Fireplace

Please forgive the over saturation of yellow in this picture, our camera doesn't do well in the the dark. This last week, we decided to build a fire and experience its warmth and beauty in our new home. We gathered around daddy on a blanket with mugs of steamy hot chocolate in our hands topped with marshmallows. Dad grabbed a book from the shelf and we all listened as he read the story of a famous classic fairytale. It is only a week away till my family arrives for Thanksgiving. I have no idea how I'm going to get 18 people in a photo around the fireplace, but it will be fun trying!

I didn't realize that the fireplace really worked. I have a decorative only fireplace and assumed yours was the same. That's cool. Now I want to see it in action personally. I love to sit around a fire and knit/read/drink cocoa.
