A personal touch is always appreciated!
Jackson is the elder son of my close friends.
His mommy Kimmy is Caucasian and daddy Denny, Asian.
In Korean culture, 100th day and first birthdays are huge deals,
often resulting in fancy celebrations at restaurants, hotels...
too extravagant for my taste.
But i hear it comes from the olden times in korea,
when babies did not quite make past certain age,
because too many of them were unhealthy.
If they made past a 100 days, they had a big celebration,
if they made past a year, even bigger celebration.
Ok, so that was a brief and abbreviated lesson on one of korean tradition.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Going back to Jackson, so his first birthday was celebrated Korean style
(without too much hoopla, though),
so i thought I'd be fitting to make a card of him wearing an emperor's garment,
since he is his parents' little prince.
His parents are very much into photography
and they take their own photos of Jackson.
I had a hard time choosing the best pictures,
but i made a photo memorabilia of Jackson's first year,
each panel representing each of the first 12 months of his life.
