Gabe's camera is awesome! Even a photography novice like myself can take halfway decent images.Gabe and Risha took most of these but I snapped the ones during the cake-eating extravaganza.

| My mom and her friends cooked and prepped all morning. The food was delicious! The only way it could have been better is if my Auntie was here to cook - she makes the best Korean food. |
 |
| Boyd borrowed a traditional Korean outfit for his 1st birthday party. Since then, my mom's friend Yonsil sent him the most beautiful (and expensive) custom outfit, complete with hat and booties. Will have those photos later. |
 |
| Boyd had an array of symbolic items to choose from and he chose the thread (long life). Next he went for the money (success). Go Boyd! |

| "I am 1!" |

 |
| Two identical birthday cards! He received many generous gifts - toys, clothes and money for his savings account. |
 |
| His first birthday cake. I also made cupcakes and cake pops for everyone else. |
 |
| He wasn't quite sure what to make of this situation. |
 |
| Once he realized we were going to let him do whatever he wanted, it was GAME ON. |
 |
| Pretty dainty. No big time cake smashing like we expected. |
 |
| This was the largest piece he went for. I was worried about him sleeping later that night (since this was the most sugar he had EVER had) but he was fine. |
 |
| LOVE this photo. |

| Thanks for checking out the photos - quack quack! |
