Happy 18th Birthday, Alayna!

Happy birthday, Alayna!! 💐❤️🎂

The baby of the family, our baby girl, isn’t a baby anymore!

Alayna turned 18 and is now officially an adult! GULP!!!!

Just look at the beautiful young woman she’s grown to be, inside and out!!

To celebrate this milestone birthday one celebration wasn’t enough. We started out the day before with lunch at Yao’s with Mamaw, Pampa, and Walker. (Eli and Brynne had another family engagement so they couldn’t come.)

Then on her actual birthday we celebrated with the whole family this time at Texas Roadhouse with her favorite food, STEAK!

And somehow she was talked into getting in the saddle while we sung happy birthday to her! Hahaha!!!

After dinner we headed back to the house for more birthday singing, dessert, her friend Hannah joined us, and our traditional watching of the movie “White Christmas”.

I am so incredibly proud of the funny, kind, intelligent, and strong woman you’ve become.
Your creativity, compassion, and determination inspire me every day. You bring so much light into our lives and everyone around you. I pray you never lose sight of your beautiful spirit. 🤗

Words cannot express the gratitude I feel about calling you my daughter. I am blessed beyond measure. I love you more than words can say!

Happy 18th birthday, my beautiful daughter! ✨🥳🎉 ✨
