I started planning Alex's 100 days celebration about the month before his 100 days. I started looking for venues since our house is not big enough to host many people. I asked our army band family members for suggestions and the Engle family offered their home to us for our son's celebration. I cannot express how grateful we are to them for doing this for us. So with many nights searching on naver.com (the Korean version of Google) and on pinterest, I successfully planned his Baek-Il. I couldn't possibly prepare a main course and traditional Korean foods by myself, so I just had a traditional table for Alex and a dessert table with some finger foods.
The cookies, cupcakes and the oreo cake was made by me (thanks to pinterest!). We bought the chocolate fountain just for this occasion and was a hit ^_^
It was Alex's nap time, so he wasn't very happy about sitting in a bumbo that was too small for his chubby legs. But he seemed to enjoy the feel of the rice cake on his feet. We didn't eat that part, only because the rice cake was huge and we ate maybe 1/6 of it. He must've been really tired because he fell asleep in arms of people he's never met before.
All the decorations, and his outfit, were sent from Korean by my parents since I couldn't get them from the states. The banner says "congratulations 100 days Alex". The table cloth is actually the cloth you make Korean dresses out of. I wish I could've gotten a Korean dress for him to wear, but you can only rent them.. they don't sell Korean dresses that small. Well, he gets to wear the Korean dress for his Dol (his first birthday) so it wasn't a biggie. I think my favorite is the cutouts of his face! I'm going to keep those out as decorations until Alex finds them creepy one day.
We waited many months to find the perfect occasion and company to break this open and we thought this was the perfect time and company. Honestly, I'm not much of a straight liquor drinker... and couldn't appreciate this $200+ bottle as much as I should have.
Alex's 100 days celebration was awesome and I'm so glad that our Army family were able to come celebrate with us.
