The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley’s daughter, Skylar Gray Smiley, is officially six years old! Gretchen’s daughter celebrated her birthday on July 10 and did it fabulously.
Gretchen took to Instagram on her daughter’s birthday, where she posted a video from her celebration at the lake. Gretchen put so much thought and attention into her set-up — from the happy birthday banner to the gifts laid out in the kitchen for when Skylar woke up in the morning.
Once she made her way into the kitchen, Skylar was shocked to see her presents, balloons, friends, and a stack of pancakes decorated with whipped cream and sprinkles. “Here is a sneak peek into this morning celebrating with some of our besties up at [the] lake!” Gretchen wrote in the caption of the post.
She added, “Our morning was filled with special birthday pancakes, lots of fun gifts, dancing, dogs, and of course, just plain silliness!”
