Gotta Love a Bonfire!

Who doesn't love a great bonfire on a beautiful crisp day? It was wonderful! The sun was shining, just a slight breeze and nothing but clear blue skies above. We were blessed with such a perfect day, we wanted to make sure that we did something special with it. So, we decided on a trip to the woods for a bonfire and walk, and of course a snowball fight ;) We only had to drive about 1/2hr to get to this fantastic place. The view was unbelievable, and everything was just perfect. We made a big, warm bonfire, and brought hotdogs and marshmallows, and a big bag of chips. Of course we had a big thermos full of steaming hot coffee for mommy and daddy to sip on. YUMMY! mmm mmm good!

Sophie was having so much fun making snow angels! It was so precious to see her giggling while wiggling around in the snow. What a sight! She tired herself out and plopped down by the fire to snack on her chips.

We ran around and played, and made little "Snow Elves" that we hid around the clearing we stopped at. How cute is that??
After we played, we all hopped in the truk for a little fun 4Wheel drive on the old road that ran through the woods. The kids loved it! So did, I :)

After a fun day of play in the snow, we had quite an appetite. When we got home I whipped up an incredible bean soup, and it was warm and cozy and oh so good. It was the perfect end to a perfect day.I hope you all have a wonderful day full of blue skies and lots of hugs and kisses!

xoxo

That looks like so much fun. We never have a snow that last more than a couple of hours. Your bean soup looks yummy. Dh won't eat beans so I save those type foods for when he is traveling or for lunches while he is at work.
