After we got back from Green Bay, we had to hurry and get ready for Ray San's 1st Birthday!! It turned out to be a great day. The weather was perfect, there was good food and about 70 of Ray San's family and friends. Grandma Pat & Grandpa Ray let us use their home and it was just perfect!!
We hired our wedding photographer (Jan Domek of I DO weddings) to document this special occasion for us. While there, she also did some some 1 year portraits for us.
There are so many great shots that it is really hard to choose my favorites. Here are a bunch!!
Cake & cupcake "smash." I decided to use a cupcake for Ray San to "smash" just because I wasn't sure how people would feel about a kid touching the cake they were about to eat. It worked out perfect for us!!
