Last weekend Jason suggested that we make some smores with the kids. I got our smores maker out of the garage that we had gotten as a Christmas gift from the Corbett's many years ago when we were watching JD when he was a baby. Our kids have never made smores before so we thought it might be a fun activity and surprise.
To say they had a blast would be an understatement. Actually we all had a lot of fun. Jase and I included! Hudson and Tori jumped in from the get go and started roasting their marshmellows but Emily was nervous about what would happen if your marshmellow caught on fire. I explained to her that the BEST marshmellows are the ones that get pretty toasted :) I showed her by putting my marshmellow in the flame and letting it catch on fire and then doing the only thing a mom can think of...peeling the outer layer off and then eating it....yummm!! Then putting it back in the fire to roast the next level. Brings back memories from my childhood, haha.
That was all it took and she joined in on the fun.

Max loved that he got all gooey and sticky! He wasn't allowed to roast his own but he sure loved it whenever anyone else would make one for him.
Tori ended up getting some pink marshmellow in her hair at one point but that didn't slow her down in the slightest. 
Hudson thought marshmellows on fire looked cool so he was constantly lighting his on fire just to watch it burn...should we be worried? hmmm
We picked up white and pink marshmellows and in the end the white ones got the most votes. Pink were good but not as good as the plain white ones apparently.
It was a fun time and since then they have been asking if we can make them again.

It was raining tonight so we weren't able to go out for our nightly walk to look at Christmas lights after dinner, so we made smores instead. Nothing like loading the kids up on sugar right before bath and bed. urgh.
Anyway, they seem to be a huge hit in our house. Just wish that American chocolate didn't taste so crappy. I would kill for some decent Canadian chocolate:)

Sounds like you had a blast. It actually looks like Jase was really smiling in one picture. It must have been fun.
We are excited to see you guys!
I'm glad you used the S'mores maker! Now that my kids are old enough, I need to find one for us. They would love to do that at home since they like to make them when they are camping.
He was being a smart ass dork lol. I asked him to smile and that was what I got!!!
