First Birthday

We celebrated his first birthday last Saturday. My parents sent such a cute gift. It is a book called All the Ways I Love You. It has my parents voices recorded in the book that plays as he turns the pages. We love it!

 

Vance served a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in South Korea. In South Korea, for a child's first birthday, they have a tradition of determining what they will do for their profession in life. They line up a series of items in front of the child, and based on whatever they choose, that is what they are destined to become! Vance thought it would be fun to do this for Linc's birthday, so we did. 

 

 We had three families over who are some of are really good friends (Pett's, Jensen's, and Woodland's). We would have loved to had more people over, but our apartment probably isn't large enough! Anyway, we had pizza, cake, and ice cream. We sang "Happy Birthday" to Lincoln, but I'm not sure what he thought of  it all. We had a blast though!
