round the fire

 Cool and cold evenings are here finally!  This means it is bonfire time.  During the cold months we are out stoking up a fire whenever we get a chance.   Tonight the weather was perfect.  It started out cool enough to need long sleeves but by the end of the night all the girls were pointing our freezing toes towards the fire.
We roasted hotdogs, ate baked beans and chips.  We ended up with a few belly aches in the pursuit of the perfectly roasted marshmallow.  The kids were all blackened with soot and plenty dirty by the end of the night.  It was a wonderful night full of laughs and singing and a few charades.  These are the nights that I hope they will remember and thankfully we have had so many of them.  I am so thankful for this little space in which to capture all of these moments on our path as a family.
What did you do this weekend.  Come back Monday, I will be posting the tutorial on how to make the crocheted Santa Lucia crown which is the same way we make our advent and Christmas wreaths.
