way to the floor. It's too bad that I have no real occasions to wear it. I should just wear it around the house now and then for novelty.
Happy Birthday to your niece! Cute kid. :)

Great photos! Soooo, what did she pick? Book? Pencil/pen? Money?

I love your Korean dress. Good color choice! Yohana is so pretty. How did you guys get her to keep the flowers on her head??? :)

My girls both have Korean dresses and I have been wanting to take their pictures in them. However, I do not know how to tie the front of it. If you know how to do this, could you share that info with me?

Gorgeous! You, mom, and the dresses! Thanks for sharing these photos with us.

I love both your hanboks. I'm really not super "motherland" and all, but I was once in a Korean-owned deli and my non-Korean friend and I commented on all the Korean candy in the place and the owner (this oooold Korean man) looks up and points to me and slowly says, "ooh...Ko-ree-ah." And at times, I kinda get what he was saying.

Pretty hanboks. : )
(I added you to my vox neighbourhood, but maybe you don't update your blog there much...it's too bad. I'll keep you in my 'hood though in case you ever come back!)

You and your mom look awesome in the hanboks. So, the shoes...were they the traditional pointy rubber deals?
Can't wait to get mine when we go to Korea in 2009.
Thanks for sharing!
