{Playbill from our mother's birthday evening spent watching the incredible Hamilton}

For the second year in a row, all four Christie siblings rallied together to shower our mama with lots of love and laughter for her birthday. Being that a few of us live on opposite sides of the country, its always a special occasion when we can spend a few days in the same zip code. There's something about being under the same roof with your siblings that just brings you back to being little again- we laugh, we cry, we fight over sitting next to mom. And we love each other fiercely. So while so much as changed- we get older, we have significant others, we call new places home, we're now called mom/aunt/uncle; so much has stayed the same. And there's something strangely comforting in that. xx
