Our First Fire Of Winter

It has been unbelievably warm here for winter, especially for February, but today we actually had temperatures in the 30's and a lot wind! We decided it was a good afternoon for a fire, so Steve started setting everything up. Of course, with anything new and forbidden, Bella was fascinated! She definitely wanted to "help" the entire time that Steve was cleaning out the fireplace, setting up the logs, and opening the flue. It was good fun to watch him work and be extremely patient at the same time. We now have a cozy fire for the first time all winter!

Watching Daddy clean out the fireplace and asking, "Bella help? Bella do it?"

Making sure Daddy did it right.

Bella was so proud to help Daddy carry in logs from the garage!

She was trying to get as low as possible while Steve was lighting the fire logs. We had to have a very serious talk about no toys or fingers in the fire.
