Introducing Bryn

It’s hard to believe that Bethenny Frankel’s daughter, who was a teeny newborn in the clip above, is now a teenager! Bryn Hoppy recently turned 13, and Bethenny captured her “Peanut’s” sweet celebration in a heartfelt Instagram share. The post featured a carousel of photos and videos from Bryn’s special birthday getaway, along with a detailed caption from The Real Housewives of New York City alum.

In the May 6 Instagram post, Bethenny wrote: “I may not love my own, but there is nothing more that I love than the Peanut’s birthday … she is so fun and free and as sweet as birthday cake. I’m bigger on experiences than I am with big gifts for these moments, and she loves it so much and creates memories to last a lifetime. From when she was little, she would choose a special group of girls she really wanted to share and create memories with and I would try to create something small, special and magical — but never over the top.”

She continued: “Paul and I chaperoned with Biggy & Smallz in another room and Bryn [and] her friends kept visiting us, so we knew we were cool. I shop, plan, and hang everything, and make all the goodie bags and really try to make it perfectly her. This year our theme was cherries (which started from a towel I saw at a cheapo store). You know I love to run with a theme and no one on this earth is as sweet as a cherry as much as Bryn. We even saw a rainbow on the way to the slumber party so we knew it would be special!!!”

Bethenny’s photos offered a look inside the slumber party, which had cute red and pink balloons spelling out Bryn’s name. The festivities also included pink-frosted cupcakes — with cherries on top, of course! There was time to splash around in the pool and a sweet birthday serenade with plenty of candles. Bethenny took the cherry-themed memo one step further, wearing a pink shirt dotted with the fruit, plus a cherry necklace.

The post also shared a look at the beautiful rainbow, which Bethenny took as a sign that the party was going to be “fun.” Based on the photos, it looks like the bash delivered. 

Bethenny throws birthday parties for her fur babies too. When Biggy and Smallz (aka Bryn’s chaperones) had their birthdays back in August, Bethenny took to Instagram to share a look at her Lhasa apso pups’ special day. In a series of photos, the dogs are seen wearing pink furry birthday hats while chilling on a deck in front of a colorful birthday banner. “Happy birthday baby boys,” Bethenny wrote in the caption of the photos.
