The "Bye Bye Bonfire"

Courtney is moving into UCLA this week and we are all so excited for her!

We Shannon kids grew up in the most incredible neighborhood, the kind where everyone waves at each other, every Mom is "your second Mom", neighbors offer their backyards and we have bonfires- for every occasion.
As a kid, our bonfires were legendary, they would sometimes include bounce houses, clowns, magic tricks and pool parties, as we started growing up, they condensed to beach chairs in a circle around a fire, which was so nice.

"The block" decided to have a bonfire to send Courtney off into UCLA-land, and it was perfect!
We ate pasta, salad, and of course roasted marshmallows and made s'mores.
I provided some UCLA cupcakes... just for fun!



Just a little sista-sista power.

delicious mallows

UCLA- cupcakes!

I really treasure these memories, and hopefully one day
I will have a block just like this one to raise my family on!
