Lily Collins is celebrating another trip around the sun!
On Thursday, March 19, the Emily in Paris actress shared a glimpse into how she marked her 37th birthday the day before.
Posting a carousel of photos on Instagram, Collins revealed that she celebrated the day with her husband Charlie McDowell, their daughter Tove, 1, and dog Redford.
The day was also filled with cake, a scenic park walk and a trip to the beach.
“Another year older and it just keeps getting better. SO grateful for this little life and big love. Thank you for the birthday wishes!…” Collins captioned the pictures.
In the first photo, Collins could be seen sitting next to her director husband, 42, at a table with a white frosted birthday cake with lit candles in front of her. McDowell, who is also a screenwriter and producer, appeared to be singing to his wife, who flashed a huge smile.
This was followed by a snap of their dog walk with Redford in a picturesque park. The couple was joined by their daughter Tove, who was sitting in a baby carrier on Collins’ chest.
The final two slides showed the young family’s visit to the beach, with Tove, who turned 1 last month, holding her dad’s hand as she walked in the sand. A sweet close-up of Tove then showed the tot playing in the sand while wearing a checkered white and orange dress and a white foral sun hat.

Collins’ birthday comes shortly after she and McDowell celebrated their daughter’s first birthday at the end of January.
