Lesley Murphy Throws Election-Themed Party for Her Daughter’s 1st Birthday: ‘Vote for Lily’
Happy birthday!
Bachelor Nation fans first met Lesley Murphy on Season 17 of “The Bachelor,” and she returned to our screens for “Bachelor Winter Games.”
Since her time on the shows, Lesley has kept fans updated with her life, including motherhood, her relationship, travel, and more on social media.
Lesley and her husband Alex Kavanagh share 2-year-old daughter Nora and welcomed their second baby girl, Lily James, last year.
Last week, the mom of two shared the exciting news that Lily had started walking just shy of her first birthday.
And now, the Bachelor Nation star has taken to Instagram to share snapshots from Lily’s election-themed party for her first birthday.
Next to photos from the day, Lesley wrote, “Vote for Lily🗳️as she enters her first term as a 1 year old!”
Lesley shared all the party details, including custom lawn signs, festive decorations, customized outfits, and a red, white, and blue cake.
She wrote, “Our girl is 1! Her party at Campaign HQ (our house🙃) was SO much fun! Polls opened at 4pm (the happiest hour) and she was the biggest joy all day long with a huge smile on her face!”
Lesley’s friends and family attended the party and, with it being an election year, she felt the theme couldn’t be more perfectly timed.
“The theme was pretty timely and perfect, and obviously she gets our vote every day,” she shared, “Thanks to all our family and friends for the love.”
The Bachelor Nation star also reflected on the last year with her youngest daughter and listed all of the wonderful things she loves about Lily.
She said, “Madame President, you are the biggest gift to our family. I love the way your smile reaches your eyes and crinkles your nose, how you find me in any/every room, how you’re SO proud of yourself with each passing milestone, the way you wrestle with dad and hold your own with your sister, and how you greet each day with pure joy. Happy 1st birthday, my love!”
So sweet!
We couldn’t be happier for Lesley and her entire family. Happy first birthday to Lily — we love being able to watch her grow up!
