This little guy turned one last Friday. I cannot believe it has been a year. It seems like yesterday that he was born. In the short time he has been with us, he has brought so much joy to our lives. He is smart, handsome, and hilarious! He is stubborn and full of personality. He hates to sleep and take naps, but loves to laugh!
We all headed to Raleigh this past weekend for a fun-filled birthday weekend! I was in charge of decorations and helping Bethany cook. There weren't a lot of kids coming, so we turned Lee's table into their play station. The red chairs were courtesy of my mother via Pottery Barn. I know Lee will get great use out of these in the years to come. He is obsessed with balloons, so we tied one to each chair. We made little gift boxes for the other two kids (filled with bubbles and a ball). Heidi, Rob's mom, painted the kids' names on little pumpkins for them to take home.
Bethany and the birthday boy! Decked out in his Polo gear.
Gift opening time was a bit overwhelming for such a little guy. He looked at amazement at all the toys, but at the end of the day, was still enamored with the Ba Ba; the balloon.

We kept the food delicious, but easy. Bethany made spinach and artichoke dip, chili con queso, and goat cheese and sun dried tomato dip.
Bethany whipped up this Black Bean and Cumin Soup. Which paired well with the cornbread muffins.
I made Ina Garten's Chicken Chili.
Lee had a homemade, smash cupcake. The adults ate almond cake courtesy of Edible Art.
He loves to share when he is eating..... I wasn't as interested in taking a bite this time. :)
I am so proud to call this little man my nephew and can't wait to watch him grown up.
