Roasty Toasty

We started out the new year with some great family goals. One of them was to have a family activity at least once a month that was pre-planned and a little out of the ordinary. The night that my brother died we had planned to roast marshmallows over our smoldering Christmas tree (only in the desert can this be a family tradition). Needless to say, this was postponed but we did get to do it finally at the end of January. The kids loved their s'mores and watching the fire send sparks up into the air.

That's a fun idea! Looks like the kids enjoyed themselves, Neil included.

what an awesome idea! I may have to copycat that pre-planned and a little funky idea...

Cute. I love new years goals. I might have to steal that one.

I love any activity centered around food and fire. Looks like a good time.

I love how you, Kevin, and anyone else from those crazy places where water just falls from the sky call everything else "the desert." Meanwhile, we "desert" people know all the different varieties and degrees of desert and how it's misleading to lump it all into one big "desert."

Burning Christmas trees must be a Crapo family tradition. Alan always took a fiendish delight in that particular task.

Roasted marshmellows are so delicious. Looks like a fun time was had by all!
