Yesterday, we celebrated Alejandra’s 17th birthday! Although she spent most of the day surrounded by her friends and loved ones, we made sure to find a special moment to come together and celebrate at home.

And what better way to mark the occasion than with a little surprise? Since Alejandra’s favorite cake is banana bread, we decided to bake her a homemade banana bread with chocolate—just the way she loves it!

Alejandra is a truly kind soul. She loves to help whenever she can. She can be very shy if she doesn’t know you, but once she feels comfortable with you she can be the funniest person in the room.
