Hi Chris Glad you and your family are having a nice day and enjoyed baking. The goodies came out awesome and the boys look like they had fun, Glad you're all doing ok and have a fun birthday weekend ahead. It reached about 66 here late afternoon. There was a bit of sun too.. Thanks for all my nice hugs today. Have a good night hugs to all-Stephanie
Lots of fun in the kitchen. Brodie is learning from the best bakers! Wish I could reach out & crab some goodies. Thanks for sharing your day. Big celebration on Sunday. Stay safe & Healthy! Hugs! Brooke
Hey Chris. Oh boy look at all those yummy goodies. I'll have a brownie and a pretzel please :D thanks for sharing your fun :D
Oh how wonderful - I remember when Kayla was little, and Taylynn, and they were your special baking Friday helpers, picking out the best eggs ever :)) Now it’s a boy zone, whippin’ up pretzels and brownies :)
Looking forward to the birthday celebration pics! xx
HI Chris and Holly So glad that you all had a great time baking and getting the flour flying yesterday. John and I have pretty much been staying close to home. Kelly's John was home yesterday so him and John palled around most of the day. It was great to have a day pretty much to myself. I am baking today although not sure what I am making. I am thinking of making a spice cake. I haven't made one of those for years and I found some really good recipes for some from scratch. I have pretty much been making everything from scratch lately. I am sure the boys had a great time and the end result looks delicious.
Glad that you and Holly have been well. John and I are doing better but still grieving for our little Mya. We miss her so much But we will get through it. We still don't have any cases of the virus in our area bur I am sure that it won't be long before we start seeing it. John and I have been very careful when we are out at the grocery store. That is really the only place we go. Most other businesses are closed for now.
Take care and have a great weekend and Happy Happy Birthday to you. I so wish we could be with you and celebrate with you and your wonderful family but we will be thinking of you. Hugs--John Debbie and Allie
