Today, you, our dearest, wonderful Elle, turn 25!

Even though we can’t celebrate you in the family’s traditional way – with presents, champagne, and strawberries in bed – we hope you know that our love for you, today and always, builds bridges across the distance between us. Especially today on this, your twenty-fifth birthday!

That you’re turning 25 feels both unbelievable and completely natural at the same time.
You are a beautiful woman – inside and out – and we are so incredibly proud of you. Not only for who you are – wise, kind, caring, and full of empathy – but also because you continue to challenge yourself and grow intellectually and creatively. Watching your journey fills us with indescribable joy, admiration, and, of course, love.

We know you’ll celebrate – and be celebrated – with lots of laughter, love, surrounded by your dearest friends, the ones who make you feel truly good on this very special day.

So Elle, Hip, Hip – hooray! Congratulations! ☀️
