Willow is 16!

I’m a little overdue, but Willow turned 16 last weekend and we hustled home from a soccer tournament in Mitchell to help her celebrate. Grandma and Grandpa woke her up with maple donuts and once we got back to town, we celebrated with chips and queso at Santo Tequila. I spent my entire drive home from Mitchell sending her pictures of every birthday she celebrated, and the memories we made at birthday parties from when she was little.

The fall is always a little touch and go with early morning dance and lack of sleep, but I’m so proud of how hard she has been working between dance, her job, riding lessons, and homework. She’s crushed the year and overcome so much in 2025. I’m so proud of my 16 year old and so thankful for my little best friend!
