Father's Day...

A couple weeks ago we celebrated Father's Day...my kids are so lucky to have such a great daddy!
I love the card we got for Jon...Super Man!

More than anything I love the way that Elsie signed her name and drew a picture of herself on the back of the card...so special! (I love the way that Elsie has the right letters...just not in the right order!)

Jon's Father's Day gift was a Fire Ring! We have wanted a fire ring since we first moved into our house...so we were all happy with the gift! It is more like a Family gift really...I can envision lots of fun family times ahead!

The campfire was anything but a relaxing campfire...James is a very busy little boy so we had to watch him every minute...I was certain he would fall in the fire if we turned our back for a second!

Earlier in the week Elsie talked to me into buying some giant marshmallows! After you eat a giant marshmallow the normal size ones are just not nearly as good!

One thing is for certain...giant marshmallows are messy! But gooey and messy things are the very best~especially if you are three-an-a-half!

The only thing that would make James sit still was if he could have the whole bag of giant marshmallows on his lap...but trust me he did NOT need all the marshmallows he felt he could have...so Elsie took the bag and hid it under the bush! She thought her brother would never find it...

...he found it! I think it took him about 3 minutes before he found it! Good thing he would take a bite of one marshmallow and toss it aside...then take another and do the same!

Elsie is a little particular on her roasted marshmallows...they have to be just right! No burnt spots or even brown...basically she just sticks the marshmallow on the roaster, holds it over the fire ring (not necessarily the fire!) for about 1 minute...and it is perfect for her!

See I told you...if there is any burnt pieces she not a very happy camper at all!

I think both the kids enjoyed the first campfire in Daddy's new campfire ring! A very fun evening...a perfect family evening...a perfect way to celebrate the amazing daddy Jon is!
