Spicing Up Our Patio Space for Fall Family Nights

Since moving into our home I think you all know by now that being outside together is one of our favorite things. We have quite the view and we love to enjoy that and spend time together outside doing fun activities. We have been slowly getting our patio space to be exactly what we want it to be. While we still have a little bit to go to make it exactly what we want, we did make one big change over the weekend that I dare say is all of our favorite parts of our patio space.

We added these Enbrighten Seasons Cafe lights to our patio space that are color changing with a remote and also they have a timer mode so you can set them to stay on for a certain period of time which we love because then if we forget to turn them off it is no big deal. King is obsessed with changing the colors of them with the remote. You can even change them to have 2 alternating different colors. They seriously are so fun. My favorite part, okay probably Zach’s favorite part is that they are weather proof so he doesn’t have to take them down in the winter time and put them back up when the weather warms up.

We love to come outside on our patio space, cook dinner together on the grill, turn on the color changing lights, and make s’mores before heading back inside to get ready for bed. It is the perfect thing for our family to do together, create memories together, and enjoy our new home together.

Creating memories as a family has quickly became my top priority of life. Knowing that they are all I will have of this time in my life is something that has really shook me lately. I have been trying to write things down, let King help in projects like putting these lights up in our patio space (I will never forget him throwing the drill at Zach from the top of the ladder…..ugh) and just soaking these memories in together as a family.
