The Stockings Were Hung by the Chimney With Care

This fireplace and mantle have NEVER been this clean and void of toys since we moved in. I was so excited to have it clean and bare that we decided to light a fire.... something we have NEVER done! The kids are so intrigued with the whole concept they want to have a fire going at all times now. If only it were self cleaning. Perhaps I should have asked Santa for gas logs for Christmas.

And before you get on me....Rose wasn't too close to the fire, and I know I need a fire screen.
