18 years old

Ally turned 18 on November 16. It’s just so crazy that she’s a legal adult. 18 years has really gone by so very fast.


We had a simple celebration with Ally, Becky, me and Beth at home. It’s what Ally wanted.


Of course we had to decorate!







I was so happy she agreed to a selfie with me!

18 gifts this year. All were related to things she could do now that she was 18. Becky worked really hard wrapping all the gifts and labeling them by number. We had an envelope for each “adult task” and they were numbered and then she opened that number gift. 
Ally appreciated the aesthetics and the gifts!
