This year we started a new tradition for New Year's with the boys. (At least it might be a tradition - it's only the first year, so we'll see...) After dinner we all went out in the backyard and Russell lit the firepit. After the fire burned a little bit and the boys had fun running around in the dark we roasted marshmellows. The boys were very interested in the whole process, but not so interested in the actual roasted marshmellows (although they loved the "raw" ones out of the bag!). Russell is a master marshmellow maker (everyone should have their own personal Eagle Scout!) and hopefully will pass along his skill to the next generation.
