We celebrated our niece, Betty's first birthday on Saturday in Charlotte. George unfortunately awoke the night before with croup sending everyone into a tale spin. Lesley called all the party guests that morning and gave them the option to come or stay home, so needless to say a lot of the little ones didn't get in on the birthday excitement. The party was fantastic though with lots of family and great food! Thank goodness, Grant never showed any symptoms of croup, I kept thinking each night, "Is this going to be the night he wakes up barking like a seal??" Poor George was not himself and Grant couldn't understand why George couldn't play with him. He kept asking, "George go night night?" "George hurt?" Betty on the other hand was jubilant on her big day!
Lesley made the cutest cupcakes in ice cream cones, they were a hit!
Having a boy, I delighted in all the pink, love these seersucker napkins
Lesley made all the poms that were used on tabletops and hanging from the ceiling as decoration
Grant and I with Aunt Lesley and his baby cousin, Betty
Grant loves their lab, Drake, which is the sweetest, most gentle dog you could ask for
Grant and Emily, distant cousins and a month a part. Check out the photos from the last time these two were together, they were just one and two months old. My how they have grown! Click HERE
Time to sing "Happy Birthday to You!" Lesley and Lanier with Betty
"Hmmm, this is good!"
Betty making a mess
and when it was all over, she had eaten the entire thing!
Grant loved his cupcake, it was so funny to watch the kids with these, the majority of the group didn't know whether to lick them or bite into them.
Later in the day, George and Grant getting ready for the oyster roast Lesley and Lanier hosted for 100 of their closest friends. Yep, it was a busy, crazy day but sooo much fun!
