Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Birthday!

Fourteen years ago, the world became a brighter place when this girl made an appearance! She has always been full of spunk, happiness, affection, and light. Happy birthday, Malia! XOXO

We started off her special day with beignets for breakfast.

Elyse and Haley spent the day with Malia.

It's Summertime!
