Let's get this party started!

Today is my sweet husband's birthday and I wanted to celebrate this wonderful man and his special day with a little fun. We are doing some serious book shelf purging around here trying to condense 5 bookcases down to 3 and last night, surrounded by stacks and stacks of treasures, I found two copies of Helen McLoughlin's My Nameday: Come for Dessert. Now you can find the entire text of this book over at the EWTN online library but, if you are like me and love the feel of a weathered, well-loved text flitting through your fingers then you're in luck!

*If you want to play, all you have to do is guess my husband's confirmation name saint and I will send you the extra copy. I will keep the contest open until Monday at high noon (Texas time). If there are multiple correct answers, I will put those names in a hat and choose a winner. If there are no correct answers by Monday afternoon, I will offer a hint and the first person to answer correctly wins the prize.

*Sorry, family members...you can't play! You can, however, borrow the copy I'm keeping anytime you want.

Have a great weekend! We are off celebrating! : )

    This is really just a shot in the dark, but I'm going to guess that Anthony is his Confirmation name.
