That my beautiful daughter turned 21 years old yesterday somehow makes me feel 21 years younger!

We had brunch at a restaurant with over-the-top chandeliers.

The spiciest bloody maries.

Birthday cake, red velvet with cream cheese icing, and grand candles.

Maud glowed.

She even cried when she read our card detailing all we love about her, tears of blushing joy.

It all couldn’t have been nicer.
