Jaden's BIG DAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JADEN!

Jaden is an ONE-YEAR old now!

This time last year, we were in Florida and welcomed the newest member of the Kim Family.
What a joy and blessing he is!











Look how big he is now, and still a cutie...













Here's what happened for his birthday...When a baby turns ONE, it is very significant in the Korean family tradition because it signifies their strength for survival!

Jaden's birthday was held at the Fort Lee Hilton Hotel on December 18th.
Decorations were amazing, food was tasty, and we all throughly enjoyed the cake!


Cake time!













Let's blow out the candles!














In traditional Korean Dol, Jaden had to pick 3 out of 5 items in front of him- yarn, rice, books, pencil, money, which determines what his interest/skill will be. But GOD IS SOVEREIGN and Jaden is called to whatever God has called him to, but this is for fun! He picked the book first, then the yarn, lastly the pencil. He's going to be a smarty!















Jaden also had a mini party with a few of his buddies... the theme was 'Chicken Little'!





We missed Owen, Hailey and Caitlyn!

WE LOVE YOU JD!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JD! I can't believe he is one already. I love the picture of the two of you at the studio. It's great to see how your life in Jersey is already full of friends and community. Oh and Congrats to you and Won for surviving the first year of parenthood.
