Alex Drummond just turned 28, and her family couldn't let the day go by without celebrating her in the sweetest way!
Ree kicked things off by posting a throwback photo of Alex from her younger ranch days, bundled up in a classic canvas jacket with windblown hair and a serious look on her freckle-covered face. "My beautiful daughter. My Alex! She's married now, and a mother. But I will always see her like this ❤️ She's precious to us. Happy birthday, Alex!!" Ree wrote.
One look at the photo and you're instantly reminded of all the early days we've seen on The Pioneer Woman over the years. Alex may be a full-on adult now with a house, a husband, and a baby girl of her own, but for Ree—and really, for anyone who's watched her grow up on TV—she'll always be that little girl riding in her dad's truck or helping in the kitchen. The Drummond kids have grown up, and snapshots like these are a reminder of just how fast the time goes.

Mauricio also shared a birthday tribute on Instagram with a picture from what looked like a celebratory dinner date to mark the occasion. "Happy 28th Bday to my wifey ❤️ Thankful for all that you do for our family," he wrote, toasting Alex with a glass of wine. It's been quite a year for the couple! They welcomed their daughter Sofia back in December and this was Alex's first birthday as a mom. A quiet dinner out (without any baby spit-up in sight 😂) probably felt like a real treat.
And Paige made sure to share a tribute of her own. She posted a photo from her wedding day in May, with Alex standing right beside her in her gorgeous gown. The two sisters are smiling at each other in that way only best friends do. "Happy birthday bestie 🤍🤍🤍," Paige wrote. Alex was her matron of honor, and she was right there for all the big moments. Paige followed that up with a throwback of the two sisters as little girls on the couch, with toddler Alex gently wrapping her arm around baby Paige. She captioned it simply, "ILYSM 💗."
From childhood on the ranch to motherhood in Dallas, Alex has had quite the journey—and she's surrounded by so many people who love her like crazy. Here's to 28 being full of the good stuff. Happy birthday, Alex!
