Lisa said, Kayla hid the bags under her chair, as she thought the kids would all try to get the beef jerky. we still wanted to see the moment she opened it, and thought maybe it would happen, but were surprised, that she secretly opened the gift bag, and we didn't even know she opened it.i worked hard, making the beef jerky all day, including getting the dehydrator ready, it was a lot of work, and when you put that much work into something, you at least want to see the person's reaction. i talked with my mom about it, and she said too, she would have wanted to see the moments, or at least acknowledged that you had a role in making the gift. we actually thought, maybe Lisa had forgotten the bags of beef jerky in the house. it's ok, i just wish i had known in the moments that the gift bag, was the beef jerky, and that she is pleased with the gift.

Hi sweet Chris, happy bday to Kayla. I’m glad she had a happy birthday and had fun celebrating with everyone including her BFF, his family, her friend and family and got nice gifts. That’s so nice u all got a bounce house. The cake is beautiful and the cupcakes and cake look very good. Sorry Kayla was secretive about her beef jerky she made but it makes sense she wants to keep t to herself so she can enjoy it for herself. It’s a compliment to u that she likes and treasures it so much she wants to keep it to herself. The presents and Holly gave Kayla was very nice. Hugs and love

Hi Chris and Holly Such a pretty birthday cake for Kayla. Wishing her lots and lots of birthday wishes. It is hard to believe that she is 18. I have watched her grow up on daily strength through all the pictures of her. She is a very pretty young lady. So glad that you had a great time celebrating her birthday. Birthday celebrations are the best!! The pizza sounds good as well. Hope you all have a great Wednesday. It is hot and humid here today and we have thunderstorm warnings until 1:00 a.m. Then it is going to be super warm the rest of the week with temps in the 90's everyday until next Tuesday. You all take care and stay safe in the heat. Hugs--John Debbie Mya Abby and Allie
