Before her birthday, Kendra released a special video on her Instagram produced by Treehouse Story. She captioned, "This is me, celebrating 15 wonderful years! Grateful, feeling blessed, and excited for more adventures! Thank you Lord for another year!"

The video shows candid moments of Kendra fiddling with cameras, listening to a vinyl record, reading, journaling, and running through a scenic field.

"Finding myself in this age, I think just knowing who you are as a person and just, again, trying to be confident in yourself because you cannot be right with everyone if you're not right with yourself first, so you have to always self-reflect and know you," narrates Kendra in the video.

Kendra then expresses her hopes for her birthday, "Just looking forward to the new experiences and journey to what's to come on my 15th. I don't know what's going to happen when I turn 15. But just looking forward to it, and hoping for the best."

"I think as teenagers we also make mistakes because we're imperfect people and we're still young so just try to understand as young people," reflects the celebrity.

Doug added that whenever their kids celebrate their birthdays, "it really is so bittersweet to see how every moment in the video seemed like it was just yesterday."

"But reality is, our kids grow up so fast, and it teaches us parents to seize every moment with them," he added. "To listen intently when they talk to us, to check on them every single day and simply ask how your day went. To look them straight in their eyes when conversing, to show how they're the most important."

To end his post, Doug dedicated a message to Kendra, "A girl so pure, charming, intellectual and so studious, funny, God-fearing, hard-working, respectful and loved by all that encounter her."

"Here's to a very special birthday greeting to my baby girl forever, my Kennykins! Happy 15th birthday! Papa loves you so much!" he concluded.

"Fifteen years ago, on June 25, a beautiful baby girl was born to me on a fine Thursday morning," began Chesca.

She then reflected on the moment she had her eldest daughter, "As she was placed in my arms, I felt God's love and favor. For the very first time, my heart was renewed, and I was given so many beautiful things to look forward to with you in my life."

She continued, "Once upon a time Kendra, we were one, figuratively. You were connected to my whole being, and for the first time, I understood what it meant to live for someone and give everything you've got."

"To love someone from the moment you discovered she was growing inside of you. To feel such intense love at first sight that the exhilarating feeling inside was indescribable. 'Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh.' At one point, your heart was beating and dependent on mine. Since then, it has always beaten for you," wrote Chesca.

The emotional mom added, "15 years later, and you're still mine, still within my grasp. Allow me to always kiss you, hug you, stroke your hair, and cradle you, even though you're now bigger than me."

Chesca then declared her love for her daughter, saying, "Kendra, I love you! Thank you for allowing me to lead, guide, and teach you. I pray you stay open to the lessons we will share until you are prepared to lead your own life someday. I love you so much, my firstborn. It is through you that I realized there is still so much love in me to give, share, and want more little ones like you."

"Papa and I, along with Scarlett and Gavin, feel incredibly blessed to have you. Please stay as sweet and loving as you are. We will never tire of the love you bring into our lives. Happy 15th Birthday, my lovely Clair Kendra," concluded Chesca.
