Vanessa Bryant showered her youngest daughter Capri with love and pixie dust in honor of her milestone first birthday party on Saturday, June 21. The youngest of the Bryant clan turned one on Father’s Day weekend - no doubt an emotional one for the family having lost Kobe and daughter Gianna nearly five months ago. The 38-year-old mom powered through and celebrated her Koko with a lovely birthday bash. From her fairy tale festivities to a meaningful throwback tribute, scroll through to see all the photos marking Capri’s special day!

Between the ornate cake castle and her gossamer gown, birthday girl Capri had a celebration fit for a princess. “Happy 1st birthday Capri! We love you so much mamacita,” Vanessa wrote alongside this frothy photo. She then elaborated on her tiny tot’s special cake: “Natalia had the original Disneyland castle, Gianna had the Walt Disney World castle, Bianka had Disney Paris and Capri has the Tokyo Disney Castle cake.” It seems first birthdays warrant Disney castles in the Bryant household!
She thanked Sweet Lady Jane Barkery in L.A. profusely for making the dream come true. “Due to the pandemic we thought our 1st birthday tradition wasn’t going to be possible,” she added.

Vanessa simply captioned this sweet family photo with her girls “Capri’s 1st birthday.” The star and daughters Natalia, Bianka and Capri, of course, all matched in pink and white hues.

The proud mom-of-four also shared a throwback photo of herself and Kobe holding Capri with a moving message that revealed that root of the birthday girl’s name. “Happy 1st Birthday Capri! Mommy, Daddy, Nani, Gigi and BB love you SO much!!!” she wrote. “God Bless you sweet princess. <3 Capri Kobe Bryant a.k.a. ‘Koko-Bean’ named after her dearly missed daddy, Kobe Bean Bryant <3. We miss you SO much Gigi and Daddy.”
