God made us sisters, Hearts made us friends

sisters are special. the relationship of sisters is a unique one. my sister rachel took me out yesterday to celebrate my upcoming birthday. she gave me a jumbo muffin pan, which i have had my eye on for some time, a fun cupcake recipe book and "the giving tree" one of my favorite childhood books. i had just been thinking earlier this week about how much fun it would be to have a cupcake cookbook. how did she know that? somehow sisters seem to know us best. we went to lunch and then to the movie "hairspray" and it was so much fun. all of my sisters and i have always loved musicals, watching them on tv, dancing to soundtracks, going to broadway shows, being part of local plays, you get the idea... this was a truly entertaining show, it had all the broadway songs in it, not just the few songs from the older version of the movie and such an amazing, lovable cast...if you are a fan of musicals, this is one show you must go see, preferably with a sister...

I really want to see Hairspray! Glad you liked it! I loved the original movie, but never saw the show on Broadway. I'm looking forward to seeing this one in the theater.

What sweet gifts from your sister! I loved "The Giving Tree" as a child, too!

Happy birthday! May ALL your dreams come true. :)

I'm going to say the same thing I said over at Rachel's site--you gals are the sweetest sisters! Happy Birthday, Julie!

(And on a totally unrelated note--I'm eyeing that chocolate molten cake over there. dying! It looks so yummy. Now I'M craving it.)
