Happy 21st

Can't believe this little girl went from this:

to this:

It happened in the blink of an eye. I was just glad to be a part of it all since Madison was in North Carolina on her 21st.

It wasn't the birthday Darcy expected or planned, but she made it work.

She furnished a makeshift bar in the Steelers room and then purchased liquor where she got to show her ID. She ordered Chilis food and margaritas to go and was disappointed when she wasn't carded.

Me: "Maybe you weren't carded because I was in the front seat."

Madison & Darcy: "Yeah, for sure!"

Me: "Insert Auntie Marilyn's signature line."

She had three friends over for drinks and social distancing. There was a round of tequila shots, and a pitcher of margaritas from a recipe she found. Her mother drank most of the pitcher because the girls weren't big fans.

Everyone changed into suits and swam. I took a bit longer to join them.

Darcy: "We wondered what happened to you. Then we saw you sleeping on your bed."

Me: "Yeah, well, some of us aren't 21 anymore."

The day called for rain, but it never happened. We ended the night with cookie cake and presents.

My baby's 21!
