Ethan Turns One with a Dr. Seuss-themed Bash!

Laura Ritchie from Events in the City is one of the most creative wedding coordinators out there, so I knew that when it came to her son, Ethan’s, one year old birthday party, it was going to be pretty epic.  That woman gives every detail so much thought, creativity and dedication, it exhausts me just to think about it, and Saturday’s party did not disappoint.  Every detail reflected the Dr. Seuss theme including the Cat in the Hat propped on Ethan’s cake, the Thing 1 and Thing 2 cupcakes for the kids, and the Green Eggs and Ham-my snack foods!

And here is the adorable birthday boy, Mr. Ethan!  This is one happy and laid-back one year old.  He smiled his way through the entire day, taking all of the guests, gifts, and sugar in stride.  And he didn’t mind the camera at all.  :)

What a cutie!

Before the chaos of children, presents, and colorful icing descended upon the house, we had to do a few portraits of the birthday boy.  Here he is with his parents, Stuart and Laura:

We have a small Maryn-Grey series here. They were pretty cute during the present opening, especially with Maryn wanting to help her mom record the gifts and gift-givers.
