Oh, my kids so love having a bonfire out at Nana's house.  Even better when the cousins all get together and roast hot dogs (I say YUCK!) and marshmallows.  This time we made home made marshmallows and OH. MY. WORD. they were DELICIOUS.  It's true--everything is better when it's made from scratch.  If you like marshmallows you must try to make them!! 

I'm so glad I had the chance to video our last bonfire and capture these memories for my kiddos.  They love watching themselves!  They could sit around for hours watching these videos of their daily lives because it's also true--the simple times are the best times.  

My kids LOVE getting to spend time with their cousins.  It seems they never get enough time with them!  One of our holiday traditions is the cousin football game after Thanksgiving dinner.  While the adults clean up, the kids get dirty!
