Today is Daughter #2’s fifteenth birthday!
This sweet girl joined our family when she was one year old. She was a tiny 17 pound, runny nosed little cutie pie. And we fell in love with her the minute she was put on my lap!!
Today we asked her what she wanted to do for her special day.
We had lunch at her favorite Thai restaurant and we went and saw “Aladdin.”
Great movie, great music, and I absolutely love Will Smith so I knew I was going to love it! Daughter #2 also loved it so it was a WIN for cool parenting!
We also made the birthday girl her favorite meal which I wanted to share with y’all.
