Dearly Beloved,
Our family would like to send heartfelt thanks and gratitude for the outpour of love, support and generosity that you have all bestowed upon Noah and us as we celebrated his First Birthday. It was an amazing event thanks to you all and we are still opening gifts!
We wish that all of you could have made it but thank you for sharing with us in this celebration from near and far! We truly have wonderful friends and much repayment to make in the years to come.
The party itself was quite a production! I believe we had guests upwards to 150 in attendance! I only wish I could have recorded David at the end of the day as we were processing the day's events; he said: "That was more stressful than our wedding day"!
And I would concur.
Nonetheless, things went smoothly (or we hope that it did).
For those of you who are not familiar with the traditions of the Dol Celebration, a number of items are set infront of the child. Each item symbolizes the child's future. On Noah's table we set out the following:
Baseball Bat
Baseball
Bible
Rice
A spool of thread
Pen
Notebook
Cash
Can you guess what Noah picked?
I was told that David smiled from ear to ear like a proud parent when Noah grabbed the ball and bat :).
Enjoy the pictures and once again, thank you all. We love you very much!
Dave, Grace & Noah
