Thanksgiving at Devin and Hailey's House: fire, s'mores, scary stories!

We had an early Thanksgiving Meal together at Nana and Pop's home on Sunday and Devin and Hailey parents had other plans on Thanksgiving day, so we did not see them on Thursday.  But here are photos sent to me of their celebration in their back yard.   First of all this is Mr Harvest Man at the front door.  You will have to ask them who made the man and what all is stuffed in him.

Then there was a big bonfire in the back yard.
Here is Buddy enjoying the celebration with Hailey and Devin.

S'mores being roasted.


Kevin just sent me this information:  "In the old days, pagans celebrated the end of the year with bonfires. We had more practical reasons: a year's worth of giant fallen tree trunks and branches to get rid of. So we roasted marshmallows, made s'mores, and told scary stories by firelight. Even the dogs got involved, but the cat decided to stay in the garage."
