Happy 1st Birthday to Jude! He is such a fun, joyful-spirited little boy. This little guy has faced some challenges during the early part of his journey in life, overcoming obstacles in regards to his hearing; however, he is most certainly defeating everything that comes his way. Jude is a happy little guy, on-the-go... He brings a smile to your face with the joy that he exudes. Jude had a great birthday celebration with a house full of friends and family. His parents, family members, and friends put alot of time and energy preparing for his special day. There was no shortage of food or special touches. Not only was it his first birthday but it was his first birthday that included some Korean traditions...take a peak.

Jude really enjoyed the balloons outside.

Look at this HAPPY BOY!!!

The Family

Jude & his mother Lena

This was a game that was played at the party: A guessing game
What will Jude pick??? Guests were invited to make predictions about what Jude would first select when presented with a table that included all of the objects noted above. Each individual item has a meaning if selected by the birthday boy. The 1st and 2nd items he chooses are said to be of the utmost importance for those items are predictions for his future.

Jude selected the soccer ball and drum. From these items it is predicted that he will be successful in the field of athletics as well as in the world of music.

He is getting a little help getting dressed in his traditional attire...and might I add he is looking very sweet in the process.

Precious! He looks like such a big boy in this photo.

All dressed and ready!

Jude, you are a joy! Your parents waited a long time for you and it seems as though you have certainly blessed their lives and will continue to do so with your wonderful personality and cheerful demeanor. You are a precious blessing.
