This year, GENERAL HOSPITAL star Kirsten Storms (Maxie) broke out the birthday wishes a day early! Harper Barash, her daughter with ex-husband and former GH castmate Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny, now Jake, DAYS OF OUR LIVES), turned eight on Jan. 7, but the day before, the actress shared a super-cute photo on Instagram to celebrate her big day (to come)!

“I’ve been working on wall hangings for my new place the last few days and I had collected a pile of yarn scraps on the floor,” Storms explained of the photo she shared of Harper enjoying the little bits of yarn. “Had being the key word in that last sentence!

“I love how this girl knows how to find joy in anything,” the proud mom added. “Her spirit is goals.” Then she quickly added: “I can’t believe she is turning eight tomorrow!”

The sentiment was echoed by Storms’ former co-star, Hayley Erin (ex-Kiki), who recently became a mom herself when she gave birth to twins. “Eight?” she marveled in the comments. “Wow, cannot believe it. Happy birthday, Harper!”

Even as Storms can’t believe how much her little girl has grown in the past eight years, you can see it for yourself by scrolling through their family photo album below!
