Birthday “Dol” Celebration in Carlsbad

The “L” Family | In-Home in Carlsbad

Celebrating your little ones first birthday is so special. The milestones, accomplishments, survival of sleepless nights…it’s a day to celebrate for everyone. And let me tell you, the enthusiasm and love poured into this girls’ first birthday day cannot be matched.

And, on another sweet note, you know those people you just immediately connect with that have a contagious positive energy? Well, that happened here. The moment this sweet family reached out to me to document their beautiful daughter’s birthday celebration, I was elated. They were overjoyed to explain the Korean “Dol” traditions they would be incorporating, as well as all the special components built into the activities planned for the little ones. This family had my heart. The thoughtfulness of an interactive family music class from the talented Blossom Tree Music, a plethora of balloon creations, and irreplaceable face painting all surrounded by the loving energy of friends and family, a memorable and entertaining party for all.

Doljabi: A Korean tradition for babies on their first birthday. Each item placed before baby represents a different path in life. The first item picked by the baby predicts his or her future.

And sweet Sophia picked a stethoscope, symbolizing a career in healthcare, perhaps a future doctor. Get ready world, she’s here to make a big difference in the world. Happy birthday girl!
