Fire Pit

I asked Mike for a fire pit. I told him it could be my birthday gift, it may have been a trick, but it was a good one. He got me one that very night and we had smores. He figured out that if you put the chocolate on the graham cracker and slide it under the fire pit, the chocolate will melt to perfection and you had enough time to roast your marshmallow.

This fire was a little strong and the wind didn't help, 

but we all enjoy some family time around the fire pit.

 I could have tried to get cute, well placed, pictures but that is not what I enjoy about my fire pit. I love the peace that it seems to bring to our family and the way the kids enjoy each other, the talk between them and just allowing myself to enjoy them.

 Check out Gretchen's face in these pictures, she is a hoot.
