Fire Night

Yea!!! We finally had the first "Fire Night" of the season this past week. We didn't have too many opportunities to break in our in-ground fire pit last winter...burn ban and REALLY dry grass puts a lid on that kind of fun. So as the temperatures have been dipping low, we've been getting excited. So we gathered up the wood in anticipation of the cool night and the temperature did not disappoint. Mom and Maureen joined us for the evening and we all had a great time...good visit, nice relaxation and a general unwind-evening. We talked and laughed like we haven't done in quite some time. And the mixed drinks just tastes better by the fire.

As for Mason, he was mesmerized by the fire-glow but was overcome by the pull of his usual bedtime. He gave it up at 8 and fell asleep in his stroller. We had him bundled up and tucked under a blanket. At one point he woke up and got a little fussy. So I tucked him into my jacket and held him for a while, so sweet to be able to do that. Can't wait for the next cool night and stack of firewood that needs to be burned.
