My birthday was right around the corner and I found a landscaping picture that I loved for around the fire pit. Brandon loved the picture too and our preliminary cost estimate we thought was reasonable. For future reference, Brandon knows more about calculating the square footage of a circle than the employee of the rock quarry.
It was a project for the entire family.
This was the perfect project for Caleb - it involved dirt and rocks!
Sarah also loves the outdoors, dirt, rocks and nature in general -
so she was happy to help too!
Brandon found an awesome deal on adirondack chairs and
I got the pleasure of painting them with a sealer.
All of this work made Caleb so thirsty!
What a beautiful chair! This one was painted by Sarah!
Now for the big reveal! It was a beautiful night . . . we had some yummy chili for dinner
and s'mores for dessert (my favorite)!!!
How beautiful! This looks so much better than the original picture I showed Brandon!
The wood was ready and the fire was hot!
The kids enjoying the evening!
Who's ready for S'MORES???
Caleb enjoying one of his FIVE marshmallows he ate . . .
yes, that's right FIVE - it was a birthday party after all!
Sarah ejoying her s'more!
Marley was patiently waiting for any little bite of food to fall . . .
he waited all night for nothing! He should know by now that my kids don't drop chocolate!
Ken and Susan stopped by to join the celebration!
After the kids went to bed & Ken/Susan went home, Brandon and I enjoyed a beautiful night with a warm fire and cold bottle of wine! That was the best birthday present ever - just having time to spend with each other - it was a beautiful night!
This was the perfect way to start the fall season!
Thank you Brandon, Sarah & Caleb for a wonderful birthday present we will enjoy for many more years to come! I love you all!
