Wow, what a special day December 23rd 2012 was!!! Not only did we get to celebrate my Grandma Violet's 95th birthday (!!!), we also got the news that morning that our newest niece, Emma Rose, was going to be born!! We headed down to the hospital in the early afternoon, got to chat awhile pre-(major)labor with Brittany and Rudy, the nervous/excited parents-to-be, then waiting expectantly in the lobby until she was born at 5:56pm - 7lb 5oz 20in! After Ooohing and Aaahing over the precious new one, we headed back to my parents house for a birthday dinner celebration with my grandma. How fun to celebrate two special birthdays in one day. I've been blessed with such a wonderful family :)

Doesn't my grandma Violet look amazing for 95??!? I sure hope it's in my genes, too!!

I prepared some chocolate peppermint cupcakes with lavender lace wraps and pretty pink butterflies, and hand painted a new vase in her favorite colors, which my dad graciously filled with flowers from his garden.

Our newest niece, Emma Rose Hodges, so beautiful!
