Hi Chris Glad you and your family are doing well and looking forward to the weekend. The brownies and pizza came out great. I bet the kids really enjoyed them.Hope it's a nice weather weekend and you and Holly can get lots of planting done, It reached about 83 here this afternoon. Hope you enjoy your movies and shows and all your weekend activities. Thanks for all my nice hugs today. Have a good night hugs to all there-Stephanie
LOL...Carter really did enjoy that pizza! : D I'm glad that you guys had a nice time baking today. Wish Denny and I could have joined you! Pizza used to be my favorite food, and brownies weren't half bad either. ; ) Wishing you, Holly, and your family a wonderful, peaceful weekend. Lots of love and hugs.
Happy Baking Friday everyone!
Mmm, I’d enjoy one of those chocolate brownies! What are those flowers on your baking Friday table?
Hugs,
Star!
Great job Team Bakers. Hunter is growing up fast. Carter looks so cute. Thanks for sharing you day. Enjoy your evening! Hugs! Brooke
Wow I didn't know the history of Baking Fri, thanks for telling us and to Mikey for asking. Does he still participate in baking Fri? Carter is so cute, pretty soon he and Brodie will be in there baking up a storm. Now pass me a piece of pizza and a brownie :D
Hi Chris and Holly. Once again everything really looks good. Can I have one of those brownies??? They really look good. It is really cool that Mikie asked how Baking Friday began and it is so cute how he wants it to continue for another 30 years. Glad your gardens are all doing great. Our blueberries, currents and raspberries are doing great. We won't have raspberries this year but hoping next year they will be big enough to produce berries. Lots of birds visiting our feeders. We love watching them. They each have their own personality. Hope you and Holly enjoy your weekend. We don't have anything planned for this weekend. It is supposed to be nice weather. I am hoping to have a fire tonight and cook over it back in the picnic grove. It will be a perfect evening to cook over wood coals. Have a great weekend. Hugs. John Debbie and Allie.
Hello there all bakers calling all cookie monsters I see you got together and had a wonderful time I love reading your journal and hearing the story you were telling to Mikey about how it got started .I remember you telling me that a while back. Sound like such a fun day in the pizza and the brownies look delicious wish I was there as always but as always I’m there with you in spirit. Enjoyed reading in the pictures so much it’s so much family you have and you’re so close we don’t get to see many people and it’s kind of isolated here since this terrible virus. Now we have the rioting going on and don’t know how that’s going to end just wish people could love each other. But Bruce said to say have big hello and I told Kelly about your baking day and she thinks that’s so neat. It’s a wonderful time and much fun sharing these traditions with you and the family sending you love and hugs Bruce said a big hello we love you all bunches! HAPPY WEEKEND!
