Cousin Ryan turns 1!

Well, he was practically just born and now look what happened!  We aren't really going to be able to call him "Baby Ryan" much longer.  Ali and Steve hosted the best party to celebrate Ryan's birthday; the cutest  Ali-sewn buntings, amazing Greek food, and Grandmere's serious design skills on everything from invites to cupcake flags.  They had a "real" photographer there to catch each detail and I cannot wait to see those pictures.  In the mean time, a few of my own.

A toast to friends and family from a grateful mother.  Beautiful.  

I am so proud of this girl and who she has become this year.  She is one of my very, very best friends.  

Auntie Ali is a ridiculous cook.  Did the boys eat her homemade stuffed grape leaves, orzo, hummus...no.  They had cake and lemonade for dinner.  Oh, and gummy candy lobsters.  

I really have great in-laws and that is quite a blessing.  

Happy Birthday, Ryan!  We love you so!
