It is unbelievable how fast this past year went. Dominic is a whole year old and officially a toddler even though he'll still be the baby until his sister gets here :). We celebrated the happy occasion at Grandma and Grandpa T's. We had a BBQ with the family and then opened presents - it was quiet and simple - and a good thing because Dominic was exhausted. He took a horrible nap that morning since we are still working on siding the house and poor Nic was spent by the time his party started. But, as always, he was happy to see his aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and even Grandma and Grandpa Great (My grandparents) were able to come to the party.
Dominic loved his BBQ lunch but was a mess by the time we opened presents. He did not care one bit about trying to open anything and was crying due to being exhausted and the center of attention which he normally loves. Thankfully his Lee cousins were more than happy to help with the unwrapping. We managed to sing happy birthday and then cousin Eliza blew out the candle for him :)
Dominic didn't get to eat his cake until after his nap - but I think it still tasted pretty good. Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated the special day!
