Valentine's Day is not only Valentine's Day in my family, it's also my gorgeous sister Emily's Birthday! Emily turned 21 this year! We celebrated a day early with the fam!
Here's the birthday girl!! Emily and I have always been SOOO close, and we still are! Growing up she was my best friend, and to this day she still is! We talk everyday whether it's on the phone, through texts, on g-chat (which we do EVERY day!) emails, and we visit each other lots and lots! We love to meet up for double dates with our husbands! Emily and I are SO similar, sometimes we like to joke that we were supposed to be twins but I got a little too excited to come, and she wanted to have her own debut a year and a half later! We are just 17 months apart and we LOVE it! Growing up we shared a room our entire lives (we could have moved downstairs but we loved being together) sometimes we would talk late into the night until our parents would come and tell us again that it was time for bed! ha ha! We took dancing lessons together for 13 years, we shared the same clothes, the same hair and make-up supplies, shared the same friends, shared the same car in high school, we were in choir together, performed in Plays together, and LOTS more! We were always known as the "Hawkes girls" and always loved it! I am so happy that to this day Emily and I are so close and that we will stay close FOREVER! We always talk about how someday we are going to live right by each other and by Mom and we are just going to shop and do crafts everyday! Sounds great to us!! She is such an amazing sister, beautiful inside and out. She is such a great example to me and I love her soooo much! She seriously is the best sister EVER, and I am so happy that we are best of friends!
I just love these 2 pictures of us! The first one was taken by the wonderful Ciara when we were taking our Christmas card pictures! And here's a blast from the past picture of us about to go to a dance recital!
Here are some pictures from her party!
