Mary Kenzie's Tol

Believe it or not...I am actually updating the blog!

Mary Kenzie turned 1 on July 16th. Riley woke up the morning of her birthday with a super high fever so our plans for celebrating that day were cancelled. We ended up celebrating Michael and Mary Kenzie's birthdays the following week with Michael's family.

Then last night we had Mary Kenzie's Tol (Korean celebration) and cookout with some friends and our families. We actually got to have a joint birthday party for Mary Kenzie and her cousin Laila who is 17 days younger than MK. It was a lot of fun!

During Mary Kenzie's Tol we had friends and family write out blessings and Bible verses to put in Mary Kenzie's scrapbook. Michael also prayed a special blessing over her. Then we had the Toljabee event. Mary Kenzie chose the Bible (signifying ministry) and then she went for the thread (long life) and the scissors (good with her hands) simultaneously.

It was a fun night and once again I felt so overwhelmed that God would allow us the privilege of having this sweet girl as our daughter and as a part of our family.
