Happy Birthday Christy!

The signs say "Happy Birthday Christy" and "Thank you Robin!"

The girls hold a sign that says
"We love Christy! Please make a Christy movie for us! Thank you, Christy Miller Fans"
Robin had posted a request that fans pray for things to start moving for a Christy production and for us to write notes saying how we would like a production to be made so we made this picture.

A Robin interview

Robin posted this interview on her Facebook page. I thought I would post the link here so the girls from the party can read it too. I just love that Robin likes Rich Mullins music! Robin's writing reminds me so much of Rich's songs because they both do such a beautiful job of describing God's Creation and His love for us. And of course it made me smile that both Awesome God and Sometimes By Step are referenced in Robin's books.

Things that made me smile

I went to the grocery store today to buy the food for our party. As I was walking into the store, I saw this yellow car with this license plate BBY HMR I am assuming that is short for "Baby Hummer". It made me smile so big to think that there was someone in the store who is a Katie fan! I was so tempted to write a note or something. For all I know, she was in there shopping for her own Christy party!



When I got home, the mail truck delivered the mail and in the box was our German Chocolate! The estimated delivery date was Aug 2, because it was coming all the way from Germany. But, I was holding out hope that it would still arrive in time because when I went back to the order page, it said the average delivery was 10-12 days, and that would give it time to get here for the party. And it did! Now, there will be some German chocolate in our international chocolate bag.

Sierra's Tie Skirt

Today, Alex, my mother and I worked on her tie skirt. We have been collecting ties from thrift stores, school sales, and family and finally found time to put together her tie skirt, like the one Sierra wore. It took a lot of time and work, but it came out really well! We love it! Alex plans to wear it to the party.
