Hi Daisy!
and a 
to all the birthday kids: Matthew and Amanda to teens and Corey and Jason to children. All very cute, beautiful and handsome. I did wonder a little bit about Matthew's outfit. 
It looks like he's ready to go out and cut some trees down. 
I'm looking forward to part 76.
Lilly! The outfit Matthew grew up in was one left over from "Blood Brothers!" 
doghrse!
Matthew will definitely get a new outfit Lilly! 
Hi Daisy, Wow lots of birthdays. Amanda sure was a cute little girl and now a beautiful teen. It is funny to see the elders of Bufford Falls. They still look like themselves just a little more grey hairs and wrinkles. 
Tasia,
