As I was watching the BYU football game last Saturday I felt cold.
The weather was rainy and pretty chilly.
I felt an autumn draft.
I summoned Mr. Nielson and asked if he'd use the delicious smelling
cedar and pinion wood
{that he had just cut himself at the ranch}
to build me a fire.
He did, and I photographed him the whole time as I sat on the couch
and watched. It was awesome.
Then Charlotte woke up from her afternoon nap.
Soon enough, the boys wandered in; Nicholas playing with his dragons
and Oliver playing with his Lego's.
Shortly after that, the girls (plus cousin Lydia) came in to play paper-dolls.
Something about a fire in the fireplace brings people together.
And you wonder why I LOVE colder weather...
{Here is how it went down:}
Here is me watching the game and staring at the cold fireplace


I HEART my eagle Scout!!
