Family Fun

Yesterday we had some winter family fun.
First, we made pinecone birdfeeders. The kids spread a peanut butter and bacon grease mixture on the cones. tied a string and rolled in birdseed.

Then a hayride from daddy up to a special spot with trees and a bonfire. We roasted marshmallows, drank hot cocoa and ate christmas cookies.

Caiden especially liked the fire, he kept finding sticks to put in and held them up. He kept saying he had a candle. very cute.

Ady was having fun until Kevin suggested that we camp there. Caiden was all for it, but Ady was ready to go home then, and kind of stopped having so much fun. A hay ride home in the almost dark and in the house to strip out of snowsuits and gloves and wash the sticky cups.
All was fun.
It is now 7:30 in the morning and they are suiting up again to go play in the new snow from last night.
