🎂 This birthday looked a little different than every birthday before it.
For the first time ever, I didn’t get to spend every moment of her actual birthday with her. Thankfully, I got to start the day with her, watch her open her Hogwarts letter, and squeeze in some birthday morning magic.
But we made sure to celebrate big beforehand. From seeing her very first Broadway musical, SIX, to a magical afternoon at The Cake Bake Shop, to a little birthday hang with the besties she loves so much, this girl was celebrated every step of the way.
Some things are easier now. Some things are harder. That’s just the truth of this season. But what never changes is how fiercely she is loved.
Dagny, I hope you always know that no matter where you are or what day it is, your mommy loves you beyond measure. I am endlessly proud of the smart, brave, funny, kind, magical little lady you’re becoming.
Happy 11th birthday to my first baby. ✨⚡️💙
