🎉 Happy 22nd Birthday to my beautiful Aurora Nicole! 🎉
Somewhere along the way, when my sister Joanna was young, Mike and I started a joke that when she turned 22, we were going to make her wear a big tutu. 😂🩰
We never actually did it… so we just started telling Rory that for years… so now that the Big 22 is the year it was finally happening!! 😂
As much as I love making my girl wear a tutu, what I love even more is the incredible woman she has become.
Rory is smart, talented, driven, kind, genuine, and so incredibly funny. And that laugh of hers?! It is absolutely infectious. ❤️
She has big dreams and the determination to chase them, and I truly believe she is going to make her mark on this world. I can’t wait to watch her discover just how big that mark will be and how far it will spread.
Rory, I hope 22 is everything you’re dreaming it will be—and so much more. Never stop being exactly who you are.
I love you more than you know! ❤️
Happy Birthday, Rory! 🩰🎂🥳
And yes… the tutu was worth the wait. 😂
