Hi Chris and Holly. That was so nice of you to make Taylynne her favorite goodies for baking Friday. The brownies look delicious. I never had homemade potatoes chips. Will have to try them sometime. Taylynne has certainly grown up. I remember when you were teaching her to bake. Glad everyone had a good time at the party. That was great you all decorated your back yard for the party. I love all the balloons. The snowcone machine sounds like fun. Haven't had one of those for years. I did 24 jelly jars of plum jelly today. It turned put really good. It really tastes good. You and Holly enjoy your evening. John and I watching the Pirates. They actually won last night. Hugs. John. Debbie and Allie

Hi sweet Chris, tu for sharing. The brownies and potato chips looked delicious. U and Holly did a great job and also did a great job with the bday banner. The cupcakes looked delicious and she got lots of neat and nice gifts and the bq and pizza and foods sound great. It’s so nice your mom and Alyssa rented a snow cone maker. That sounds like fun. It’s amazing how time has gone so fast and Taylynn turned 13. Hugs and love ff
