Lindsay was cold and decided to toast her feet in front of the fire. She thought that was the perfect solution!

Emily and Jeff playing a serious game of Chess while they bask in the warmth of the fireplace.One of Jeff's favorite things has always been a love for fireplaces. When we built this house he was insistent on getting a "real" fireplace because he wanted to watch it crackel and poke at it ( and clean up all those ashes, of course:)! He absolutely loves it and is so glad we have winters so he can enjoy it.
There really is something to relaxing and reading a good book in front of the fire that seems like the lap of luxury. The kids really love it too. They love to curl up and listen to me read to them. THat's what we do a lot of in the winter. Especially when it's winter and the snow is coming down--as it it tonight. We are supposed to get 3-4 inches. Not a lot but definitely fun. We love winter here but we do get tired of it come March. It seems we can't have out cake and eat it too.
We are almost done with the first stage of our church remodel project. I'll take pictures the next time I;m over there and post some. Our church is really going to look different!
Trust you all are doing well. I better run for now. TRISHA

We have one of those crazy gas things--it is nice to come in and just flip the switch but, it doesn't crackle, smoke, smell, or make ashes so I have to agree with Jeff, there is nothing like a 'real' fireplace!!! and could you please send us some of your snow?!?!? Karen
Anyone who lives up there deserves a real fireplace! We love them too - they're so Christmasy. Stay warm and toasty -

I'm jealous of the fireplace!! I told Troy last night, next house we build, we are having a fireplace no matter what! You are right, there is nothing like setting by a cozy fire when it is cold outside!
Love,
Jen
