S'more Family Fun

Judd, Cole, and Mary Conlee surprised me with a firepit for Christmas. I was so excited about my outdoor fireplace. We plan on having lots of backyard campouts...without the camping out! A few days after Christmas, Cole and Judd put it together. Cole was excited the most because he was the one who picked it out for me. We decided to build our fire on Friday night. We sat on our back patio gazing at the stars, roasting marshmallows, eating s'mores, and telling stories. What a great way to end our first week back at school!

Putting it all together

Roasting marshmallows
 

Getting them right
 

The only way to eat them- burned to a crisp!
 

Are you sure about this?
 

These are yummy!

This does look like fun! I just love all of your sweet pictures on here! Blogs are so much fun! Oh, and Mary Conlee told me all about her canopy in Sunday School. She was so excited! Will you tell her that Miss Julie thinks it's absolutely beautiful? :)
