Dave and Jenny Marrs’ daughter Sylvie turned 11 in January 2023
Jenny took a break from renovating homes in Bentonville, Arkansas, and running a farm to shout out her and Dan Marrs’ adopted daughter, Sylvie. In an Instagram post, the designer celebrated Sylvie turning 11 with a video and heartfelt message.
“E L E V E N✨How can it be that my squishy toddler with the raspy voice and adorable accent is standing before me now as this lovely young lady exuding both strength and grace? Jenny wrote in the caption alongside footage of the family at a roller rink.
“How can it be that the years of praying and pining for your physical presence in our family feel equally like a lifetime and a blink ago?” she continued, referencing Sylvie’s adoption from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Dave and Jenny legally adopted Sylvie in 2013. A Congolese government shutdown prevented the now-11-year-old from joining them until July 2014 (via People).
Jenny Marrs reminisced about bedtime memories with young Sylvie: ‘You would whisper the same words night after night’
The Fixer to Fabulous star continued. “I remember, years ago, as I would lie beside you at bedtime, rubbing your back and reassuring you that I was here and you were safe, you would whisper the same words night after night: ‘God carried me home, momma,’” she said.
“Indeed He did, my girl,” Jenny continued. “He knew that our little family would never have been complete without you. And He knew that this crazy world of ours desperately needs you to shine your brilliantly bright, beautifully radiant light.”
“Keep shining, my love. ✨. Happiest of birthdays to you, Sylvie-loo! We loved celebrating you today!” Jenny concluded the post. “I love you to the moon and back times one million!!! ?.”
Dave Marrs also wished daughter Sylvie a happy birthday on Instagram
Jenny wasn’t the only one to give Sylvie a birthday shoutout. Dave, her Fixer to Fabulous co-host and husband, also wished their daughter a happy birthday on Instagram. Albeit with a dig at his own skating skills.
“Happy happy birthday to my beautiful Sylvie Marrs. 11 years old today,” he captioned an Instagram video of himself skating with his daughters. “So, I thought why not choreograph a skating dance with my her and Charlotte. Didn’t realize I am truly terrible at roller skating. Anyway, love you Sylvie.”
