Aly: they’re going strong.
Jennie: *smirking emoji*
Layla: JEN!
Aly: for real.
Aly: Ohhh! My Babygirl is up!
Aly: Birthday girl!

They were all off with their families, wrapped up in warmth, laughter, and love and still remembered me.

Jennie: RUDE! I’m 20!
Aly: 21 in a few weeks.
Jennie: you’re also 1999!
