In honor of my big day and in plain-old good fun, I'd like to give away a little present. April Cornell makes darling petticoats for little girls. I love using them as summer nightgowns for my own girls, as seen here and here, but they would make lovely dresses worn alone or with a pinafore. The petticoat I am giving away is brand new and fits a two to three year old. It is short-sleeved, 100% cotton with gathered yoke and trimmed with crochet lace. Sweet and simple for your own little one, for your hope chest, or as a gift for someone you love.
Now, to receive this little birthday present from me, you must guess the answer to the question provided below. While pondering what I would ask, I realized I needed a question with a particular answer, and one no one could know (only my husband and mother are privy to the knowledge at present). I also wanted the nature of this to be more fun than serious, hence the silly question. If more than one of you answers correctly, the first to leave a comment wins.
**What will Gianna be for Halloween this year?**
Hints: 1. There are no clues contained in the writings of this blog (I'm pretty sure), and 2. The costume is for Halloween, not the feast of All Saints.
I'll be out of town visiting with family for the weekend, so you have until late Monday at the stroke of midnight to guess. Good luck and have fun! I'm eager to see the responses. :)

Yay! Today we get to celebrate both those awesome Archangels and our much-loved Kristen!
I don't have the time or the werewithal to make a guess right now but I would like to wish you the happiest of birthdays and do you know? If we lived closer we could celebrate together? (Hint: I have a special devotion to the Guardian angels on account of my special day.)
Love to you & your family!
Happy Birthday Kristen! Hope you have a great day!
Happy Birthday Kristen! Mine is tomorrow..didn't realize we were so close! Hope you have a wonderful day! :)
Happy birthday Kristen!
Last year I know Gianna was a ladybug. I'm guessing...a butterfly!
Happy, Happy Birthday Kristen! Hope you have a wonderful birthday weekend!
Happy Birthday Kristen, from one 34 year old to another! Hope it was a blessed day. How fun, those are beautiful petticoats... Hmmm, is Gianna going to be an angel? Have a great weekend!
Happy Birthday Kristen!!! I haven't the least idea what your little Gianna is going to be - but wouldn't she make a beautiful little princess? or maybe a rainbow? How many guesses do we get anyways? ;-) LOL
Happy, Happy Birthday to you! Many Years!
Happy Birthday Kristen! Enjoy your special day. Aren't our thirties great? -Carmen
Happy Birthday, Kristen. I can't really think what Gianna would be - a fairy?
God Bless you. I offered mass and communion for your intentions.
Gianna=ballerina, pirate or mother.

Happy Birthday Kristen. I enjoy reading your blog. My daughter turns 5 today and I love that it is on this day... I look forward to hearing about how the Archangels have touched your life. God Bless You and yours

I'm going to be generic and guess princess!
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Happy Birthday, Kristen! I hope it was a wonderful day!
As for the Halloween costume, my guess was going to be angel, but that's already been guessed. How about a little mouse?
My Mary Clare guesses a pumpkin, Ellie guesses a butterfly. And a 2nd guess from Mary Clare...a teddy bear!
But that might be too many guesses for one family ;)
Happy Birthday! And many more...
I guess Gianna will be an ice cream cone. I saw this costume in a magazine this week and none of my children want to be it, but I really think someone should be it, so maybe Gianna.
Happy Birthday, Kristen! Ad multos annos!
My guess: a nun?
Happy Birthday! I'm going to go with Tinkerbell for Gianna.
gianna=cinderella

Happy Birthday, one day late!
Hope it was a special day!
Happy belated birthday! Hope you had a great day. I could see Gianna as a Little Red Riding Hood!
Love,
Monica
Happy Birthday! -- and I nominated you for an award on my blog.
Happy Birthday, Kristen. I'm guessing Little Bo Peep :)
Will Gianna be a flower?
PS I love the blog. My husband and I are in the process of adopting our first child. We can't wait to get her home! Please remember our adoption in your prayers.
Kristen -- I guess a corn cob but may not be elligible: first because I did not call you on your birthday; second because, even though I did not talk to her, I do know your mother; 3rd I am a member of the family

Happy Birthday Kristen! God's choicest blessings on you and your family as you begin another year. As for Gianna, I'd have to go with one of the guesses that has already been posted: a ballerina.
A bunch of grapes?
Random, I know.
Happy Birthday! I'll guess a lion.
I hope you had a lovely birthday, Kristen!
Might Gianna be a bird?
Hi Kristen! Happy Birthday a few days late! I"m guessing Gianna is going to be a Starbucks Barista, because that was my favorite costume in the little halloween parade at school I went to last year :) (She was a kid after my own heart!)
Hope you had a wonderful birthday weekend! I'm going to guess that Gianna will dress up as a bride.
5yo Avila guesses a pumpkin or a princess, 3yo Josiah guesses a lego or a doll. I guess a ballerina. -Faith
For some reason, "kitten" pops into my head...I think she would also make a lovely flower. Hope you had a happy birthday!
Happy bIRTHDAY! I guess a tiger. My 8 year old son guesses a dead, rotting, stinkin' fish. I truly hope he's wrong!
You know, I just saw the cutest butterfly costume and thought it was a great idea, but also must admit thinking along the same lines as the person who guessed grapes. My curiousity is certainly peaked to know what she is going to be.
Happy Belated Birthday, Kristen! Glad to hear you had a wonderful day. God bless.
Happy belated birthday, Kristen!
Happy Birthday you young and beautiful girl!!!!
You are so loved!
