In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Katie Holmes reflected on the at-home party she threw for daughter Suri, who turned 14 on April 18. The star of The Secret: Dare to Dream previously shared glimpses of the low-key festivities, which included crafts and a flower crown for the birthday girl.
"It was a beautiful moment," said Holmes, 41, of the socially distanced party, held in the midst of the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. "This year is a reminder that the simple things are really beautiful. I think when you have less, you are more creative."
"This lockdown has had a lot of silver linings," the Dawson's Creek alum went on, adding that she's taking time to "really be there" and "be present."
Sharing a photo on Instagram back in April of a floral wall decoration designed in honor of Suri's birthday, Holmes wrote a touching message to her teenager. "💕 Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!!!!!! 💕 I am so blessed to be your mom. May this year be incredible! 💕💕💕💕," she wrote.
She later posted another image, which showed Suri from behind, donning a pink-and-white floral crown. Holmes captioned the latter snapshot, "Birthday vibes 💕💕."
